If they get the needed explosives, they will blow up Saint Peter's and the Sistine Chapel, and the Louvre, etc., etc. Can't have all those dirty pictures and unIslamic buildings around! They would like to blow up the Pyramids and the Sphinx, too--also unIslamic.

I just got the English version delivered to me two days ago, from Barnes & Noble online. I placed the order for it 2 weeks ago. Haven't had the chance to read it yet, though. Big fonts, and spacing but I think it is longer than the original essay. I wonder what kind of reaction I will get when I read it in a public place. Hmmmmm.....

I guess Jew bashing is the only thing allowed there these days.

Also anti-Americanism.

ROFL. Looks like the banter of your average zealot fuming cause someone had the brass to say something true that paints them in a bad light.

"When one finishes reading the book, one recognizes the right to kill any Muslim on the street," argued Hacen Taleb, the lawyer representing MRAP, in a statement to the court.

LOL! That's a bunch of BS!

These people have made their way into the madness. The fanatics of political correctness have engaged in a terrible whitewash of legalistic deception. Such lies only lead to deception, indifference and cynicism. Oriana Fallaci told the truth even though nowadays it's dangerous and costly. Muslims don't like to hear or speak the truth about their religion, so we tone it down and cover it over. All the while, however, the extremists know that the truth is so unsettling and so embarrassing that they would rather not risk to hear people like Fallaci.
