3 held in Britain as 'blasphemous' book publisher set ablaze

2008-09-28

British police arrested three men on Saturday in connection with a fire at the offices of the publisher of a blasphemous book. The men, aged 22, 30 and 40, were arrested in north London under anti-terrorism legislation after the fire on Saturday morning at Gibson Square's offices. Police were also searching four addresses in east London. Britain's domestic Press Association news agency said some residents, whom it did not identify, reported that the incident may have involved a petrol bomb being pushed through the firm's letterbox. Gibson Square is responsible for the publication of 'The Jewel of Medina' by American author Sherry Jones. Random House announced last month it had cancelled publication of the book in the United States because of fears of violence. 'The Jewel of Medina' was re-released in Serbia earlier this month after being withdrawn in August under pressure from Islamic leaders. Gibson Square could not be immediately contacted for comment on Saturday's fire and subsequent arrests. The firm is known for having published other controversial books such as 'Blowing Up Russia' by former KGB agent turned Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko.

#9 The British can read about this in their own papers, regardless where the esteemed Mr. Pruitt found the information. The BBC is merely television. I went to the DrudgeReport, and down in the left margin they have a listing of various news outlets from around the world. I found articles about this in five of the major English newspapers listed there, including the Guardian, plus AFP and the Press Association, the British version of our AP.

#7 Proof it is too late; a Brit has to rely on a Paki to find out how his country is being subverted by Muzzies. Pathetic.

#6 I didn't see a word of this on the BBC. It's already too late.

#3 The people that do this sh$$ have a serious lack of understanding of Western ways, and the fact that, regardless of what their little muzzie minds think, we don't want to give up those ways. I think it's time for some serious re-education - applied to the face, neck, and upper back with an axehandle at close range. When they start demanding haggis with a Scottish accent, we'll quit pummeling them.

#2 It would be grand if Scotland recreated one of its old prisons carved in live rock, where prisoners were served a bowl of cold oatmeal a day and had all the water they could drink that trickled through the rock, which was also the sewer. No central heating, however.

#1 I saw Jeremy Brett portray Sherlock Holmes on commie TV yesterday. His performance, and those of the other actors, were unparalleled, and portray not a perfect Britain, but one that would is almost unrecognizable.
