Cowardice May Patch Up Messy Muslim–Moonbat Marriage
Cracks have formed in the Muslim–moonbat alliance, but the cowardice of the moonbatty publishing establishment will help patch them up.
Publisher Random House has pulled a novel about the Prophet Mohammed's child bride, fearing it could "incite acts of violence."
"The Jewel of Medina," a debut novel by journalist Sherry Jones, 46, was due to be published on August 12 by Random House, a unit of Bertelsmann AG, and an eight-city publicity tour had been scheduled, Jones told Reuters on Thursday.
The novel traces the life of A'isha from her engagement to Mohammed, when she was six, until the prophet's death. Jones said that she was shocked to learn in May, that publication would be postponed indefinitely.
"I have deliberately and consciously written respectfully about Islam and Mohammed … I envisioned that my book would be a bridge-builder," said Jones.
You don't build bridges to an imperial, totalitarian ideology like Islam. You submit to it, fight it, or get crushed by it. The heroes of free expression at Random House chose option 1, leaving Jones with option 3.
On a tip from The Him.

They will never learn.
"I have decided to be very respectful of my gangrene infection. I'm no longer calling it a disease, but a diverse life form which will be treated with tolerance. I'm hoping this will build a bridge between myself and the infection, and we can learn to embrace our differences and...."
...and it will take that tolerant, "diverse" attitude and use you as the host until it kills you.
Any questions?

Maybe we can resurect the Dr. Seuse political cartoons from WW2. I suggest:
A happy bird sits in a tree while a woodpecker knocks down the forest:
"Ho-hum. By the time he's finnished with that last tree, he'll be quite tired."
A man gives candy to sea monsters:
"Just one more lollypop and then you'll have to go home."

In a way I wish Christianity was this militant. I'm sooooo tired of jerks freely trashing Jews, Christians, and all those truly peaceful religions.
On another thread I suggest she go to Regnery Press. They started the conservative publishing wave. Perhaps it's time they took up this banner too.

Wow. There are so many books that are disrespectful to Christianity (the Davinci Code, anyone?) but somehow it's OK to trash that religion but not ok to trash the religion that actively engages in war against our country.
Sometimes I wonder if the Great Delusion is upon us already.

It also makes it easy to hide the RIOTGUN that you will use to blow the "morality police" away!

They were upset but it was no giantic deal. When the Roman Catholic Church learned of the new novel "Sex with the Virgin Mary" they did not threaten to bomb Amazon.com but they behaved responsibly. The muslins have to learn to act in a civilized manner.
