#2 Personally, I think Islam is a cesspool of depravity. They want to rule the world and make everyone elso subservient.

#3 Italian author and veteran journalist Oriana Fallaci goes on trial Monday, charged with defaming Islam in a 2004 book. Fallaci, who lives in New York, was not expected to attend the hearing in Bergamo, northern Italy.

Muslim activist Adel Smith filed a lawsuit against Fallaci, charging that some passages in her book, "The Strength of Reason," were offensive to Islam. Smith's lawyer cited a phrase from the book that refers to Islam as "a pool ... that never purifies."

Fallaci told The Associated Press last year that "I have expressed my opinion through the written word through my books, that is all."

I just read this book (excellent!). I cannot call up the exact quote right now (I am at work) but she esseenutally compares Islam with a stagnant pool which does not clense itself and, over time, becomes a poisionous water which you wouldn't even use to water your cattle. Poisioning and killing anyone and everyone who partakes of it - in short the pool (Islam) celebrates stagnation and death. While the west is like a flowing river - continually clensing and renewing itself on its way to the the sea - representing and celerating life.

Personally I can't want until her third book in the triade The Apocalypse comes out in english.

#4 If her defense lawyer is halfway decent he can get large portions read allowd in court and get the prosecuters to try to refute them as untruths. Stay away from the "made me feel bad" stuff and stick to the truth/false and I think this case could really spread the word she's trying to spread. Even if she loses the case.

If I her I'd show up for the end of the trial. Make a big speech and add fake injury to the list of Islams crimes as they try to harrass an old Italian bird for speaking the truth.
