The Force of Reason
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Force of Reason (Italian: La forza della ragione) is a 2004 book by controversial Italian author Oriana Fallaci. It focuses on criticism of Islam.
In the beginning of the book, Oriana Fallaci alludes to Mastro Cecco, the author of a heretical book who was burnt at the stake during the Inquisition in 1327, on account of his beliefs. She also claims that Europe, like Troy, is "in flames" and, under a Muslim siege, is becoming an "Eurabia" (originally the title of a journal edited by the President of the Association for Franco-Arab Solidarity, Lucien Bitterlein). Fallaci claims that peaceful coexistence with Islamofascism is impossible.
The book is a bestseller in Europe and the subject of controversy over the validity of Fallaci's hypothesis.
