Art Moore reports that 'Anti-Islam' books spark fatwa:
To say that Kola Boof is the target of a fatwa sentencing her to death for blaspheming Islam only begins to tell the story of this controversial Sudanese-born author.Smart move - hanging out with Osama leads to desert dirt naps.
Boof, who is now under the protection of U.S. government agents, told WorldNetDaily that her first book about women who live under Islam prompted a phone call from Osama bin Laden, with whom she had become acquainted in Marrakesh, Morocco.
"If I had the time, I would come there and slit your throat myself," she recalls bin Laden saying in February 1998.

Boof insists that she did not want to make public her acquaintance with bin Laden, but was forced to reply to recent claims in the Spanish press by a former roommate, Lourdes Harris, that she had an affair with bin Laden in Marrakesh. That claim was picked up by a "diary" column in the London Guardian on Oct. 24.
The Sudanese writer denies the story, but admits that bin Laden tried to pick up on her at a restaurant and later came to her hotel room.
"I can't deny he was in the room," she said. "He was only there because I was trying to get out of being around him without getting hurt."
