I love this. Go get them, Oriana!

Regards, Ivan

Bump!

[eddie willers]

She condemns rampant anti-Americanism in Europe as suicidal. “America is us,” she writes in her book. “If America collapses, Europe collapses, the whole of the West collapses.”

Truer words have never been spoken.

I would never have contempt for someone who says ‘I am a Muslim’, but I would ask
‘What kind of Muslim are you? Are you one of them?’ ”

That would be how I'd phrase the question before 9-11.

After 9-11 and learning more about Islam, I'd never ask such a question.
Because I'd not be able to restrain myself from rhetorically asking:
"What kind of Muslim are you? Full Blown Killer Radical, terrorist-enabling
"Moderate Muslim", or a friendly-veneered killer in Western clothing?"

I'm sure there are good, virtuous, kindly Muslims out there.
But as time goes on, I wonder where "there" is.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Yeah, somebody gets it.

Wow! She is right. Why haven't NOW protested against what they do in those countries? Why are they silent about the abuse women get in those countries? Because they are a bunch of liberal lesbian cowards. They love to take advantage of all the freedoms they have in this country for women but remain silent when their own gender are being abused and are burning themselves alive out of fear in these countries.

This woman needs to be protected and needs to go on national television and spread the work about the hateful muslims. AS A WOMAN I SAY WE NEED TO HEAR MORE FROM HER!! Kudos to her for speaking the truth!!!

Thanks Ivan. I've bookmarked it.

Shermy/Squantos this is for you: By “them” she means “Islamo-fascists”, the admirers of Osama Bin Laden, whom she is determined to fight as bitterly as her father, a Tuscan resistance leader, fought Mussolini. “They are multiplying like protozoa,” she warns readers of her book. “There are millions and millions of extremists.”

You keep throwing around words like "Fallaci Alert", and pretty soon Bill Clinton will start lurking here...at least until his 'reading and comprehension' skills improve a bit.

“Not a single one of those countries has a drop of democracy. Our laws are superior. Our standards of living are superior. Our respect for women is superior. We are not beheaded if we cuckold our husbands. We don’t wear the burqa. This is superior, for Christ’s sake. In 1,400 years, Islam has never made an act of self-criticism. It is the immovable mountain.”

Slam. Dunk.

Our girl is at it again.Crazy Italian chick ;-)

I thought he lurked here anyway - that's why I keep mentioning why I think he is a contemptible, lying, theiving, corrupt, disease-ridden, worm-eaten piece of scum who ought to rot in the depths of Hell. ;)

Regards, Ivan

[ErnBatavia]

worm-eaten piece of scum

But without his bifocals, he might read that as "womyn eaten"....THAT may be why he lurks.........

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Sounds like my kind of lady! Note that she is an older generation European. Hope there are others like her!

[OldFriend]

If she could know how much she is admired by those of us who have only newly discovered her writing. Every single word she wrote after 9/11 was balm to our broken hearts. She spoke truth to their terror.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Her views led the Movement against Racism in France to accuse her of inciting religious hatred. Its attempt to force the publishers to withdraw the book or insert a warning about its contents infuriated Fallaci.

Sounds like some of threads I've been reading about Lott. :-)

I like Oriana, she tells it like it is. And as this article says, Fallaci declared war on political correctness before the term was invented. Just the type of person I really like.

[texasbluebell]

The next edition of her book will be even more intemperate, she promises. “I don’t want the burqa. I want to stuff it in their throats.”

Bump for the great Fallaci!

[Pining_4_TX]

A police officer I know says that when he is called to a domestic dispute at the Muslim home, the husband is always amazed to discover that it is illegal in this country to beat the hell out of one's wife. The police officer takes great joy in hauling these weasels off to jail, particularly when they resist. But, all cultures are equally valid according to liberals.

[Cicero]

Rage and Pride is a magnificent read. Any Freepers who haven't already done so should certainly read it.
