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". 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.
