Irshad skirts the issue of child brides which is relevant as this still goes on. At least Wafa Sultan addresses how unfair Muslim women and girls are treated.

Irshad, it didn't happen to you so that's okay? No it is not. Shame on you for not speaking the truth.

[biggidy1st]

@courag1 i think u should listen to more of irsad speeches, shes critical of alot more then what she just said here

[chrismoss8]

i think you guys are really REALLY confused. this guest, IRSHAD, is not the author of this particular book. the author is named Sherry Jones. a fictional book based on people from the Qu'ran. the point of this news piece is the discussion of censorship. I think FOX news wanted to confuse people about who the actual author is.... i am sure they were happy to have people assume Irshad was.

[Jeremiah5063]

now i want to read the book

[qizzak]

i dont think she is real muslim, puppet.

she is not faithfull nor religious.if u r a muslim where is ur hijab?

[MsDANAAL]

@qizzak

will c,,

[mwngw1111]

Too bad Mohammed is a false prophet. A false prophet is someone who claims God told him something specific, when in fact it never happened. Mohammed's cave experience with God never happened. Facts are facts.

[mmmbeachlover]

Yea, it's 'non-muslims' love...just look at the comments that this has attracted from Muslims.

Antiquated ideals, outdated perspectives...and, in their violent methods and threats in repsonse, their primitive mentality is exposed.

[DruggyP]

she's a lesbian? yeah right. I know I could hit that.

[Alecal89]

We must stand for freedom of expression

[samgee2007]

we are ready to behead the publisher if the book is published! we are ready to die for islam!allah hu akhbar!..islam rule the world! now...........

[byteresistor]

Another representive of the religion of peace right there.

Your channel says you're 56 yet you act like a whining little brat. You are ready to die for Islam? Well come on then. What are you waiting for? You can personally come and try to shove your ideology down my throat, let's see what happens mr. toughguy.

[MsDANAAL]

@smogga09

((first of all shame on u,,2nd we dont worship mohammad u Ignorant))dont try to b smart,,,

[ufapaki]

retard ..

[serappia]

'That could be offensing to muslims and incite violence'

why do muslim always have to resort to violence?

[zenicaone]

1. this girl calles herself muslim and not having a hijab (an order not from me or from other muslims but from Allah) and she is saying that she is speaking in muslims name - how ... i dont want to use hard words

2. Laura Ingram is saying something like "how come we didnt censor the davinchi code" . you can not compare christians and muslims in that way . if you do not respect your sacred things , names , dates etc does that mean i should also dissrespect mine . how......

peace be upon you all

[Alecal89]

Freedom of expression comes first, if you dont like thats your problem, nobody is forcing you to read the book. Your religion is not above another, muslims must accept that if they want to live peacefully with the rest of the world.

[zenicaone]

I am not forbiding anyone to speak , I am simply commenting based on my freedom of speach. And I believe that my religion is not "above" other religion but - The only true Path - based on my exploring and studying all major religions, just as any good christian or jew or .. believes that his religion is the only true one. I see nothing offending in that as long as I do not insult other people by saying lies .

peace be upon you :)

How is that a hate speech?

There is no hate speech?

[burntflybog]

four stars, not five, only because Laura Ingraham makes me vomit just a little.

[trinitymike]

That's the "peaceful religion" for you...

Death to islam....AllahuFukyu

[justout75]

Illegal? NOT IN AMERICA BUDDY! free speech is here to stay. fuck islam and fuck you.your infringing on MY rights and those who want to express their opinions.

[forzaitalia2]

good for you Irshad Manji and shame on the non mislims for being afraid to publish somthing

[RestiveBob]

Mohamed was a disgusting pedophile pervert rapist murderer and terrorist. His favorite hobby was sucking hog cock when he wasn't letting the Israelis use his ass for a dick spittoon. His breath smelled just like the loser's laundry hamper at the Super Bowl, and he spent so much time lifting shirts at the local daycare that the Islamic Guinness Book listed him as the founder of child rape. His mother spreads easier than butter and faster than radiation, and his sister gets $4 a BJ for the Marines

[Morphology2006]

Go Irshad Manji! As an aetheist with a Middle Eastern background (but also someone who respects any religious people who respect others with different views) I think she stands as a beacon of hope for the Muslim world. The answer to the end of Islamic Extremism is discussion, pluralism, and the end of fear for all those who wish to dissent with the establishment.

[DoctorZakirNaik]

DR. KHUSHWANT SINGH (PROFESSOR)

The most successful lecherous man who used religion for his personal gain is Prophet Mohammed. Islam is a cult with its complete irrational belief in Allah created by Muhammed who was a liar, thief, murderer and rapist till his last breath.

[malangi32]

we the muslims should not be afraid of free speach and expression. it will help us to clear our doubts

[abuqital]

they think they can insult ISLAM AND WE MUSLIMZ WILL STAY QUITE WE LUV ISLAM,ALLAH AND THE PROPHET MORE THEN OUR OWN LIVES!!!!!! NOW THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!

[bolerooz]

I refuse to submit to Islam. Long live Freedom of speech!

[SexciiAsad]

im thinkin about puttin ma thick dick in laura inghrams nice mouth

[dragon7009]

5 stars, I have orderd this book!

[IamAhmadiMuslim]

i did not know your dad name is also muhammad and he is a bastard. i guess that is why you also came as a bastard. just wondering if your mother's the same? who knows? anything can be expected from a bastard.

[mutiaraplastik]

I'm sooo gonna buy this book!

[DoctorZakirNaik]

Denise Spellberg is professor of islamic studies at university of Texas-Austin,

I would feel more qualified if I had a diploma in goat-fucking, (same thing really).

Apparently, you get a degree in islamic studies, if you can scream 'allahuakbar' - continuously for 5 min.

You get a doctorate in same,- if you can jump up and down at the same time...

Denise Spellberg had no problem with 'Jesus of Montreal'

Sacred history ??

someone should write the awful truth about the bastard muhammad

[charlesdarwin123]

you aare a fukn bastaaaard

[englishwoman1234]

The book, as described by Islamic Studies expert Professor Denise Spellberg from the University of Texas-Austin, is a very ugly, stupid piece of work. She says, I don't have a problem with historical fiction. I do have a problem with the deliberate misinterpretation of history. You can't play with a sacred history and turn it into soft core pornography."

[islamiscrap]

here is what the hadith has to say about Mohammad and his bride. Every time it is brought up Muslims get all pissy about it

Sahih Bukhari, Book 62:

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64: Narrated 'Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).

[fool1shmortal]

I don't think this was 4 free expression. I think it was money 4 soft-core porn&the $ that would come in.

"What's Wrong w/ Islam" is just 1's opinion stated w/o any hate--wit,not soiling what's sacred2another, ok. The "Da Vinci Code"&"Hitler's Pope" R not that&meant to hurt&are thus, abuses of 1's rights. Lib. say Xians beat them over the head w/ their Bibles (I think that's a minority); is it better to hit religious w/ your rights? I doubt the prof. fire-bombed the publisher&made threats.

[compi63]

Why we always have to apologies and be careful not to offend the muslin and we continue offending the Hispanic, Remember there was not Hispanic in the attack of Sep 11

[Naraku111]

the author is a fucking moron

you don't make a book like this

this is pure disrespect

islam sadly has extremests and i would not be suprised if i see this bitch dead in 2 years

[sum1unxpected]

those who want the author of that book to be slain

for writing a historical fiction novel,

they are the morons.

they deserve all the respect they get

for acting like rabid animals.

[Naraku111]

i never said i wanted her to be "slain"

every religion has fundementalists

this could piss off some of islams extremests

(not that i would agree)

dont reply

you clearly dont get my point

i am against islam extremests

while you made it seem like i was supporting it

get a life instead of going on youtube videos and trying to bash on a certain religion

[StoogeWatcher]

I thought Islam was all about respecting women. And that the liberals were talking about equal opportunities for them and such. But I see I, as well as much of the world, was wrong.

[Sibelius92]

It sounds like the extreme-religous have got us well trained. We are now self-censoring in advance of publication. Stop the world, I want to get off!

[zod2000ad]

Any book that helps to enlighten people to the perverted sickness of the islamic religion should not only be published but it should be made freely available to anyone who wants a copy. Muslims are the scum of the Earth and would pull civilisation back to the dark ages if they had the chance.

[msangh2003]

sex and violence sells novels. But the words can used to describe Mohammeds life. i could use a third word starts with p

[2joyshelps]

Professor Denise Spellberg said: "I don't have a problem with historical fiction. I do have a problem with the deliberate misinterpretation of history...."As an expert on Aisha's life, I felt it was my professional responsibility to counter this novel's fallacious representation of a very real woman's life. The author and the press brought me into a process, and I used my scholarly expertise to assess the novel."

[2joyshelps]

"It was in that same professional capacity that I felt it my duty to warn the press of the novel's potential to provoke anger among some Muslims." She also stated that "The combination of sex and violence sells novels. When combined with falsification of the Islamic past, it exploits Americans who know nothing about Aisha or her seventh-century world and counts on stirring up controversy to increase sales."

[nbarrett100]

I'm going to buy it in the name of free speech even if it is not my kind of book.

[mikepiazza]

I heard his child bride was actually a goat! Laura Ingram one of my favorite right-wingers... You get that Sage, you useless cum bag!

[sum1unxpected]

for all the bad stuff people say about fox news; it's the only news channel with the gumption to report stories like this.

[mail062000]

how can it offend muslims if Mohamed really did this???

[nikhilyt]

cause they don't want to be humiliated by the truth

[miri53]

because Aisha was 6 years old when child molester Mohamed had her! He was a Criminal and a sick purveyor.

[sum1unxpected]

actually, she was nine when he had sex with her.

not that it makes a difference.

[Naraku111]

thanks alot

that seems disgusting at this time

but back then it was obviously normal

[sum1unxpected]

child abuse is disgusting;

no matter what time and place in history.

it doesn't matter wich religion condones it.

it still hurts children

Naraku:

"islam sadly has extremests and i would not be suprised if i see this bitch dead in 2 years"

it is those like you, who show two faces,

that make the world dispare.

for those who lie in what they do,

deface the truth beyond repair.

[Naraku111]

?

im two faced?

i just told you that i am against extremests

[sum1unxpected]

Naraku:

"im two faced?

i just told you that i am against extremests"

"the author is a fucking moron"

"i would not be suprised if i see this bitch dead in 2 years"

i believe you are against extremists

when it is convenient for you

[Naraku111]

i am against extremesim

let me teach you something

i am a kurd whom helped the americans get rid of saddam and have faught against al-qaeda linked groups in the past

the entire middle east hates al-qaeda(except for some) for what they have done to islams reputation

extremests will kill her because of this book

many will think this is offensive to islam (the extremests ofcource) and will take action(possibly kill her)

good job smart guy

you deserve a cookie

[sum1unxpected]

no need to deride

*thumbs up*

[StellarMortem]

Irshad is very cute!

Don't think she's straight though..

[elysiumstarz]

I find it absurb that a (non-muslim) publisher would make a decision/judgement that would (apparently) affect muslims - hello, freedom of speech?

[victor190779]

This is why the publication of the muhammed cartoons in Denmark was so bloody important.

As for the book. The Jewel of the medina will be published in Denmark shortly.

This is getting to be annoying; Why do we - five million of us - always have to be the ones who stand up to fascism and cowardice.

[trinitymike]

Yeah, you really stood up to Fascism in WW2..stood up to volunteer as SS; read your history...

[sage0857]

no DivineMoments ... skank whores like laura ingraham will destroy our freedoms

[StoogeWatcher]

You liberals are the skank whores. You're making excuses for radical Islam. That's why you wouldn't publish the Danish cartoons!

[sum1unxpected]

if you want my opinion on islam,

look on my channel

[simpsonsfan02]

lol u want channel views

[sum1unxpected]

yes,

is there something wrong with that?

[cohensam1]

Most People I know prefer to live in their Protected Bubbles and ignore important issues like this

Thanks Irshad

[DivineMoments]

Politically correct non-Muslims will destroy our Freedoms..
