Defunct The Rage and the Pride (La Rabbia e l'orgoglio) is a book released by Oriana Fallaci in 2001.

The book accuses the West of being blind to the true threat of Islam, and was written in New York City in the weeks following the September 11 attacks.

[2] In the book, Fallaci likens Islam to a "mountain which in one thousand and four hundred years has not moved, has not risen from the abyss of its blindness, has not opened its doors to the conquests of civilization, has never wanted to know about freedom and democracy and progress.

[1] Christopher Caldwell described the book in Commentary magazine as "a philippic against Islamist terrorism and the cowardly Western elites who have permitted to blossom in their midst," that "for all her book's flaws, Fallaci is far more often right than wrong," and that "there can be no question that Fallaci is correct to say that some of the most extreme Islamist figures live in the West.

It's hard to disagree with her, for instance, that the statist bureaucracy emerging from Brussels and calling itself the European Union "is not Europe.
