About this Quote

This quote by Oriana Fallaci is a thought-provoking question that challenges the morality of shooting someone for their actions. It is asking if it is right to shoot somebody for being a prostitute, unfaithful to their partner, or for caring someone of the very same gender. Fallaci is implying that these actions should not be punishable by death, and that shooting someone for these factors is incorrect. This quote is a call to action to challenge the status quo and to defend those who are persecuted for their actions. It is a tip that everyone need to be treated with respect and self-respect, despite their lifestyle options. Fallaci is advocating for a more tolerant and accepting society, one that does not punish people for their beliefs or actions.
