Random House is a Coward
Once again American business has submitted to pressure from Muslims.
Here I am talking about the great publishing house, Random House, who cancelled publication of a new novel from Sherry Jones, The Jewel of Medina, a fictionalized story of one of Muhammad's wives. Why? Because it might "incite acts of violence by a small, radical segment" of Islamists.
The book publishing industry is supposed to stand up for freedom of expression. I guess that doesn't apply to freedom of expression involving anything Muslim.
No other religion is granted the ability to censor the written word as is the Muslim religion. I guess that is because no other religion has violently attacked this country for so called religious reasons.
If the USA is ever again to be regarded as "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave" this nonsense must stop.
