No information was present here that was not already in The Jewel of Medina, so the merge resulted in nothing being added to the latter page. In fact, part of this page was (!) a partial copy gasp of the latter article! --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 04:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

This is a breaking news story. It was publised only a few hours ago in this morning's Wall Street Journal. It is about an important free speech issue. I suggest that befoe deleting, we wait though a few news cycles to see how the story plays. If it comes to nothing, it can be deleted then.BatYisrael (talk) 15:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)BatYisrael

 * Maybe sometimes, but when Random House cancels a book for reasons like this, it's a story of enduring interest. Plus, even if you do not care about freedom of the press, you may want to consider that this was reportedly a book sympathetic to Aisha and Islam.  some Muslims don't want any kind of fiction published about the prophet.  But we have fictoin about Jesus, Abraham and Moses - why not th eProphet?BatYisrael (talk) 17:14, 6 August 2008 (UTC)BatYisrael
