The islamic people CHOOSE not to assimilate into the culture. They want to bring down Western Europe to THEIR level. Whatever. Meanwhile, a saint like Orianna Falacci is dying of breast cancer.

Sounds like that book is enjoying similar popularity and sales rates in Italy as "Unfit for Command" is in America. Perhaps the human rights groups should consider that most humans AREN'T STUPID!!

-----> From another newspaper

The Italian press has rejected Colombani's accusation, complaining that racism is not Italy's but Europe's problem. Newspapers pointed out that Israel's Ariel Sharon had called on French Jews to move to Israel to escape rising anti-Semitism in France.

But the success of an anti-Islamic tract by the veteran Italian war correspondent Oriana Fallaci, who says Europe is turning 'into Eurabia', added to fears that unabashed racism is winning an ever-wider audience in Italy. The book, Oriana Fallaci Interviews Oriana Fallaci, sold 500,000 copies in a matter of hours. Stocks of the volume, sold with the daily newspaper Corriere della Sera, were exhausted and a new edition is being prepared.

'I say what I think and that is what people think but almost never say,' said Fallaci. 'They have found someone who gives a voice to their silence.' Many buyers said they read the volume because they wanted to know how extreme the extremist anti-immigrants were becoming.

Racism monitors say non-white Italians and coloured immigrants are treated systematically with less respect than white Italians in Italy.

'We are still at a stage in this country where coloured people are considered different and treated, if not as inferiors, as children,' said Luciano Scagliotti, representative in Italy of the European Network Against Racism.

*** That is a BALDFACED LIE. I know PERSONALLY that is not true. *LOL* Lord have mercy. If their 'racism monitors' are anything like the victicrats the US has, all the more reason not to believe them.

I would suggest that this book be banned so the hatred growing for the Arabs in Italy allows to fester.

If we're lucky, the rage will finally burst forth and the Italians will physically drive the ragheads out of Italia.

If you mean that the Bible is an anti-islamic book, that's already being decided by Canada I believe. It's ridiculous. BTW, I'd argue that the Bible is anti-islam but not anti-muslim people because God loves all people but hates sin.

Italians got more pride than the Froggies and the Germans who just about bend over for the Mohammedans.

isn't any book opposing Islam a racist and mean-spirited book?

It's interesting that whenever Islam is questioned, people scream 'racism'. Islam has nothing to do with race. It just creates more uproar to pretend it has something to do with race.

I have no problem with people of ANY race living next to me, of any culture or language, etc, as long as they aren't living in the 7th century and wiring up detonators.

That crazy Muslim stuff has as much substance as Nostradamus's predictions.

That's a shame. She's a very gutsy lady.
