This was good news for all you freedom of speech lovers but really crappy news for all you opponents of basic human rights.

If you don't remember or haven't seen the two videos "How is Islam Not Already Controlling the USA Parts 1 and 2" then might I suggest you have a quick peek at them before continuing with this one?

On the choice of Gibson Square Natasha Kern, Sherry Jones's agent says, 'In selecting a publisher we wanted a house that would commit to this novel and to Sherry's further career, as well as an editor and publisher who are passionate about bringing The Jewel of Medina to widest possible group of readers. We wanted to publish this book as quickly as possible so that all those who are interested can read the book and discover what a wonderful and inspiring love story Sherry has written. It was crucially important that the publisher would have industry-leading distribution in Britain, which Gibson Square has. And it was also important that it had an excellent track record on handling books in a good way that were provocative and had achieved some degree of controversy beyond the publishing community. We are excited to have found a publisher with exactly this experience and a commitment to partner with their writers to achieve all that is possible for a book.'

mizderli: Holocaust denial is explicitly anti-semitic and racist. The evidence for the holocaust is overwhelming, it is impossible to objectively claim that it never happened, without implying a vast Jewish conspiracy in which mountains of records were fabricated, hundreds of photographs were staged and millions of elderly people were convinced to lie about their youths and get artificially aged number tattoos, despite tattoos being unconditionally forbidden by Jewish scriptures.

[vahollak]

This is what we need to do as the west in whole... put our petty diffrences aside, come togeather for one great common couse, stand up to our governments and say no more islam!!!! god bless both the U.S and the U.K!

[lanahijazi]

You are racial this what your photos and you speech shows, before writing about anything, you should understand the culture of the people you write about,,,

[ilamsayang]

@Lagolop. what sort of logic you have,,? you try to judge something before even you know insdie.? poor..? that's not about religion. if so then many christian country also poor. many budhist or hindu country also poor. i've smile to you good if you are not hatered person but..are you not..? ask your self honsetly..? look aoround you islam spread faster. many chruch cahnge to be mosque. many converter come from intelectual people. are they all stupid..? and you are smarter..?

[Lagolop]

@ilamsayang

You use failed logic. What double standard?

Contrary to what u may think, the last thing I am is full of hatred. Not so much because I am a good person, or even above it; more a case of hate being a waste of my emotion. No, I don't hate anyone including muslims. OTOH, I take exception with islamic ideology. I feel bad for ppl that live a life of misery due to islam, who bear the islamic ball & chain around their ankle.

There is hope; 5 million muslims each year leave the cult :)

[ilamsayang]

@Lagolop are you that human being who has the ability of objective observation. ? speak to your self. you see you do double standard. are you not hatered person..? freedom ..?who put the standard here..? though you think being everything is free is good for you and others not. therefore others wrong..?and pls do not ever think that you are the smartest, the wiser, then 1.5 billion muslim in the world. take my word if islam all about violance i am the one who left it. use your observation.

[Lagolop]

@ilamsayang

A human being with the ability of objective observation. Thing is, islam is a misogynistic fascist ideology where freedom of anything is not permitted. It is a death cult of violence and hatred. No denying that cuz if you do, you have your head buried up your arse.

[ilamsayang]

@Lagolop your word represent what you are..

[Lagolop]

@ilamsayang

No, only muslims get their tits in a knot over this and things like burning their unholy koran ...LOL.

[ilikebeubz]

what a tit , these kinda people and the terrorists are the same

[philthy122]

@vahollak So your 'god' and dogma is better than their 'god' and dogma? You do realise its the same Abrahamic 'god' in christanity, islam and judasim?

[ilamsayang]

what do you mean by freedom of speech..? do you agree if someone make a book Jesus is a son of bitch like Jew claiming. or Budha the stupid..?well i do believe Christian or Budhist will react. so why not we put freedom of speech in respective manner..? rather than insulting which cause hate.
