It's a Crime to Harshly Criticize Islam in Italy:

Leading Italian journalist and author Oriana Fallaci has discovered this -- she's being prosecuted for allegedly libeling Islam. Quite a remarkable story; see the summary and context, the offending passages, and the relevant Italian penal code provisions.

I liked Chris Newman's characterization of this as "the 18 things you can't say about Muslims in Italy." I also liked InstaPundit's take: "Tom Wolfe once said that Fascism is forever descending on the United States, but that somehow it always lands on Europe. Perhaps the same is true with theocracy?"
