More Fragile Feelings

Seriously, what is it with Muslims? Why can't they just deal with critizism?

ROME -- A judge has ordered best-selling author Oriana Fallaci to face trial on charges of defaming Islam in her recent book "The Strength of Reason," the writer and an attorney in the case said Wednesday.

[...]

Fallaci, who is in her 70s, said she is accused of violating an Italian law that prohibits "outrage to religion."

[...]

"Religious sensitivity must be defended, but at the same time, the individual freedom to express one's own thought must be guaranteed," Castelli said.
Let's keep this sort of nonsense in mind when someone gets around to proposing similar laws here in the US.
