A right-wing Italian paper is under fire for a blunt leading headline: Bastardi Islamici.

The two-word title, meaning “Muslim bastards” were splashed across seven columns in the Saturday edition of Libero. An overline reads “Attacks in Paris” and the underline emphasizes that the attackers cried “Allahu Akbar” when they fired their guns.

According to Hebrew language website Ynet, a lawsuit was filed against the paper.
