Malaysia bans books on Islam by Armstrong and Esposito
The ban was ordered in accordance with the Printing Presses and Publications Act of 1984, which prohibits the reproduction or distribution of materials that disrupt peace and harmony. The banned books - six of which are in Malay, with the rest in English - include works of noted Islam scholars Karen Armstrong and John Esposito. Government bans 18 books on Islam and religion

Esposito's book is banned? He's an apologist for Islam and quite friendly with the Saudi prince.
