Again, she loves Arab culture and has written extensively about it. She has written very little about Muslim oppression - just a few tosses to honor killings in the mid-east. She was a student of Edward Said and has written forests of essays on him and his book “Orientalism.” In this way, she shares nothing with the late, great Oriana Fallaci. And I speak as a fan.
Another thing: when election time comes around, she will again support the Democratic candidate or the Green candidate as she’s done in the past. I’ve never seen her admit to voting for a Republican candidate.
I hate saying this because I’m such a huge admirer of hers but she has her flaws.
Oh, I beg to differ:
Like Fallaci, she is an Italian nationalist
Like Fallaci, she is an athiest
Like Fallaci, she is a fierce individualist
Like Fallaci, she has passion to burn
And like Fallaci she defends western culture even as she, unwittingly?, tears it apart.
And believe me, that's an Italian thing too.
