Anticipatory Obedience

(Berlin, Germany) About all that free speech and artistic license stuff, well, it's dead.

A German publishing company has pulled out from a novel based on ‘Islamic honour killings’ in order to avoid any violent protests from the Muslim community.

The publisher said that he withdrew from the book, which was to be titled ‘To Whom Honour is Due,’ after an Islamic expert warned him that some of the passages could put his life in danger.

According to one author, Nonie Darwish, Western governments are to blame since citizens are not being protected from assaults by Islamic extremists.
