Sharia in Swedish publishing

Today the Swedish publisher Liber has revoked the schoolbok "Religion" since it contains Persian and Arabic illustrations of the profet Muhammed (see newspaper Dagens Nyheter).

Sure, they are free to do what they want with their book, but a publisher with a name that means "freedom" in Latin should have more courage. The protests and attacks on Scandinavian embassies is one thing, but a far more dangerous trend that could set in is self-censorship.
