Serbia has withdrawn the American writer Sherry Jones's novel from bookstores following protests by the country's Muslim Community.
Belgrade's Beobuk publisher withdrew The Jewel of Medina and confirmed that the book would not be available 'in a single bookstore in the country', B92 reported.
Beobuk's director, Aleksandar Jasic apologized 'for the offense suffered', saying that his company 'had no intention of insulting anyone'.
American publisher Random House also withdrew Jones's book from the US market last month following protests from Muslims.
