Original: The controversy over ‘Hunting Muhammad’: why judging a book by its cover is dangerous
A debate has erupted around 'Hunting Muhammad', a book whose title alone has drawn criticism from Muslim readers who see it as insulting before reading its contents.

The dispute highlights ongoing sensitivities around depictions of the Prophet Muhammad in publishing.
Why now: The book's provocative title has sparked outrage and debate about whether criticism without reading it is fair.
