Followup on Fallaci...

Here's what writer Salman Rushdie said recently (courtesy of J. Schwarz):

"The Bush camp's interest in "evil" and "evildoers" needs no further emphasis. But the Bushies are finding support in some strange quarters. To take just one example, the crazy rage of the writer Oriana Fallaci, directed without discrimination against every Muslim in the world -- "every Muslim, without exception, is a fundamentalist"; "they multiply like protozoa to infinity" -- is one example of what one might call the New Evilism that is busily painting the world in black and white."



And this from a man who spent a decent portion of his adult life under a fatwa. Makes you think.
