FrontPage magazine.com :: War Blog: ORIANA FALLACI TO BE TRIED FOR THOUGHT CRIMES

This is where they want to take you and me. Who? CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), ISNA (Islamic Society of North America), MSA (Muslim Student Association), and many more, along with the fifth columnist anti-American postmodernists.

Freedom and rights remain always just a nanosecond away from the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages have been the default position of mankind for his history. Without eternal vigilance and the willingness to fight off all who would take our best from us every single time they try, we will lose.

I am reminded of the old expression, which deserves paraphrasing: You have have my rights and freedoms when you can pry them from my cold, dead fingers!

The Italian city of Bergamo is going to put author Oriana Fallaci on trial—for defaming Islam. (Hat tip: SoCalJustice.)

(AGI) - L’Aquila, Italy, May 24

- In Oriana Fallaci’s book “The Force of Reason” there are expressions that are “unequivocally offensive to Islam and Muslims,” said the Bergamo preliminary investigative judge, Armando Grasso, who accepting the Adel Smith’s opposition to filing away the trial proposed by the prosecutor, ordered the prosecution to formulate the charge “according to article 406 of article 403 of the criminal code,” for defamation of Islam. The well known author, therefore, will be put on trial. Adel Smith, president of the Italian Muslim Union, sued the writer on April 8, 2004, after “also in other writings Oriana Fallaci had propagated hate against Islam and Muslims, distorting real historical facts and inventing others, lying, offending, and defaming Muslims around the world. For the rest, ever since ”Anger and Pride“ the writer has injured Islam and Muslims, writing expressions such as ‘f*cking sons of Allah’,” said Smith. The Bergamo Prosecution is taking on the trial, since the book was published in the city, and now has ten days to come up with a charge. The preliminary hearing judge will set the trial date. Matteo Nicoli of Verona will represent Adel Smith.

Adel Smith is a well-known Italian Muslim activist who (among other specious lawsuits) tried to have all crucifixes removed from Italian schools.

Keep your attention fixed to this "trial," which never should be able to occur in a civilized country, and its outcome. If Ms. Fallaci is convicted, they will be coming next for you.
