The Council on American-Islamic Relations is crowing tonight about forcing National Review Online to remove advertisements for books critical of Islam:
National Review Removes Books Attacking Prophet Muhammad
Hundreds contact Boeing to urge withdrawal of magazine ads(WASHINGTON, D.C., 3/29/05) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today announced that National Review magazine has apparently removed advertisements for two virulently anti-Muslim books attacking the Prophet Muhammad from its online store. The removal of the promotional materials for “The Life and Religion of Mohammed” and “The Sword of the Prophet” came after hundreds of concerned Muslims contacted the magazine and Boeing Co., one of the magazine’s advertisers, to express their concerns about the slamophobic views in both books. The previous links to each book, which were working as late as this afternoon, state “Record not found for product.”

http://www.nrbookservice…Yesterday, CAIR issued an action alert calling on Muslims and other people of conscience to urge that Boeing withdraw advertising support from National Review because of its promotion of anti-Muslim hate. Boeing representatives say they were “inundated” with faxes, e-mails and calls.

“We would like to thank all those who took the time to contact both National Review and Boeing to defend Islam and the Prophet Muhammad from defamation,” said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad.
