The fallacy of the Fallaci ‘fatwa’
By Kathleen Parker
..."Oriana Fallaci...has offended some disciples of Islam with her book, " The Force of Reason," and, by Allah, they intend to see she pays for it."Yes indeed! By Allah or by God - one and the same.
"...2002, French author Michel Houellebecq faced trial for calling Islam "the dumbest religion," and for saying the Koran was so badly written...courts acquitted him...Is it possible that radical Islam really does hate freedom?"
Or it is possible they love the Koran as much, or more so, than Christians love their bible.
"...Durham, N.C....three crosses were burned in different places around town...burning crosses represent beyond desecration of a religious symbol...perps are the sort of folks who, if they bathed, would need a toilet brush and a silo of Lysol."
Wrong. Most kkk's are white, male, clean shaven, crew cuts and radical Christians.
"We might wish the world were rid of these creeps, but alas, life is imperfect. I say "cut and deal," but then I'm a mere mortal."
A mere Barbie mortal unfamiliar with personal effects of racism directed at her or her loved ones.
"...Fallaci finds ethically weak, in her words: "insects who, disguised as ideologists, journalists, writers, actors, commentators, psycho-analysts, priests, warbling crickets, putains a la page, (that is, polished sluts), only say what they are asked to say."
e.g. Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan, Ollie North
"She is equally blunt in her warnings that to the world's jihadists, "… the West is a world to conquer and subjugate to Islam."
...to the world's crusaders, the East is a world to conquer and steal their resources and subjugate to Christianity.
"But there's no defensible reason why she shouldn't be permitted her say."
Amen.
