Muslims continue on in their idolatry of the prophet Mohammed.
The story of Ayisha must not be written, because it mentions Mohammed.
Do Muslims worship Mohammed? I thought they were "Monotheists" who only worship Allah?

You Are Not Permitted To Write About Mohammed
Muslims continue on in their idolatry of the prophet Mohammed.
The story of Ayisha must not be written, because it mentions Mohammed.
Do Muslims worship Mohammed? I thought they were "Monotheists" who only worship Allah?
From Astute Bloggers:
"Starting in 2002, Spokane, Wash., journalist Sherry Jones toiled weekends
on a racy historical novel about Aisha, the young wife of the prophet Muhammad.
Ms. Jones learned Arabic, studied scholarly works about Aisha's life, and came
to admire her protagonist as a woman of courage.
When Random House bought her novel last year in a $100,000, two-book deal,
she was ecstatic. This past spring, she began plans for an eight-city book tour
after the Aug. 12 publication date of "The Jewel of Medina" -- a tale of lust,
love and intrigue in the prophet's harem.
It's not going to happen: In May, Random House abruptly called off
publication of the book. The series of events that torpedoed this novel are a
window into how quickly fear stunts intelligent discourse about the Muslim
world.
Random House feared the book would become a new "Satanic Verses," the
Salman Rushdie novel of 1988 that led to death threats, riots and the murder of
the book's Japanese translator, among other horrors.
In an interview about Ms. Jones's novel, Thomas Perry, deputy publisher at
Random House Publishing Group, said that it "disturbs us that we feel we cannot
publish it right now." He said that after sending out advance copies of the
novel, the company received "from credible and unrelated sources, cautionary
advice not only that the publication of this book might be offensive to some in
the Muslim community, but also that it could incite acts of violence by a small,
radical segment."
After consulting security experts and Islam scholars, Mr. Perry said the
company decided "to postpone publication for the safety of the author, employees
of Random House, booksellers and anyone else who would be involved in
distribution and sale of the novel."
