Author Decides To Delay Release of Book on Prophet Muhammed’s Wife, Apparently Because of Violence

Sherry Jones, the author of a forthcoming biography of Aisha, a bride of the Prophet Muhammed, says she, and apparently her publisher, will delay British release of the book, titled “The Jewel of Medina.” The AP is reporting that her British publisher’s offices were firebombed. The original US publisher of the book decided not to release it, but another publisher has made it available here in the US. Here’s more from the CBC.
