Okay...I agree she is fantastic. But I would hardly classify her as a conservative.
True story: In the early 1980s I'm in a barbershop waiting for a haircut and pick up a playboy magazine. After looking at the pictures I stumble across this 10,000 word interview with her. I read it in shock and awe, then actually bought the outdated magazine for $20.00 from the barbershop.

I've never heard from this interview...
In anyway, yes sir... She's not the typical "conservative" but her mind is the best one we have today in Europe. That's sure.

For many, she's best remembered for playing mind games with Henry Kissinger and getting him to make the confession that he sees himself as a hero on a white horse...or wants the publc to see him that way. However, her opposition to Vietnam was bitter and extended and she thought America's involvement in Afghanistant was a mistake -- she would have prefered to let the Soviets have it...etc,. etc.

In her book -- a best-seller in Italy and Spain -- Fallaci characterized Muslims as "vile creatures, who urinate in baptistries" and "multiply like rats." I'm certainly not aware that Muslims are rapidly reproducing.

Have you read Inshallah? That's brilliant.

Sure I've read it. And when we had an horrible terrorist attack in Nassyria (12 nov) I saw on TV the same scenes Oriana described in that book.
And even "If the sun dies" is really good..

"...Two others, including the Human Rights League, simply want disclaimers that its disparaging passages on Islam don't accurately reflect the Muslim religion....Maybe on BizarroWorld, but down here, it's spot-on.

Okay, my favorite fallaci story. About ten years ago I'm walking down West 57 Street in NYC. And striding (striding!) towards me amid the lunch time crowd is Fallaci. She was wearing this cape like thing that was fluttering out behind her and taking long strides. I was about to stop her to say how much I like her books, when I noticed the expression on her face, which was, "Don't even think of talking to me." People were actually getting out of her way...

My favorite Fallaci stories: When I went to Florence I went to some of her relatives on Ponte Vecchio, I asked them and they said me She was in NY. This summer I passed a mouth in Midtown waiting to see her... And She was in Italy writing her last book "Oriana Fallaci interviews Oriana Fallaci"... This summer I'll come again.
Don't say a word... I'm sooooo luck.

Its only been available in Italian for some time. Hopefully an English translation will be forthcoming. Oriana Fallaci's work is a tribute to the Tuscan dialect that Italians call "la lingua Dei." Literally, divine speech. Latin humanists despised it but there's no denying of all the Romance languages that grew out of the old Latin, Italian is the most musical of them all. And here we have the Eurotrash prosecuting Oriana for telling the world the truth about Islamofascism. Shame on Europe for going after an old lady!
