These prosecutions of Fallaci are criminal in themselves. The Left often whines about the loss of freedom, but these so-called "hate" statutes are causing us all to lose our freedom of speech. This is one aspect of the game the Left always plays - free speech is for me (the Left) and not for you. Say something critical of Islam and you will be branded a "hater". It's ironic that I can walk into any bookstore in this country and pick up a copy of "Mein Kampf", or the latest hateful screed from, say, Michael Moore. But an important mind like Fallaci gets trashed by our self-appointed guardians of the public good.
Ping for an interesting article. An Italian of like-mind, writing against terrorism.
Thank you for the post.
bump.
Just another Bush basher who doesn't believe him when he calls Islam a "Religion of Peace". /s
Probably doesn't find the hand holding charming either.
BUMP
Have you heard anything on her trial? I haven't heard a peep.
Anyone who hasn't yet read "The Rage and the Pride" should certainly do so, as well as this latest column. Fallaci is a strong voice of truth.
I don't think she's going to be with us much longer, more's the pity. "Pious atheist?" Not so you'd notice. Stubborn skeptic, yes...
Big bump!!
We know this woman will fight these Borg with her last breath and that may not be long in coming. Hope not but she is very ill.
Looong but EXCELLENT Bump!
This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately on my page.
Besides this one, I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Orson Scott Card, David Warren and Lee Harris (sometimes). You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).
Bump- for later read!
What a good woman she is....Oriana has more brains and stones than ninety percent of the male liberals screeching around about "dialogue" and "understanding"....
Thanks for the great post. I wonder how many Moslems, we allow to emigrate into the United States each year at this time. I think it is time to start talking about approaching zero.
Whatever one says about the problem of Moslems in our society, there is no doubt that it is much easier to keep them out than to deal with them once they are in.
Great as usual.
