The problem is banning the sale of books because one dislikes them, disagrees with them, because they do not fit into ones veiw of the world of how it is or should be. Censorship enlightens as much as it discusts, you read a book by , for instance, a fundy, it just makes one think that they are barking mad and stay away from them. Books should never be banned by anyone (exept Babs Cartland ones, but thats a personal veiw!)

Guess we have to thank the general increase in religiosity, currently plaguing our society, for its sudden appearance on the radar.

And I'm sure the thing is on sale at mainstream bookshops. Or is it? Maybe it's a 'desecration'. Allah forbid that it should find its way onto the bottom shelf! But expecting a Christian bookshop chain to stock it is a bit like asking the Al-Masjid al-H?ar?m to stock <i>Gay Times</i> and the <i>Pink Paper</i>. Don’t they have the SPCK equivalent?

What poor use of language when talking about countering attitudes to suicide bombers. “This will help people understand the faith and what makes Muslims tick.”
