Okay, I know this is Newsarama we're dealing with here, but WTF? "Is she on a jihad mission?" Why would you even ASK a question like that, especially right after the book's writer went out of his way to explain that he was specifically avoiding the Evil Muslims cliches? Good on the writer for immediately shutting down that bit of idiocy, but... gah!

Newsarama has since "disappeared" that particular part of the interview, along with (apparently) some of the comments about it. Because nobody on the Internets ever archives this sort of thing.

"Is she on a jihad mission?" WHAT THE HELL.
