The Ifk of the Jewel of Medina, Part Two

Sherry Jones has, in the past few weeks, conducted a number of interviews to manage the backlash her book has stirred up. She has gone to great lengths to try and paint her book as innocuous, declaring her intentions were good. Jones will have heard of the commonly used phrase ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions’, what matters is the end product not the intended aims. One of the outcomes of this book is the restating of slander against Rasool Allah (salAllahu alaihi wasallam).

Chicago: Bus converts 14 people to Islam. 14 people have accepted Islam while a bus - with a simple sign: "ISLAM" Got Questions? Get Answers! are going around Chicago to inform about Islam.

Toole was thinking about becoming a Muslim for 10 years - but he needed something to "push him along". Mr. Toole, the new Muslim, believes that the simple yet stark advert which merely says "Got Questions? Get Answers" is a brilliant way to draw people's attention.
