To be honest I am not sure what I just read.

One thing though: there´s a scene where soldiers are smahing a figure of Our Lady. They are most likely Muslims. Somehow I haven´t seen any outcry about this in media since the book has been published. BUT IF there was a scene where a catholic charakter was destroying a Koran and an author was catholic - then we would have seen a huge outrage all over the world (remember Charlie Hebdo).
