NEW YORK (Reuters) - 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.
Random House deputy publisher Thomas Perry said in a statement the company received "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."
"In this instance we decided, after much deliberation, 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," Perry said.
Jones, who has just completed a sequel to the novel examining her heroine's later life, is free to sell her book to other publishers, Perry said.
The decision has sparked controversy on Internet blogs and in academic circles। Some compared the controversy to previous cases where portrayals of Islam were met with violence.
Fawsi Muhammed Ali comments: As I have lived in this Christian cesspool of infidels since arriving here illegally, I must keep a careful watch over my stomach so that I don't erupt in vomiting when I look around me.
How could Random House even consider publishing this blasphemy against Mohammed, may his soul bless and keep us.
I view this victory as another in the long line of easy conquests over soft and decadent Americans. You just have to snarl into their faces and they cringe in fear like women.
I would truly live this place of corruption and sinfulness if they would only transfer my welfare checks to a Bin Laden camp in Pakistan, but for some reason, they refuse to do this.
I will continue studying the Koran and taking weekend lessons in ambushes and bomb making to prepare me for the day we rise up and take over the United States.
We will give fair treatment to members of the American Secret Society of Illegals, so that I encourage all undocuments to sign up.
I would darely love to martyr myself as so many of my Muslim brothers and sisters have done in Iraq and Afghanistan, but unfortunately, I have become a fan of the New York Giants football team and have to stick around and see whether they can repeat as Superbowl champs.
Otherwise, my brothers, I would be there right beside you putting on a suicide vest। But you guys, keep going and blow yourself up for Islam! I envy you your 72 Virgins. I will be joining you one day!

I agree that this is an outrage ... but also very, very funny. I'm going to send this blog around to my friends and encourage everyone who comes across to do so as well.
The basic point of this satire is right:
The illegals, in effect, are laughing at how easy it is to take advantage of us.
