Well, y'all may remember a few weeks ago that the book, Alms for Jihad, had been removed from publication. Cambridge University Press cravenly gave in to Khalid bin Mafouz (interesting results on the Google search, huh?) and recalled the book, destroying copies as they returned.
Sadly, libraries and bookstores all over America complied, until only the eBook format was available. Or so I thought.
I got a tip that Franklin.com had the book available for download. Franklin, you may recall, is a very popular manufacturer of pocket dictionaries and thesauruses in an electronic format. It was rather a nice surprise to see that they offered other products!
Well, I went to Franklin.com, and sure enough, the book was available - but only in very specific formats. Customers who wanted to purchase Alms for Jihad had to go to MobiPocket, to download their reader program. After installing the MobiPocket Reader, you could find your product ID and use it as a code at Franklin to activate the download for your book.
Problem was, MobiPocket was down for over a week; I only was able to access it yesterday for the download and install.
So, I just tried to get my copy of Alms for Jihad... But Franklin's download page erred out. Unfortunately, calling the customer service line only gave me the bad news that Franklin.com, too, has pulled the book.
Welcome to Islamofascist censorship, folks.
And BRAVO to all those brave bookstores and librarians and publishers who stood up for what was right and refused to allow it!
.... Oh. Right...
