Why the fear? & Jones Statement...

Why the fear?

Perhaps, b/c to the western standard, multiple wives is abhorrent and inter relate with a 6 years old is an act of pedophilia? Would it arise thoughts that Mohammed forced a child to be with him, just perhaps?

I do not understand the point of "arising violence"….This is too vague…

Isn't it a romance to help bridge understanding as Jones stated on Reuters?

Jones Statement...

"…I have deliberately and consciously written respectfully about Islam and Mohammed ... I envisioned that my book would be a bridge-builder," said Jones."…

"…"They did have a great love story," Jones said of Mohammed and A'isha, who is often referred to as Mohammed's favorite wife. "He died with his head on her breast.""...

*********************************

I think, the publisher should be more specific- for the refusal….

So basically, by the end of the day, publishers have no problem publishing anything that touches any other religion, because others would never explode them, unlike muslims….

By the end of the day, leftists and rightists know the truth….
