More on Jewel of Medina.
The article starts like this:
All happy book publications are alike — the book finally comes out. All unhappy book publications are unhappy in their own ways — except when they involve Islam. Then the story follows a familiar plot.
Yay! I thought. Someone is finally talking about the shoddy research that goes into mass market paperbacks about Islam!
But then I read it, and no, it's chastising territorial academics and those who cower in the face of terrorist threats and Muslims who make such "a fuss" about Muhammad. That familiar plot.
