Dr. Rusty Shackleford at the Jawa Report expressed his support today for Oriana Fallaci who is being prosecuted by judge Armando Grasso for defaming Islam. So much for free speech in Italy:
ABC News— ROME (Reuters) – A judge has ordered best-selling writer and journalist Oriana Fallaci to stand trial in her native Italy on charges she defamed Islam in a recent book.
The decision angered Italy’s justice minister but delighted Muslim activists, who accused Fallaci of inciting religious hatred in her 2004 work “La Forza della Ragione” (The Force of Reason). …
So what’s so shocking about that? Read Dr. Shackleford’s story and find out:
The Jawa Report—Sir,
You are a fascist for prosecuting a women for exercising her right of free speech.
I stand in solidarity with Ms. Fallaci and beg you to also prosecute me. I have said much worse about Islam that she has. …
Rusty doesn’t pull any punches, that’s for sure; he let’s you know exactly where he stands…ahem…sits.
