Pajamas Media Norwegian Publisher Cancels Biography of MuhammedThe Norwegian historian and journalist Halvor Tjønn has written a biography of the founder of Islam, Muhammed. The book was announced by the Oslo publisher Kagge in last years fall catalog. But now the publisher has suddenly pulled out and refuses to provide any explanation of why it no longer wishes to publish the book.
According to the newspaper Aftenposten, Kagge says that it doesnt consider it dangerous to put out such a book, but at the same time it refuses to give a reason for its turnaround:
For his own part, Tjønn thinks that there is little in the book that would cause Muslims to react negatively.
A large number of Muhammed biographies have been published around the world. My book, consisting of 400 text-filled pages, does not include a single illustration, aside from historical maps. The book does not express my personal opinions. Everything is based on historical sources and analyses by some modern Western historians, he says.
Self censorship?
