Monday, November 28, 2005Today, the Center for the Study of Popular Culture (CSPC) will be presenting the Annie Taylor Award to renowned Italian journalist and author, Oriana Fallaci. Ms. Fallaci is being honored for her heroism, valor, and lifetime struggle against oppression and fascism. Since 9/11, Fallaci has been a formidable force in the fight against the greatest threat to Western civilization since the Cold War, Islamofascism.
The Annie Taylor Award is given to individuals who have shown exceptional courage against great odds and in the face of great danger. Ms. Fallaci faces constant threats to her life for writing the truth about radical Islam and the global jihad. She is truly one of the few individuals alive today who are deserving of this esteemed award.
Ms. Fallaci will be introduced by Daniel Pipes, founder of the Middle East Forum, Campus Watch and Islamist Watch. Her speech is entitled "The European Apocalypse: Islam and the West." David Horowitz, founder of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, Front Page Magazine, and author of the recent book "Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American West" will speak about Ms. Fallaci's lifetime achievements as well.
