Controversial Italian journalist's new book says Europe is becoming 'a province of Islam'

ROME (AP) -- A new book by controversial journalist Oriana Fallaci that hit bookstores here Monday accuses Europe of having sold its soul to what she describes as an Islamic invasion.

Entitled "The Strength of Reason," ("La Forza della Ragione" in Italian), the book also accuses the Roman Catholic Church of being too weak before the Muslim world.

"Europe becomes more and more a province of Islam, a colony of Islam. And Italy is an outpost of that province, a stronghold of that colony," the book says. "In each of our cities lies a second city: a Muslim city, a city run by the Quran. A stage in the Islamic expansionism."

The book comes more than two years after the Italian writer's best-selling essay "The Rage and The Pride" drew accusations Fallaci was inciting hatred against Muslims.

A group in France unsuccessfully sought to stop distribution of the book, while two other associations have requested that it carry a warning.

Oriana ROCKS, and she's very influential in Italy.

Perhaps the warning should be 'Beware, this Truth could set you Free'. Oh well, perhaps Europians like the fact that their ruling elites have artifically raised the price of gas (oil) for their muslim handlers.

Spain Violating Ceasefire Agreement?

Spanish authorities continue lethal and non-lethal attempts to capture the Islamist soldiers who conducted the successful military operation against Madrid's trains. Should Spain be punished for resurrecting their historic war against Islam in violation of the ceasefire arrangement they were granted by al-Qaida as reward for voting to end Spain's criminal opposition to the true faith?

Spain is in serious trouble. Infiltraited with well armed islamic terrorist who will blow themselves up spectacularly, rather then be caught.

I read the The Rage And The Pride. It was one of Oriana Fallaci's best works in ages. Her new work should be even more revealing. Its true Europe is dying and that's a fact that to no end upsets the Eurotrash.

She previously was a 'go to' talking head on NPR/PBS/CNN news channels. Since "The Rage and The Pride" she has been almost non-existent.

So what if it is? It's no great loss. No oil, no gold, no intellectual community.

Europe is in trouble. Holland is waking up to this, even France is starting to realize it has a problem.

Making Muslim kids take off their headscarfs in school isn't going to solve it.

The average European is not even replacing themselves, and Islamic immigration is rampant.

In 30 years they will have lost their culture to the Islamics. Who can tell what will happen with a Muslim Europe? Holy War? Will the Europeans try to emigrate here to take cover?

Will we in the West understand in time?

If we don't...then we will face even worse than what I describe in The Dragon's Fury Series.

...and we will find other enemies and antagonists flocking to the Islamic cause (or using it) to try and help bring America down. They alreay are IMHO.

And where is the outrage about Muslims inciting hatred against Jews? Or against Christians? The silence is deafening over there...

"Camp of the Saints" should be required reading for all.

Also note that France possesses an arsenal of nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them. If the Islamics take over in France, Islam has their bomb.

Is this still true, I thought France was disarming?

The French stockpile as of 2002 is estimated at approximately 350 warheads of three types. The historical peak of 538 was reached in 1991-92.

We're pouring the muslim problem into this country too, to the tune of 100,000 new legal green-card-holding Muslim aliens per year. Pakistan is the number one source country.

Call your congressman and the White House. Demand an Islamic immigration pause - at least until the War on Terrorism is won.
