Great post dervish! Excellent reportage. Was this in NYC? If so, I am very, very, extremely sorry I missed it.

Oriana Fallaci and the War Against Islamofascism

This is the text of David Horowitz's speech given at a dinner organized by the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, when he bestowed the Center's prestigious Annie Taylor Award on Oriana Fallaci for her lifelong struggle against totalitarian ideologies. – The Editors.

So weird seeing Fallaci praised on a conservative site...

I love Oriana! Thanks for the post! She does get it, and I have written to Bush to state my objection to his Israeli policy, but no response, of course. Maybe we need a petition, drawn up by an organization that he listens to, to get his attention. I realize there are things we don't know that he is privy to, but overall, this path looks to be a dnagerous one for Israel, and I'm ashamed that we are pushing them to continue it.

Attending were Daniel Pipes, who introduced her, Robert Spencer who will be writing about the event in Frontpage, Norman Podhoretz, Frank Gaffney, Phyllis Chessler, John Fund of WSJ, Josh Gerstein of NY Sun, and assorted other who I probably did not recognize. It was an honor to be there.

I wonder if those "assorted other" included those warriors who are forced to write under pseudonyms, such as Ibn Warraq and Bat Y'eor -- those, like Spencer, whose lives are threatened by Islamists on a daily basis for speaking the truth about Islam.

What a great honor to be in Fallaci's presence, and the presence of those who have sacrificed personal security to wage a life and death struggle against the threat of Islam -- and what a contrast to those, like Murtha, who choose security and denial over the future of their grandchildren.

Thanks for the report.

"Moderate Islam is our invention. There is Islam and that is all." If the West doesn't accept this truth, we are doomed.

Tribute to Oriana Fallaci.

Thank you, dervish for an excellent reporting.

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Thank you for posting this. I love and admire Oriana Falacci.

[Rummyfan]

Oriana Fallaci is one of the great voices of the West and she will be sorely missed. Wish I could have been there. I wonder if C-SPAN will broadcast this at some point?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks, Dervish, for the topic and the ping.
