I love this. Go get them, Oriana!

Bump!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Maybe there is hope for Europe after all.

What a woman!

Pax Americana has allowed two generations of Europeans to landscape their grave yards. Aside from the post-war peace during which socialists pretended that socialism actually worked, the sharia in Eurabia will bring social order missing throughout 20th Century Europe.

"Its success has persuaded her that a politically correct elite is out of step with public opinion.

We are the world,
We are the children,
We are the ones who make a better day
So lets start giving.

Kudos to Oriana!

Meanwhile, in Canada, the leftists continue their shameless arse-licking of the Islamo-terrorists.

We're coming to a cross-road, folks.

To your #39 I would add that this malicious ignorance by the Left has been pointed out to them since the early '40s by all sorts of writers, from ex-Marxists to Tories and libertarians.

Consider the power of self-delusion; it can vanish in a single moment, but it is fundamental to Socialism's prospects.

That's why all socialism tends to totalism-- if the people ever actually gave thought to their situation, they'd overthrow the regime in a day.

"There is red fascism and black fascism. The roots of illiberality are the same."

She is admirable for her moral courage.

I just finished her book - "fury" is right - you certainly don't end up with any misapprehensions about where she stands on the issue if Islam's treatment of women. For those who don't know her, “I don’t want the burqa. I want to stuff it in their throats" manifested itself once during an interview with a Very Important Moslem. She did tear off the burqa she had to wear in order to be admitted into his presence and threw it in his face. That was the Ayatollah Khomeini.
