Imagine that Jesus had raised armies, raided caravans, beheaded hostages, ordered the murders of poets whose verses displeased him, and engaged in what we would today term statutory rape. Christianity would be a far different religion than the one that has come down to us, and the Imitation of Christ would be a far different enterprise. One dares even to say that, under this imaginary scenario, Osama bin Laden would be more Christlike than Mother Theresa.

If you change the name Christ to Mohammed, however, the scenario is no longer imaginary. Which is why we find it so distburbing that the Council on American Islamic Relations has successfully intimidated National Review's book service into removing The Life and Religion of Mohammed from its inventory. (The book now available at the Human Events book service.)

CAIR was angered by the ad's assertions that Mohammed's llife was "marked by innumerable marriages; and great licentiousness, deeds of rapine, warfare, conquests, unmerciful butcheries...."
