#1 Yet, despite the U.S.'s relative tolerance for free expression, Fallaci has not been particularly welcomed here either. The journalist first earned the contempt of the Intellectual Left with her vocal opposition to abortion. Today many intellectuals, both left and right, regard her as an anti-Muslim racist. As with Salman Rushdie before her, the cultural elites seem a little embarrassed by Fallaci, and not a few believe that both Rushdie and Fallaci deserve their fate.

These pseudo-intellectuals should be deported to Sudan to live under Sharia law for a year or so. Enough of these pretenders!

#2 Oriana is a hero. Though I might not agree with her on some issues that in no way takes away from the respect she is due for being honest with her readers and the fact she makes her feeling and understanding plain.

Make me wonder why people listen to wankers when persons like her speak from vision and expiernce.
Respecting the ideas of our elders is a good idea sometimes.
