#1 Great post, OP.

"...in 1972, she interviewed the Palestinian terrorist George Habash, who told her (while a bodyguard aimed a submachine gun at her head) that the Palestinian problem was about far more than Israel. The Arab goal, Habash declared, was to wage war against Europe and America and to ensure that henceforth there would be no peace for the West. The Arabs, he informed her, would advance step by step. Millimeter by millimeter. Year after year. Decade after decade. Determined, stubborn, patient. This is our strategy. A strategy that we shall expand throughout the whole planet.

Fallaci thought he was referring simply to terrorism. Only later did she realize that he also meant the cultural war, the demographic war, the religious war waged by stealing a country from its citizens In short, the war waged through immigration, fertility, presumed pluriculturalism. It is a low-level but deadly war that extends across the planet, as any newspaper reader can see."

#2 "And, Fallaci being Fallaci, it is occasionally over the top and will no doubt be deeply offensive to many, particularly when, in a postscript the book might have been better off without, she claims that there is no such thing as moderate Islam."

And the El Lay Times being the El Lay Times can't help itself either.

She's onto something - and nails it - they're still paddling upstream.

#3 OP, I was just reading this off of LA Weekly. It's also at Little Green Footballs.

George Habash was a Christian.

#6 Habash was a communist and a third-world revolutionary. Thats more in line with what he meant.
