Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing announced the launch of Salaam Reads, the first imprint at a major publisher focused on Muslim characters and stories. The imprint, which takes its name from the Arabic word for "peace," plans to publish books for readers of all ages, including picture books, as well as middle grade and YA titles.
Salaam Reads will reside within the larger Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers imprint, led by publisher Justin Chanda and executive editor Zareen Jaffery, and aims to publish a minimum of nine titles per year for all ages.

Interestingly, I bet this imprint publishes more works than the most Middle East countries combined.

The words for “peace” and “submission” are the same in Arabic.

Its a pop up book. That allows the child to actually cut off the heads of the infidels.

Maybe they can get the DVD rights to the Palestinian children's shows while they're at it.

Sure. In the liberal mind, muzziedum is just a misunderstood, peaceful, kind, tolerant association of poor people who need jobs.
