The Koran is about as "noble" as a pile of dogshit.
Allah sucks @#$%^ in hell. Now that's some hate speech for ya!
The writer is correct, islam is pure evil, and not of God! If you take the time to do a root word study of allah, you will find it is a god of the moon! The God I serve is a God of the universe. Also my God is a God of grace and forgiveness. Not so with islam!
She's dying of cancer already and has nothing to lose.
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill
Don't ask me, I don't understand it either...
"But after receiving hundreds of angry messages from Muslims, he backtracked on the defamatory comments, praising Islam as a religion of peace.
I thought that Paul Harvey was one of the more courageous radio commentators. Very disappointed in him. It's a good thing that there is a Michael Savage. Where have all the good men gone?
No! No! No!!!!
Oriana Fallaci will never take back anything she has written about the scrofulous cult of islam!
I keep her splendid book "The Rage And The Pride" in a place of honor in my library.
Oriana will NOT fold before the sickness of political correctness...this abomination coming out of Italy is nothing but the craven fear of these fools.
Fallaci will never bend to this mental derangement.
That judge & the Moslem Union should all go Fanuzzi.
Just checking.
In The Force of Reason Fallaci takes aim at the many attacks and death threats she received after the publication of The Rage and the Pride. Ms. Fallaci begins by identifying herself with one Master Cecco, the author of a heretical book who was burnt at the stake during the Inquisition seven centuries ago on account of his beliefs, and proceeds with a rigorous analysis of the burning of Troy and the creation of a Europe that, to her judgment, is no longer her familiar homeland but rather a place best called Eurabia, a soon-to-be colony of Islam (with Italy as its stronghold). Ms. Fallaci explores her ideas in historical, philosophical, moral, and political terms, courageously addressing taboo topics with sharp logic.
If I were this lady, I would write the court a letter and tell the judge and the court to go screw themselves. An Italian court has no jurisdiction over an American citizen living in the US. She has broken no US laws.
Here is a discussion of Hate Speech Laws from the first lawsuit on Fallachi's Rage and Pride. She beat that one. Let's hope she beats this one too.

And this was not prosecuted as Hate Speech:
"April 3: the front page of the national daily newspaper La Stampa carried a cartoon by Giorgio Forattini as a comment on the occupation of Bethlehem. At the sight of an Israeli tank a baby Jesus in a crèche asks: Are they going to kill me for a second time? A heated debate followed in the papers. Many resentful letters were sent to the editor and numerous Catholic readers filed protests. The president of the Union of Jewish Communities, Amos Luzzatto, strongly criticised the return of the accusation of deicide, cancelled by the Second Vatican Council. The director of La Stampa distanced himself from the author of the cartoon. The same day someone wrote Israelis Murderers on the walls of a synagogue in Siena."

Hate speech is a convenient means of enforcing political correctness,and supporting leftist and pro-Muslim causes, via selective enforcement.
1. It will focus a bright light on the cockeroaches that brought it.
2. It will bring a new audience to read her book.
3. Europe might actually have to face the evil in its midst. Now.
There is no way to be "offensive to Islam", because Islam isn't a personality.
In any case, I wholeheartedly agree -- "hate speech" is just a tool of the single party state advocates of the "left" (which is identical with the fascist "right"), and all such ninny laws have to be swept off the books. They are an obvious violation of the First Amendment. The First Amendment isn't protected by restricting speech.
