It would be non-POV to simply quote, say, the most-criticized passage just to let reasonable folks know what kind of islamophobic moron wrote this book. -Arvid Båve

Oh, and I deleted the phrase "according to Fallaci's critics" in the obviously pleonastic sentence "The book has received criticism for being, according to Fallaci's critics, islamophobic." The reader can conclude for herself that the criticism comes from her critics, duh! -Arvid Båve

This reads like advertising copy for the book. It is obviously not written from a neutral point of view and contains offensive language (e.g. "yoke of Islam"). GagHalfrunt 23:43, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

its a description of the book , not a pov.--Ghruheg 04:40, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
ok took out the controversial para in question.--Ghruheg 12:31, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Your description of the book expresses an opinion about it instead of describing it in factual terms. It still says "compelling and brutally honest", which is a value judgment, not a statement of fact, and as such contrary to the Neutral Point of View principle. --GagHalfrunt 13:11, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheRageAndThePride.jpg

Image:TheRageAndThePride.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
