Controversial book about Mohammed and child bride to be published
The Telegraph ^ | 9-4-08 | Tom Peterkin

Gibson Square, known for having sold other controversial books, such as Alexander Litvinenko's "Blowing Up Russia", said it was "imperative" that "The Jewel of Medina" by American author Sherry Jones be available to the public.

Random House Publishing Group, which is owned by German media company Bertelsmann AG, has admitted pulling the novel about Mohammed and his wife Aisha.

The book was supposed to have been published last month, but the company said at the time that "credible and unrelated sources" had warned that the book "could incite acts of violence."

Washington-based Ms Jones criticised the initial decision not to publish her work, denying that it will cause unrest.

So what if there are threats... Doesn't the general public pay taxes for the protection from heathen thugs?

Only the looney left weanies fall on the ground and play dead.

Why in a free country can we not speak (write) freely?

Zealotry and weenieism (you know what I mean).

Let us be free and act as such.

"To claim that Muslims will answer my book with violence is pure nonsense," she told Germany's Leipziger Volkszeitung newspaper. "Anyone who reads the book will see that it honours the prophet and his favourite wife."

This statement is pretty nonsensical itself. Muslims are extremely sensitive about their prophet, and violence is, for them, a natural reaction.

And more importantly...Mohammed married Aisha when she was six and began sexual relations three years later. "The prophet and his favorite wife" were the pedophile and his victim. What sort of book - what sort of person - honors that?

“..had warned that the book “could incite acts of violence.”

Does this mean that society has to fear anyone with a gripe? Haven’t we already had acts of violence perpetrated by the ROP without publishing literature that they deem offensive?

Up to now the West has either grabbed its ankles or put on kneepads when dealing with Islam. I do hope this will change with a McCain/Palin administration because with the Obiden twins you can’t predict how low we will sink in appeasing these monsters.

Pardon the double post, but I just noticed something in that photo.

Islamic Rage Boy seems to be surrounded entirely by Muslim WOMEN!

I thought all Muslim rage demonstrations consisted exclusively of angry womenless young Islamic men.

Wait a second.... maybe IRB is not what he seems. Maybe he’s... major Islamic STUD...?

Well, then.
There is hope that Alms for Jihad might be published?

That book was destroyed after it was printed due to pressure from the maggots backed by millions from saudi Arabia.

The trail of dirty money from the rich muslim countries to the world-wide terrorist network...
