I do plan to read more of her works. Thanks for the links. I appreciate the honesty of her writing.

She wrote this right after the massacre by the Arab terrorists. I think she must have been pleased with Berlusconi's statements earlier this year that the "chattering insects" raked him over the coals for. For saying Western civilization is the best!

I wish we had more writers like her. dennisw described her as "a female swashbuckler," and I think that's fitting.

Camille Paglia is another "non-conservative" writer/commentator whose work I like a lot- she does not suffer fools gladly.

Great article..filled with important ideas, well-written.

I took the time to read the entire article when it was previously posted. There are VERY few intellectually honest commentators on either side. This woman is without peer, IMO.

Unfortunately, there is no venue for her, other than perhaps a long long interview on Book Notes. She has much to offer, not that the masses would begin to understand.

FR has made a place for her, thankfully!

WaterDragon, you did a great job with the editing. It must have taken you some time to do it. This is the first time I have ever read any of her writings, and I plan to read more.

backhoe, thanks for the links, I will definately read them.

Great stuff. Many thanks for this post, which most of us would never have seen had you not taken the time to redact it. Bravo!

"And they all got their skulls cracked by America: English, Germans, Mexicans, Russians, Nazis, Fascists, Communists. Even the Vietnamese got their's cracked in the end, when they had to come to terms after their victory....(snip)It's going to be much harder to deal with the sons of Allah. Much longer and much harder. Unless the rest of the Western world stops peeing its pants. And starts reasoning a little and gives them a hand....(snip)"

Right-on !!

Oriana Falacci is a hero. Defend her right to free speech and everyone's right to freedom of the press.

Voltaire wrote: "I may find what you say disagreeable, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

The French have come a long way since Voltaire and the Age of Enlightenment.
