		<description>Hmmm, I dunno, I don't think the Mafia was at all created to protect themselves from the Muslims. Most encyclopedias and so on say the Mafia only originated around the 19th Century when the Italian State formed, basically serving as protection for the large orange and lemon estates surrounding the city of Palermo, from Industrialists and rival Mafia Bosses. From this, the Mafia began to spread its roots among the landowners and politicians of Sicily. Forming strong links with the government, and so on and so on until it grew into a corrupt organization we know today. 

I think the whole Muslim theory is spreading it a bit too far, and when was Sicily ever under Muslim control during the 1000's?

I mean a few similiarities between a Shaykh, or Emir, and how those who gave allegiance to him kissed is hand doesn't mean much. Kissing someone's hand in Italian probably also a strong sign of loyalty, just like bowing is in other cultures and such. </description>
