Rampaging Muslim Mob Watch: "Jewel of Medina" set for US Release Tomorrow.....

Jewelofmedina

The more I read about the author, the more I despise her.....

Ironically, it was Sherry Jones’s hope that her book would contribute to global peace. So far, it has turned out quite to the contrary.

Jones has said in interviews that she began writing “The Jewel of Medina” in 2002 as her own “personal response” to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “As I read – books by western scholars, Islamic scholars, religious clerics, ancient Arabic poetry – what I gained from my reading was an impression of Islam being a religion of, primarily, peace,”she told London’s TimesOnline. Jone also said that “she came to respect Muhammad as a leader who introduced women’s rights centuries before women’s lib.” (by raping a nine-year-old?? -ed.)

It looked for a while as if Jones’s project were moving exactly in the direction that she had hoped. Jones sold her book to Random House and seemed to be cruising smoothly toward a big release in August.

Then Jones sent a copy of the manuscript to academic Denise Spellberg, an associate professor of Islamic history at the University of Texas, hoping that Spellberg would like the book and write a laudatory blurb for use on the jacket. Instead, Spellberg, offended by sexuality in the book (which includes a portrayal of the wedding night of Muhammad and Aisha), labeled it “soft-core pornography” and said it was “more dangerous than The Satanic Verses or the Danish cartoons.”

Spellberg reportedly informed Random House that publication would expose the company and its employees to Islamic terrorism.

Random House grew nervous and dropped the project. In the UK, Martin Rynja, the Dutch-born owner of Gibson Square, a small, independent publishing house in London, took it up – only to have his house north London firebombed last weekend. It’s not yet clear whether or not Gibson Square will go forward with the book.

In New York, however, small publisher Beaufort Books has picked the book up and advanced its release date to tomorrow, Monday, Oct. 6, when 50,000 copies of the book will be made available to the public.

"Instead, Spellberg, offended by sexuality in the book (which includes a portrayal of the wedding night of Muhammad and Aisha), labeled it “soft-core pornography” and said it was “more dangerous than The Satanic Verses or the Danish cartoons.”"

It's not books or cartoons that are dangerous, but the murderous, rioting Muslims who do not like them. It's the latter that should be banned, not the former.

Absolutely BC, it's too bad they didn't feel this way, then we wouldn't be in this mess.

I look forward to the ummmmm fireworks.

The real fireworks will happen if it's released in the United Kaliphate (which looks like it won't happen)

Michael Savage once said, "The most dangerous thing I've ever done is to tell the truth."

muslims are terrified of the truth, as are most people. Like Jack said, "You can't handle the truth!"

When you burst their little comfort zone bubble belief system, they have to confront the fact that they fucked up. Nobody likes to admit they're wrong. It's an ego problem. No one likes to confront it. It is evidence of immaturity and nobody wants to admit they're immature.

There's an old saying, "A man convinced against his will is a man of the same opinion still." This, of course, applies to women too. ATTACHMENT to the ego is far more dangerous than the ego itself.
