Selling Books By Offending Already Oversensitive Muslims

"Here we go again," is all I can say. Regardless of whatever rationale the author of the upcoming "novel" "Jewel of Medina" may have for writing a book about the wife of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), it will turn out to be exactly what various people want.

Some will cherish the opportunity to see how already oversensitive, and ready to blow things up for any excuse, Muslims will take offense. Others will love the opportunity to sell more books, that would otherwise not sell. Some Republicans will surely find a way to hold Bill Clinton responsible, and blame Barack Obama just for having a Muslim sounding name. Democrats will do their bit of hand-wringing about censorship not being in anyone's interest.

In the meantime, this opinion still remains valid.

Opinions welcome.
