Cambridge University Press is a BRITISH, (Cambridge, UK) NOT American publisher. The ACLU fought FOR the publication of “Alms for Jihad.”

UK Libel law is really weak, shamefully. They couldn’t contest the lawsuit because it was filed in the UK.

Come on, guys, check your facts before writing your articles.

First of all, I did not bother much with the full content of the book because it is not germane to this report. So, who CARES if it isn’t “exactly” about the sex life of the pedophile Muhammad’s wife Aisha?

And, if you can make “beauty” out of the life of a child raped by an old man, well, more power to you.

Still, the content of the book is immaterial to the point made in this story. The fact that it is being dumped by the publisher over Islamofacist threats IS the point.

So, good luck with the book. Maybe we’ll do another story about the contents of the book at some other time. But this ain’t that report!

I’m sorry, but you have your information wrong.
The book is not about “The sex life of Aisha…”. I’m Sherry Jones’s daughter, and I think that I would know more about the book then the author of this article.
It enrages me, that people would make these assumptions about the book, without even reading it.
When the book does come out, I hope that all of you pessimists out there, realize that the book is a beautiful piece of artwork, about the love that the Prophet of God shared with an amazing young woman.

In regards to religion, mutual toleration in the different professions thereof is what all good and candid minds in all ages have ever practised, and, both by precept and example, inculcated on mankind. And it is now generally agreed among Christians that this spirit of toleration, in the fullest extent consistent with the being of civil society, is the chief characteristical mark of the Church. Insomuch as Mr. Locke has asserted and proved, beyond the possibility of contradiction on any solid ground, that such toleration ought to be extended to all whose doctrines are not subversive of society.

-Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists, Nov. 20, 1772.

Warner Todd Huston,

We should not be tolerating things like this.
