It seems sensationalism is the new norm and looking for or creating trouble brings viewers/readers. It creates a 'buzz'. We should let the story speak for itself. Thank you.

When writing about politics or religion I'm sure some authors would feel the need to explain themselves up front instead of reacting to critics. I think those of us in the West might view this story very differently from people who live in the East. I don't think I'd enjoy having to defend my work and be on the defensive. Stating reasons up front gives readers the opportunity to understand where you're coming from before starting the story. I believe you’re right.

I'd say pick it up and enjoy. I’ve finished the book and nothing in it set off any warning bells with me. I’d say pick it up and enjoy.

I know that there has been some 'talk' so I wanted to let readers know how those possible controversial were or weren't affecting my reading of this story. That I wasn't finding controversy and there is no need to shy away from this book. Thank you.

Brilliant! I loved this post - and I'm putting this book on my TBR list. “It’s become the nature of society today to stir up trouble merely because we are able to do so.” Brilliant!

I'm assuming the author did that post anticipating a lot of public outrage over his book. Trying to head off the arguments or explain things before opinions got out of hand. Is it wishful thinking to say people in general are not that upset over a semi-fictional story? It may be that the Muslim community hasn't read the book yet. Or they may feel the story was told appropriately. You can't please everyone, but maybe some people are. I think Monique’s comment says it all.

I really enjoyed it. I loved how you touched on those points and introduced you feeling and how that affected (or did affect) your enjoyment of the book.
