Rest In Peace Oriana
“ROME — Oriana Fallaci, the Italian writer and journalist best known for her abrasive interviews and provocative stances, has died, officials said Friday. She was 76….
Combative Writer Oriana Fallaci Dies
“Fallaci’s recent publications _ including the best-selling book “The Rage and The Pride,” which came out weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks _ drew accusations of racism and inciting hatred against Mus–lims.
A group in France unsuccessfully sought to stop distribution of the book, while two other associations have requested that it carry a warning notice…
It also took the Catholic Church to task for being what she considers too weak before the Mus–lim world.
Describing Europe as “Eurabia,” Fallaci said the continent “has sold itself and sells itself to the enemy like a prostitute.”
A brilliant, outspoken woman who was always under the gun for her fiery statements and what many considered “controversial views” on relations between the western world and Izlam.
I am humbled by her strength, which was her trademark.
Always on the forefront of fights to defend women’s rights, and never backing down in the face of threats.
Rest in Peace Oriana.
You blazed the trail.

I knew that Oriana’s death was imminent. Nevertheless, I am grieving today.
I miss her already!

“Blazed the trail” she most certainly did, Angel. She had courage to spare! I am saddened to hear that she died. This is the first I’ve heard of it. May she rest in peace… finally. She certainly didn’t find much peace while she was here.

I’m linking you also. TypePad was down for service this morning. I’m hoping they get their problems, which are many, fixed.

Pope’s comments and Muslim reaction, let’s review…
Muslims around the world are upset with the Pope’s comments on Islam. They say it’s a religion of peace so what do they do? Riot, burn effigies of the Pope, and more. The Pope spoke the truth and now Muslim…

When Homework Becomes Controversial…
I have always felt that The Gremlin is highly intelligent. She proved me correct recently when she decided not to ask her father’s help with a particular piece of homework. As a result, she avoided a rather strong negative reaction……

I couldn’t get here yesterday, Angel! Typepad and Wordpress weren’t working right!
I hope that her example blazes the way for the future. Her loss is a great one.

She never backed down from her beliefs. She stood up to the Nazis and she stood up to Islam despite criticism from her own country. She spent a lot of her final years in New York…I hope Italy realizes their loss.
