Orianna Falacci made anti Semitic comments before she embraced anti Muslim bigotry

Reader comment on item: Qaddafi's Empty Boast

Submitted by Halevy (United Kingdom), May 2, 2011 at 08:05

Orianna Falacci has made anti semitic remarks. Before the threat of Islamic terrorism, she used to consider Jews to be uppity. Later, since she is in Europe, she considred the uppity Muslims a bigger threat, nevertheless, the bigotry against both is evident. She later toned down her anti jewish rhetoric to get support i presume, but people especially Jews shouldn't forget her words:

they came to control the media to that point. Why?

Europe becomes more and more a province of Islam, a colony of Islam. And
Italy is an outpost of that province, a stronghold of that colony...In each
of our cities lies a second city: a Muslim city, a city run by the Quran. A
stage in the Islamic expansionism.
a.. The Force of Reason
