The Italian author Oriana Fallaci, who once wrote that Muslims "breed like rats", may be facing up to three years in prison after she vowed to blow up a mosque.
Ms Fallaci, 75, who has cancer, is due to appear in court next week charged with the lesser offence of vilifying Islam, punishable with a £3,450 fine.
But after her latest outburst in the New Yorker last week Muslim leaders are demanding that she be tried for inciting religious hatred, which carries a three-year jail term.
The former journalist, who has said she will not attend Monday's hearing in Bergamo, told the magazine that she intended to destroy a mosque being built at Colle di Val d'Elsa, near Siena.
"I do not want to see a 24-metre minaret in the landscape of Giotto when I cannot even wear a cross or carry a Bible in their country, so I blow it up!" she said. In a trilogy of books published after the attacks of September 11, Ms Fallaci lamented the Islam "invasion" into Europe.
Judge Armando Grasso ruled in a preliminary hearing that Ms Fallaci had made 18 statements "offensive to Islam and Muslims".
Following her most recent comments, Adel Smith, the president of the Italian Muslim Union, said he would press for the sterner charge of inciting religious hatred.

They don't learn from their own Fascist past. Muslim and Nazis/Fascists/Communists/Leftists make perfect bedfellows.

Villifying Islam is a criminal offense? Wow. An entire category of thought is off-limits even for consideration.

Where can I donate for her fund
seriously, its sad that the EU pussies have to have women defend them.
Then they punish them for it. Just like cops when you solve crime they are to afraid to confront.

The woman's a saint, and one of the few europeans who understands the nature of the threat. We Americans should give her the Medal of Freedom.

How many moose-limbs are in prison for vilifying Christians and Jews? Not only are none in prison, but they get lauded for it by their peers and others. Hell, I think even DimLibs would be happy with such behavior. Nobodies too bad to hammer on the Living God and His followers.

"The Italian author Oriana Fallaci, who once wrote that Muslims "breed like rats", may be facing up to three years in prison after she vowed to blow up a mosque." I wonder why he decided to insult rats?

"Villifying Islam is a criminal offense? Wow. An entire category of thought is off-limits even for consideration." Don't scoff too soon, this may be coming to a (Liberal, Fed) Court near you.
Think not? Wait and see what our PC Islamo-Apoligist-Supporters "freaks" have in store for us.

Oh my dear Lord, what a bunch of hypicritical nonsense..
Someone please, start a daily posting with all the anti-infidal cartoons printed in daily Arab/Muslim newspapers. It's about time we educate ourselves to the depth of Arab/Muslim hypocrisy.
