er....if the state prosecutors have dismissed accusations how can the judge go ahead?
state: 'we're not pursuing the case, it's crap'
judge: 'yes you are'
state: wtf?
however there's a few worrying things here, to quote from the article:

"In Europe we are seeing the birth of a movement that is looking to silence those who don't follow a single mindset, within which it is forbidden to speak ill of Islam, of homosexuals or of the children of homosexuals," Castelli was quoted as saying in an interview with Radio Padania.

While I think the right to call religions crap is an essential part of freedom of speech I wonder about the mindset of someone that puts 'children of homosexuals' in the same breath.
Also:

Just weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, Fallaci published "La Rabbia e l'Orgoglio" ("The Rage and the Pride"), in which she said the West was superior to Islamic society and complained that Muslim immigrants had "multiplied like rats."

There's a fine line here between 'defaming islam' and out-and-out racism, she seems rather close.
