Meanwhile, Offices Of Da Vinci Code Publisher Remain Cool To Touch

More pavilions at Folkfest!

Police arrested three men on Saturday in connection with a fire at the offices of the publisher of a book about the Prophet Mohammed and his child bride.
The men, aged 22, 30 and 40, were arrested in north London under anti-terrorism legislation after the fire on Saturday morning at Gibson Square’s offices. Police were also searching four addresses in east London.
Britain’s domestic Press Association news agency said some residents, whom it did not identify, reported that the incident may have involved a petrol bomb being pushed through the firm’s letterbox.
Gibson Square is responsible for the publication of “The Jewel of Medina” — a fictional account of the Prophet’s relationship with his youngest bride Aisha — by American author Sherry Jones.

A member of the Broad Strata community clarifies;

But the radical cleric Anjem Choudhary, who lives in Ilford, east London, said he was “not surprised at all” by the attack and warned of possible further reprisals over the book
“It is clearly stipulated in Muslim law that any kind of attack on his honour carries the death penalty,” he said.
“People should be aware of the consequences they might face when producing material like this. They should know the depth of feeling it might provoke.” […] “If the publication goes ahead then I think, inevitably, there will be more attacks like this – this is the thin of the wedge,” he said.

  1. “But the radical cleric Anjem Choudhary said the book was an insult to the Prophet Mohammed’s honour, something he said would warrant a “death penalty” under Sharia law.”
    Well, now that Britain has adopted sharia law, I suppose they best carry out the death penalty. And as the ‘British’ cleric confirms, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a Muslim or not, the penalty is the same.

  2. “was recently dropped from publication in the United States by the publishers Random House”
    Perhaps it’s best not to get too insulting about England and sharia law. Pathetic, yes, but apparently in the U.S. the same thing can be accomplished without firing a shot, or throwing a firebomb. Islamists – supported by academics – just had to hint about violence and random house caved.

    Inquiring minds want to know, does he mean death by Boola Boola?

  4. The thin edge of the wedge entered the door decades ago with Britain’s multicultural and PC codes. THAT was the thin edge.
    What we are seeing now are the hordes of Islam pressing against the gates and a few slipping through. And the few brave souls raising a cry and trying hold the gates are being called racist and xenophobic, even though a popular Imam living in London says people deserve to die for writing anything that might possibly be seen as disparaging Muhammed.
    Enoch Powell’s “rivers of blood” speech should be standard reading for every student in Britain and played over national radio and television right after “God Save the Queen”.
