Whilst I believe the above is accurate, you have to take into account that the author of "Londonistan" is none other than Daily Mail bigot Melanie Phillips.

Yes she is, but a few of her claims including this one have been confirmed as fact. On the other hand where would you read of such facts, you don't exactly see the Guardian shouting about it.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
The thing that annoys/puzzles me is that the issue of images of the prophet Mohammed should be an 'internal' matter for Islam, not applied to other faiths/beliefs etc. Some of the Ten Commandments don't apply to everybody, eg 'You shall have no other gods before me'.

I'm guessing that the fuss is caused by extreme Musilms who use it to help their agenda. I guess for this reason they included extra images to stir up hatred.
I also believe the Islamic rule of view of 'Kill of Convert the infidels' adds to the problem, that is that Islam is blinkered and does not tolerate other religions. For this reason they see any negative comments about their religion as a serious attack.
It's in the T&Cs

Or there is the truth.....
Or as the C BBC website puts it
Quote:

The Qur'an describes Christians and Jews as members of the family of Abraham (one of the prophets) and Muslims respect these religions because they believe that they all worship the same God.
