French Book Covers

Several books about Islam published in France in the last 20 years have unabashedly depicted Mohammed on their covers. None of them caused any uproar or were noticed in the Muslim world at all.


Mahomet: la parole d'Allah, by Anne-Marie Delcambre.





Mahomet, by Salah Stétié.

 



Andrew Bostom's book The Legacy of Jihad is one of the very few English-language books to show Mohammed on the cover. The illustration shows Mohammed (sitting alone, to the right, his face covered) observing the massacre of the Jewish tribe the Banu Qurayzah; from a 19th-century Kashmiri illustration in the British Library (see link for full attribution and a detailed explanation of the historical incident).




Spanish-language edition of Mahoma: La vida del Profeta, by Roger Caratini.





Mahomet, by Maxime Rodinson.




Nouveau Tintin comic book, May 17, 1977 edition.




A different edition of Mahomet, by Anne-Marie Delcambre.
