"I'm telling you that we Italians are not conditions of Americans: mosaic of ethnic and religious groups, hodgepodge of thousands cultures, at the same time open to any invasion and able to reject it. I'm telling you that just because it is defined by many centuries and very precise, our cultural identity cannot withstand a migratory wave composed of people who in one way or another they want to change our way of life. Our values. I'm telling you that there is no place for the muezzin, minarets, for false abstainers, for their fucking middle ages for their fucking chador. And if there were, I would give him not. Why would buttar via Dante Alighieri, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, the Renaissance, Risorgimento, the freedom that we conquered, good or bad our fatherland. It would give him the Italy. And I do not request gift Italy. "

[Oriana Fallaci]

To me, these discourses are afraid. And horror.

They are not capable of expressing words of contempt for another culture differs from mine, nor to share those expressed by someone else.

I earnestly hoped that the idea of Fallaci of writing "the rage and the pride" was a mere marketing operation. I am afraid not.

This book was written in reaction to events of September 11, 2001, which we are all aware, immediately after a monstrous article that praised the crusade anti-Islamic.

With "La rabbia e l'orgoglio" Oriana Fallaci breaks silence lasted ten years. The fact that this happens to coincide with facts so tragic it may be a ploy to stravendere this bad book, but I fear that the writer is really sincere in his hatred in his malevolence in his attack fiercely Islamic culture.

Begins with a preface where Fallaci explains the genesis of text explaining # amid many, too many inasettezze, with a truly open # cobbling because Islamic terrorism does not end with the defeat of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

In the preface to Fallaci calls this a "little book": it's actually a huge book, verbal violence, in which there are shit inside just in enormity. But it is also a scream, which tells the immediacy of horror, anger heartbreaking who cannot do anything to prevent a disaster like that of 11 September. It's a tremendous apology culture and American "lifestyle", dared say that sprawl Rudolph Giuliani is a great Mayor "," workers "anarchistic, New Yorkers are free like the wind"; you justify the Crusades, it says that our cathedrals are "most beautiful" minarets and mosques # thus violating a fundamental precept of art criticism: that I cannot compare two works belonging to different cultural and historical contexts #. He decries the French Revolution, it enhances the sublime beauty #?!?# American skyscrapers # teach someone a bit of history of architecture to Fallaci for mercy #. You make compliments to the Russians because they have invaded Afghanistan. It says that America is a country that we should envy # will be, but I prefer to be Italian, with #. It says that America "redeem the Plebs", it says that we should oppose to Islam with violence always, keep them out of our territories with all weapons that our arsenals contain # and are many: perhaps Oriana not know that Italy is the third arms-producing country in the world #.
