Does anyone think this fool has the cojones to write a similar book about Mohammed?

Does anyone think the next book by this kook will be a diary of the teenaged Muhammed?
I dare him.

I would say they have freedom of speech to do this, but then I am reminded of all the speech the left wants to squash - guess their chickens will come home to roost soon enough, ala Larry Burkett's works (God rest his soul).

portraying him as a typically-confused teenager. In the diaries Jesus calls the Virgin Mary a "frigid bitch", and describes his experiences of taking marijuana and LSD and having sex with Mary Magdelene. This is what "typically-confused teenager's" do? No wonder I never fit in with my western peer group.

He said: "From what I have heard of it it sounds very offensive to Christians. Anything which is contrary to the Bible is heretical. If it is contrary to what is taught in the scriptures then it should not be on sale in Yeovil. He said: "From what I have heard about it I would have reservations about it being available in school. Although parts of Shakespeare and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales are rather risque they do have educational purposes.
Ottaker's manager Marcus Bishop defended the sale of the book, saying: "I have not read it, but if we did get any complaints about it I would consider taking it off the shelves.

Hardly much of an article. Convert this to a piece on the war or the economy and this would never see print.
I'm totally against the banning of any book that doesn't hurt anyone ( child pornography and similar things which hurt people not included ).
I'm totally in favor of the bookstores right not to carry this crap, but I haven't read it.
There was a lot of stuff in my school library that doesn't have anything to do with anything, and I don't really like the idea of parents deciding what books they want in there, but then again I don't have any kids and it wasn't so long since I was in highschool. I don't mind my parents telling me what to do, when when my neighbors parents start telling me I can't read or have access to read something because its heretical. I suppose they might feel that since they have to pay taxes for it they should have some say, but then again I don't pay much for taxes yet.
Hmmm....seems like I don't know much about anything . Maybe I should just not comment on anything.
