"inciting racial hatred"

Is that actually the charge? Islam is a religion, not a race, and a majority of Muslims worldwide are not Arabs.

Fallaci is indeed a long time liberal and feminist, albeit something of a maverick on the Left.

The anti-racist associations argue otherwise.

All these groups exist specifically to fan the fires of racism. The left typically hides behind names that sound the opposite of what they are. Why the need to lie in everything they do? I don't suppose the The Society for the Advancement of Racism would do very well.

Yeah, I think she's in the Christopher Hitchens real of leftists the left is keeping an eye on.

"Just wait until an iron fist takes over France in response to all of this garbage."

They're teetering. The whole EU thing gives me the creeps, being a fulfillment of sorts for the Reich. Powerful delusion over there, condemning Israelis as Nazis. Putative "pro-Palestinian" morphed into the old anti-semitism rather quickly. Chomsky et al. I understand that Chomsky wrote somthing of an apologetic as intro to a book written by a Neo-Nazi in France some years ago. It's an odd admixture that does not fit the preconceptions of Americans, that's for sure. Doesn't look like a combo of the natives' thinly veiled distaste is going to be mitigated by the presence of so many radical Islamists, does it?

The body of Theo van Gogh lies alone on an Amsterdam street with 5 page notes written both in Arabic and Dutch.

As far as I know, "The Rage and the Pride" is a post-9/11 essay that can be read here:

It is a wonderful essay.

I've read the book. She is quite articulate, and utterly unafraid to tell it like it is.

"It is a wonderful essay."

I was confused when the article described it as a "novel." I read it and would describe it as a long essay; I think it was about 100 pages.

Once a bucket always a bouquet.
Once a bigot always a beego.
It looses something when typed.

The 't' is not pronounced in 'Bigot' when stating his name properly in French.

"...but THOUSANDS have been killed by Muslims who have read the Koran and followed its mandate to kill the infidels."

Only thousands? I bet it's more than that. And that's not counting members of their own faith killed for religious reasons/justifications. Satan smiles...

True, I think. The 1960s Jackie Gleason film "Gigot," in which he played a mute Frenchman, was pronounced "zhee-go".

France. The nation that made 2 best sellers out of conspiracy books that the US launched a missile painted to resemble a plane into the Pentagon on 9/11.

Or, in Carolina Low Country ("Geech") it's sort of like "Be Go, fo' somebody drop da house on you!" Oh, wait a minute, that would be "Be gwine." Never mind, LOL.
