Many Muslims consider any depiction of Muhammad to be blasphemous.

But other writers and artists have been willing to risk even violent reprisals for the sake of free speech.

Author Sherry Jones has weathered threats for writing "The Jewel of Medina," a novel that depicts sex scenes involving Muhammad and his bride Aisha. Her original publisher, Random House, put the book on an indefinite hold following concerns that its content would be offensive to Muslims.

"I decided to take a stand for free speech and publish my books in spite of threats and violence because I wanted to make a positive difference in the world," said Jones, who will publish a sequel, "The Sword of Medina," in the fall.

Wait until the Arabs see the week old book on Amazon entitled "How Fatima Started Islam".

Super blasphemous and wickedly funny. Did you know that Mohammad was a drunken, child molesting, pimp who owned Mohammad's saloon & brothel? Page after page slams and lampoons orthodox Islam.

They will be spitting camel blood.
