An Italian author and journalist Oriana Fallaci, is on trial in Italy for defaming Islam. She wrote a book in 2004. Here is the "damning" evidence.


She lives in New York and will not attend the trial.

Does this mean I get to sue every time an American flag is burned, an American is beheaded or other acts committed in the name of Islam that offend me? Where do I start?!

Here is some more background on the story.

Quote:

Oriana Fallaci is 75 years old. The renowned Italian journalist lives in hiding because of death threats she received after the publication in 2001 of her book The Rage and the Pride. She is dying of cancer. And now she is going to go on trial for “defaming Islam.” Italian Justice Minister Roberto Castelli was unhappy with Grasso’s decision. “In Europe,” he declared, “we are seeing the birth of a movement that is looking to silence those who don’t follow a single mindset, within which it is forbidden to speak ill of Islam….In Fallaci’s book there is very strong criticism but not defamation.”
