However, the publisher Mahmoud Madbouli has recalled the book, shredding all copies, because it “offends religion.”</blockquote> What, Madbouli didn't read it before publishing it? Right. Looks like the Muslim Mafia made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Where can I get a copy?

Recently, she published a play called God Resigns in the Summit Meeting. However, the publisher Mahmoud Madbouli has recalled the book, shredding all copies, because it “offends religion.”

The rumors about him supporting terrorists turned out to be baseless. Careful about using well known references to George the Usurper. We have to keep coming up with new ones or his evil web watchers will find us and drag us before the Unlidded Eye. Mriana,

Trust me, I've probably said far worse things she did about the Shrub and I'm still in the U.S., but then again, I was born here. Kind of hard to deport someone who is naturally born in a country.

If she has spoken against He Who Would Be King and his holy men they might not let her stay. They also might not want to piss off the Egyptians, with whom they have a fragile alliance.

If she is only here to speak, then that would be very ironic if a bunch of Atheists helped her to stay in here. It would help to break a stupid stereotype.

How sweetly ironic and poetic it would be for atheists to pool their money to sponsor her to come to the U.S. for safety. I'd donate. Who would be the ones to help her?

It would be history repeating itself and I find that religion is more often than not a source of misery, not a source of comfort. I guess that is why I became a Humanist. She said in her speech, which I highly agree with, that religion is a means to control and opression, adding that even George Bush and the Religious Right attempt to do the same thing in this country. Then she said we are going backwards in Human Rights not forward and I have to agree with that too. This woman has been fighting for Human Rights all her life and it would be a shame to see history repeat itself, esp with someone so wonderful as this woman. I was compelled to meet her for some reason after reading a brief exerpt from her story and I'm very glad I did. I have even more reason to help carry the torch against such autrocities. I do hope others will try and help her. Thanks Hemant for posting this. :) Yes, I would hate to see anyone killed over religion.
