Random House pulls novel on Islam, fears violence

reuters.com — Random House has pulled a novel called "The Jewel of Medina," about the Prophet Mohammed's child bride. This is why there is terrorism. This is why terror works. Because publishers like Random House reward terrorism in advance, even without any actual threat. Spineless cowards. You know, terrorism can't exist if you're not afraid.
