Better watch my tongue
Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci will face trial on charges that she defamed Islam.
A few years ago, "Fallaci wrote that terrorists had killed 6,000 people over the past 20 years in the name of the Koran and said the Islamic faith 'sows hatred in the place of love and slavery in the place of freedom'."
Hum. I've read that twice and I'm still wondering what, exactly, about that is defamation. It is, after all, true.
Oh, my. Hope I don't now face charges under the Italian justice system.

I would imagine the contentious part is "the Islamic faith sows hatred". Would you take it well if, say, based on the rantings and actions of the small and uncharacteristic minority of Christians who viscerally hate gays (as opposed the larger numebr who just don't like them), someone said "The Christian faith sows hatred"?
