Via LFG, who, honestly, has been on this beat longer than anyone, comes further evidence of the insanity of the PC crowd with respect to Islam:
FALLACI TO GO ON TRIAL FOR DEFAMING ISLAM(AGI) - L'Aquila, Italy, May 24 - In Oriana Fallaci's book "The Force of Reason" there are expressions that are "unequivocally offensive to Islam and Muslims," said the Bergamo preliminary investigative judge, Armando Grasso, who accepting the Adel Smith's opposition to filing away the trial proposed by the prosecutor, ordered the prosecution to formulate the charge "according to article 406 of article 403 of the criminal code," for defamation of Islam. The well known author, therefore, will be put on trial. Adel Smith, president of the Italian Muslim Union, sued the writer on April 8, 2004, after "also in other writings Oriana Fallaci had propagated hate against Islam and Muslims, distorting real historical facts and inventing others, lying, offending, and defaming Muslims around the world. For the rest, ever since "Anger and Pride" the writer has injured Islam and Muslims, writing expressions such as 'fucking sons of Allah'," said Smith. The Bergamo Prosecution is taking on the trial, since the book was published in the city, and now has ten days to come up with a charge. The preliminary hearing judge will set the trial date. Matteo Nicoli of Verona will represent Adel Smith.
The very idea that in this century someone can be tried for defaming a religion is absurd. The mullahs in Iran, the Wahhabists in Saudi, Hamas, al Qaeda, etc. defame Islam every day.
Here is another instance where (certain) Muslims fail to acknowledge the truth and instead hide behind a media and governmental apparatus that enables the further deprivation of millions.
When The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was broadcast throughout the Middle East, I didn't hear of many people filing law suits.
Oh, but wait, that's probably because Jews aren't aren't allowed to have rights in the Middle East.
