Brassmonkey man you know to check anything Bladus says, right? Here's the truth:
....Ultimately, the North African male contribution to Sicily was estimated between 6% and 7.5% (North African is Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria)
....African Haplogroup L lineages are relatively infrequent (less than 1%) throughout Italy with the exception of Latium, Volterra, Basilicata and Sicily where frequencies between 2 and 3% have been found.
HOWEVER .... A 2010 study of Jewish genealogy found that with respect to non-Jewish European groups, the population most closely related to Ashkenazi Jews are modern-day Italians followed by the French and Sardinians.
