#1 I have got some offensive language for the Italian Judge that is letting this proceed. Stupidity.

#2 Conservative Islam means never having to read a book other than the Koran. It is no wonder therefore that such conservatives seemingly have no sense of irony, humour or compassion for their fellow man. I think this should serve as a warning to us in the UK to completely scrap any plans to implement the Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill. The courts of this fair nation will be full of one-eyed crazed mullahs trying to prosecute authors, journalists, politicians, anyone for the slightest criticisms of Islam (and pronouncing fatwahs should they fail). Another step toward the Caliphate of Europe.

#3 Is this what you kno about Islam???
I'd say: If you REALLY want to understand yourself, you better start by understanding "The Other".

#4 WTF?

Recall that the prosecutors (themselves?) requested that the suit - by the activist who tried to have crucifixes banned in Italy - be thrown out ...

#5 OK, Angerong Ulotch1220, that comment registered a 8.3 on the Opacity Meter(TM).

#6 Bite me Angerong Ulotch1220. the ones who need to understand "The Other" are muslims, who don't recognize anyone else as fully human.

#7 The Ulotch has been stirred.

#8 I'm pretty sure that the title here is wrong.

I don't think the muslim union is suing in the tort sense. I think the muslim union is trying to have Oriana convicted of a criminal offense. Given that the prosecutors themselves asked that the case be dismissed, things look pretty bad for the muslim union on the criminal matter. Of course that means they will seeth.

#9 Someone on this site once said:

Everything I ever needed to know about Islam I learned on 911.

#10 I'd like to see Mr. Adel Smith learn the true meaning of the word: "backlash". She will take his testicles (assuming he has any) in verbal combat. I look forward to it

#11 WTF? You can get sued for insulting a concept? I mean, I can understand getting sued for libel or slander, but for this?

#12 Yep, Dar. Welcome to the wonderful world of Political Correctness. Been to a college lately? "Inappropriate laughter" can get you kicked out or sentenced to ~~Maoist~~ sensitivity training. Look at Canada.

Of course, Christians are just dumb Bible-thumpers, so it's OK to have taxpayer-funded "art" like Piss Christ. And Joooooos aren't really human...

#13 we all need to understand the other, that is true.

To do so we need to be able to speak in freedom. I dont think a suit against Ms. Fallaci will accomplish that. While Im no fan of Ms. Fallaci or her book on Islam, to censor her would have a chilling effect.

#14 Well said LH.

#15 Bah. This won't get anywhere because Fallaci is Fallaci.

But what happens when some poor schmo who isn't a celebrity decides to tell the truth? The chilling effect has already come, I'm afraid.

#17 Everything I ever needed to know about Islam I learned on 911.

Re-learned after Bali.

And Madrid.

And Beslan.

And the Nord-Ost massacre.

And almost daily in Iraq, where Muslims are being killed, so they can never be free -- to the silence, assent even, of the rest of the Muslim world.

#18 AU's basic premise is fine enough though you don't need to ponder a cultural train wreck (islamic) in progress all that long to learn what not to do and to understand who you are.

#20 I knew I heard this pricks name before...

A controversy has erupted in Italy over a court ruling ordering a state kindergarten to remove crucifixes from its classrooms. A judge in the central town of L'Aquila upheld a complaint by an Italian Muslim leader, Adel Smith.

He's the Michael Newdow of Italy. Kick his ass, Oriana.

#21 Mebbe we can soak up the Wahhabi & MM money by suing all their imams for "insulting" the ~~Great Satan~~ US...

#22 HOW DO YOU INSULT A STUPID IDEA? That's exactly what islam is.....a STUPID idea! It's OK though, for them to call Jews monkeys and the like. But, heaven forbid, that someone should tell the truth about their STUPID F**KING IDEA.

muhammad was the "michael jackson" of his day. A goofy, phony, lying, pedophile.

Cockroaches hate it when you shine a light on 'em.
