Serbia: Book withdrawn for being insult to Muslims
We read:
"The Islamic Community in Serbia said on Monday it was not satisfied with the withdrawal of Sherry Jones' novel, The Jewel of Medina, from the country's bookshops. Referring to the book released by Belgrade publisher Beobuk three weeks ago, the organisation's leader Muamer Zukorlic said it was "offensive to Muslims" and demanded all of the published copies be handed in.
He also called for director Aleksandar Jasic to repent for what he had done. After an initial complaint from the Islamic community, Jasic apologised saying the company "had no intention of insulting Muslims in Serbia" and announced the book would not be available in any bookstore in the country.
But Zukorlic said on Monday that this was not enough. "Jasic needs to sincerely repent because of the incident he caused," Zukorlic said. Zukorlic has already compared The Jewel of Medina with the Mohammed cartoon controversy in Denmark.
The novel is a love story about the life of Aisha, the seventh wife of the Islam prophet Mohammed, and follows her life from her betrothal to the prophet when she was six-years-old. According to the novel, Aisha was Mohammed's favourite wife and he died in her arms.

And so Satan's religion continues to win.
What a dumb-assed way to make post comment. Boy, I miss the old Tongue Tied.
What kind of sicko wants a 6 year old wife anyway. What kind of sick bastards would follow anything he said. Stormewaters
Satan may continue to win battles, but I've read the book. Satan loses the war.
Literature that might put any aspect of Islam in anything but the most divine of lights is de-facto insulting to the Prophet, his "god," or Islam in general.
Free thought is a Western idea, so this reaction by the mullahs is in no way a surprise.
If you let Islam in, you are doomed to it's 6th Century mindset, or a lot of 6th Century violence.
This is Islam - get used to it.
They are not satisfied with the book being pulled from every book store in the entire country....sheesh.... the only thing that will satisfy those people is a good old fashion beheading... freakin' barbarians

Radical Islam relys on the weakness of the west and it's inability to understand, or react to even the clearest threats. They know that we even lack the will to defend ourselves in any meaningful way. This is why they will win!
"Satan may continue to win battles, but I've read the book. Satan loses the war."
As I have said to my pastor, this may be true but it's dam cold comfort to those who suffer under the tannery of Islam till then!
"tannery of Islam" - is that something to do with moroccan leather?
I pray that every Muslims will come to know Jesus Christ as his or her personal Lord and Savior, and therefore be spared from an eternity in Hell.
