If Jones really wanted to offend Muslims, she could have made her novel a negative portrayal of Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha and a denunciation of the devastating effects child marriage has had upon untold numbers of girls in the Islamic world ever since. That would certainly have brought her opprobrium and threats, but she would have had the satisfaction of knowing that she was standing up for the dignity of the human person. As it is, her book does indeed seem to be as Spellberg describes it: a “very ugly, stupid piece of work.”
That being the case, however, since when has Random House or any American publisher refrained from publishing a book because it was ugly and stupid? When has any American publisher passed up a book because they thought it cheapened Jewish or Christian sacred history? Put down your copy of The Da Vinci Code and ponder that one for a minute.

“very ugly, stupid piece of work…. You can’t play with a sacred history and turn it into soft core pornography.”
Someone should ask her if she holds the same opinion of “The Last Temptation of Christ”.
I hear from Muslim women constantly...how they
“have to” cover up.
When asked shy they hesitate momentarily and mumble things either about the men...or about the koran.
They either show signs of brainwashing or outright fear.
And this is right here in the US where we continue to import the muslims.
Your name has to be Kitty Kelly in order to get trash published.
Well then how do you explain Hillary Clinton’s book?
And Nancy Pelosi’s book?
I have no problems if these people want to cover up...but when they make it law for everyone else...and kill you if you don’t obey...
Kelly has had more trash published than they have. ;)
If you really want to offend Muslims...REWRITE THE DAMN KORAN!!! Oh, wait a minute. That’s been done. Now if I could only find a publisher with some guts....
I wonder how much civil rights legislation the Dems would have finally voted for in the 60's if it wasn't for the inner city riots.
I wonder how far left the Dems would be if it wasn't for the war protests in the 60's.
Notice how they now want to buckle before the Muslims.
Well now THAT’S definitley true!
Hooray Robert Spencer!

The muslims are gaining ground bigtime.
Have you been through airport security lately and noticed security personnel in muslim garb viewing the X-ray screening of bags? Went through 2 weeks ago where a muslim women with her head wrapped was the one running the X-ray viewing screen. What a great way for the mass murderers to slip through without being flagged for bomb material in their carry-on luggage. Go figure.
Perfect PC. Not surprising in a country where a presidential candidate endorsed by our avowed enemies leads the race.
Child marriage existed long before muzzies were invented.
