Oriana Fallaci (born 24th July
1929 in
Florence) is an
Italian journalist and
author, who travelled much in
Vietnam,
Pakistan, and
South America. Recently she received much public attention for her open critique of contemporary
Islam, which she said is trying to destroy the West, and that
Islamists might succeed at subjugating the West and recreating it in their Islamic image. She criticizes intellectuals, especially
Europeans, who ignore deep Islamist hatred of the West's intellectual traditions.
