Random House scraps publication of novel on Prophet Mohammed's child bride By Catherine Elsworth
Publishing giant Random House has scrapped publication of a novel about the Prophet Mohammed's child bride amid fears of a repeat of the violence ignited by portrayals of Islam in The Satanic Verses and 2006 Danish cartoons.
The Jewel of Medina, a debut historical novel by Sherry Jones, a journalist who spent years studying Arab history, focuses on the life of A'isha, one of the prophet's wives to whome he is said to have become engaged when she was six.
