A short interview with Oriana Fallaci in this weekend’s New York Times Magazine: Unquiet on the Western Front. (Hat tip: Bala Ambati.)

Your post-Sept. 11 sermon, ”The Rage and the Pride,” about the threat from Islamic fundamentalism, is full of anger.

Very. I was bleeding when I wrote. It is an unrestrainable cry, during which I said the truth that I had never said before.

After the stir it has caused around the world, are there parts you wish you had said in a gentler fashion?

Not a word. When I read it again for a translation, I say I was too tender. There is nothing that I would withdraw.
