Freedom of Speech in Italy *Poof*
Written by Mark Harris on May 25th, 2005This extremely disturbing article from the Washington Post notes that an Italian writer living in New York has been indicted in Italy for “stirring up hate” against Muslims, under a charge of defamation, by writing a book that stated:
In “La Forza della Ragione,” Fallaci wrote that terrorists had killed 6,000 people over the past 20 years in the name of the Koran and said the Islamic faith “sows hatred in the place of love and slavery in the place of freedom.”
An Italian Justice had this to say
“In Europe we are seeing the birth of a movement that is looking to silence those who don’t follow a single mindset, within which it is forbidden to speak ill of Islam, of homosexuals or of the children of homosexuals,” Castelli was quoted as saying in an interview with Radio Padania.
SO the light of liberty grows dimmer in the Old West too, these are dark days for Western Society indeed.

Unlike most of her detractors, I’ve actually read Oriana Falacci’s book “The Rage and the Pride”. Though it certainly isn’t perfect, least of all stylistically, it raises all of the right points. The poor woman is dying of cancer, it’s been eating away at her for years. I hope she finds peace in her heart despite the calumny of the left against her.
