Author Brad Thor on Death Threats From Islamic Extremists

In an interview with audiobooks reviewer Jonathan Lowe, published here at MNN, Brad Thor discusses his latest book (The Last Patriot) and the possibility of death threats against him from Islamic extremists for the book's controversial storyline. The storyline in question involves a true-to-life allegation that the Qur'an is missing a key text, and that radical Islamists will do anything to keep the original, complete manuscript from seeing the light of day. About the possibility of a Salman Rushdie type death threat, Thor states: "I don't relish the idea. Rushdie at one point had a $5 million bounty on his head and supposedly hundreds of Muslim assassins had traveled to London to kill him. Will I change what I have written or somehow recant and beg forgiveness for what is contained within The Last Patriot? Absolutely not. In fact, I find the hypocrisy here fascinating: Islam is a religion of peace and if you say that it isn't, we'll kill you."
