719 ہے ان کے حملوں کا جواب کوئی نہیں کتاب ضبط کر کے جواب دے رہے ہیں لیکن جو میں نے تدبیر کی تھی وہ ایسی کارگہ نکلی کہ ہماری کتاب ابھی چھپی نہیں اور کتاب کو چھاپنے والی فرم کا معافی نامہ پہلے آ گیا ہے اور وہ یہ ہے:۔Henry and Danna Thomas C/O Hanover House Publishers, 575 Madison Avenue New York, N۔Y۔December 6, 1956۔We have just received your letter from our publishers۔With regard to the statements made about the Prophet Mohammed in the living Biographies of Religious leaders, We were terribly Shocked and saddened that there have been misunderstanding of our attitude and feeling about Mohammed۔We have always believed that the teachings of the Prophet are one of the world's basic manifestation of democracy and that the tenets of the Muslim Faith are a direct Progenitor of the philosophy of Abraham Lincoln۔Despite the fact that the book was written fifteen years ago under the direction of a book editor who conceived of the project as a humanized, romanticized approach to biography for a westernized audiance we have not had the slightest intention of decracting from the philosophical stature of Mohammad and that is why we have been so distressed over any misunderstanding that might have arisen۔We wish you God speed on your new work on the Prophet Mohammad and if you mention our book would you please convey to your readers how saddened we have been over any adverse reaction and would you convey that we are the last people in the world who are critical of the very great contributions of the Muslim Faith۔Sincerely (Signed) Henry and Danna Thomas
