Srdja Trifkovic eulogizes my late and much-missed friend Oriana Fallaci at [1] Chronicles:

Of course she prompted countless howls of rage from coast to coast and from one side of the Atlantic to another, among the degenerates, cowards, masochists, madmen, and villains. (Christopher Hitchens, who is all of the above, has described Fallaci’s work as “a sort of primer in how not to write about Islam.”) They can relax now, and write mean-spirited obituaries of this “controversial author” who’s been “harshly criticized” for “inciting hatred against Islam.” She will be sorely missed by those of us who know what she knew, and who abhor what she abhorred.

Read it all.

I myself answered those "degenerates, cowards, masochists, madmen, and villains" in the person of Boston Globe writer Cathy Young, who may be none of those things but is certainly a blinkered dhimmi, [2] here, [3] here, and [4] here.

Alas, we will not soon see another like you, Oriana.
