The BBC is reporting that two men have been taken into custody after setting a fire at a publishing house in Lonsdale Square, Islington. The only publisher I can find at that address is Gibson Square, which has recently taken on the novel The Jewel Of Medina.
This book tells the story of Mohammed's relationship with his nine-year-old bride Aisha (a historical fact that allows a certain kind of person to make provocative comments about 'the paedophile Mohammed') and was dropped by Random House after an academic warned that it might expose them to attacks by angry Muslims.
The BBC is not yet making these connections but it is fairly easy to put two and two together.
