Book Distributor Concedes Freedom of Speech

Publisher Roger Kimball has noted that when he was about to publish "Andy McCarthy's Willful Blindness: Memoir of the Jihad," he received a message from a distributor working in the U.K. and Canada asking if there were "any references to Saudis and terrorist(s) in the book" as that "could potentially create libel lawsuits as it could offend Saudis living in England and this has happened with many other U.S. publications and we do not want to be jeopardized in selling this book."

On the plus side, the publisher did not concede. He published the book.

Setting Precedents

As Robert Spencer put it: "...it's a small accommodation in itself, but it reinforces the precedent that American practices must give way to Muslim ones whenever they clash. Once that precedent is set, it does indeed lead to the Islamization of American society, unless at a certain point non-Muslims are willing to draw the line and say 'Thus far, but no farther. No more accommodation of Muslim demands.' That line will never be drawn, however, as long as Americans continue to fail to see the larger implications and inevitable outcome of these individual incidents."
