"He wrote about Islam"

Yes, I gathered that from the news story. But what exactly is in the book that would cause a reward for the death of his family? Amazon only talks about its setting--two celebrities get blown up in a jet liner. Okay, but WHAT THE EFFING KERRY HAPPENS?

Basically, that the Koran or the word of Mohamed has been altered. There were three deities, like sisters to God in original texts, putting them on a similar exalted status as God. That particular verse was altered. I have not read the book, I just filtered that throughout various research. There is some other offending verses as well but really not any bombshell to more mainstream Muslims.

They're proving the author of The Satanic Verses right. They're a Cult Of Satan.

The publisher so much feared the wrath of The Religion Of Peace TM so it was published in paperback by a non-marquee house. Go figure.

So there were actually moderates or "typical" believers among those world-wide muslims who were outraged by Rushdie's simple satire? Christianity and Judaism bear the brunt of satire daily with little more than the cluck cluck of their clergymen and the tussle and banter of secular and religious pundits alike. I guess that means that the moderates aren't so moderate, are they?

I dunno, havn't met too many. But then I only got 2,000,000 of them within an hours drive. Perhaps I need a bigger pool to select from?

This is the sumation of the Satanic Verses from another author:
The Satanic Verses

This is a section of it that is a good sumation:

------------

The isnad, or chain of reciters, introducing the Hadith reads: “Ibn Mumayd-Salamah-Muhammad Ibn Ishaq-Yazid bin Ziyad al-Madani-Muhammad bin Ka’b al-Qurazi:” I share this because of what happened to Salman Rushdie. He wrote a novel based upon what these champions of Islam had to say. Muslims went berserk. They had Rushdie’s book banned and panned. They nailed Satanic Verses to crosses and burned it during hostile rioting. The Ayatollah Khomeni, the leader of the Islamic world at the time, put a fatwa on Rushdie, offering his fellow Muslims a million dollars for the writer’s head.

Yet Rushdie had merely exposed Islam’s own Traditions. So why get mad at him? Was Muhammad so perverse and Islam so corrupt that modern clerics have to hide the truth for their doctrine to survive? Apparently, yes.

This is what follows: Tabari VI:108/Ishaq:165 “The Messenger saw his tribe turn on him. He was pained to see them shunning the message he had brought from Allah. So he [abandoned both his message and his god because he] longed for something that would reconcile his tribe to him. With his love for his tribe and his anxiety over this it would have delighted him if the obstacle which had made his task so difficult could be removed [so he could accept their generous offer of power, sex, and money].” The only points of contention, thus obstacles to reconciliation, were: Ka’aba custodianship, the number of gods, and the top god’s identity (Allah or Ar-Rahman).

“So Muhammad debated with himself and fervently desired such an outcome. Then Allah revealed: ‘By the Star when it sets, your comrade does not err, nor is he deceived; nor does he speak out of his own desire. [In truth, he did all three and was about to prove his guilt.] And when he came to the words: ‘Have you thought about Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat,’ Satan, when he was meditating upon it and desiring to bring reconciliation, cast on his tongue, because of his inner longings and what he desired, the words: ‘These are exalted high-flying cranes (goddesses). Verily their intercession is accepted with approval.” Simply stated, Muhammad said, “I accept the Quraysh Bargain.”

But at what cost? The Qur’anic recitals had been filled with assertions that there were no intercessors. And four gods were at least three too many for a monotheistic religion. Muhammad had therefore abandoned the central plank of his mission: “There is no ilah but Allah.” Islam was no longer monotheistic. What’s more, the prophet’s grandiose and Messianic claim of being Allah’s intercessor was pummeled, stoned by a trio of rock idols. And that wasn’t the worst of it. Islam’s lone spokesperson had just aligned himself with Satan.

It’s little wonder the Ayatollah wanted Rushdie’s book burned. It’s little wonder the Qur’an urges Muslims not to pry too deeply into Islam or ask questions. The truth is devastating. The Quraysh Bargain and Satanic Verses confirm that Muhammad was demon possessed and that the Qur’an was “inspired” to advance his personal agenda. These Hadiths prove Islam was a fraud, as counterfeit as a $3 bill. What’s more, the Profitable Prophet Plan has been elevated from highly probable to undeniable.

---------------

The Satanic verses is out of their own "holy" books that mentions when Mohammad decided to worship 4 gods for money and power and girls. It proves that Mohammad was not a prophet of God, but a man out for gain using religion for his tool. It is called satanic verses because it proves that Islam is a sham, the Imams like to keep this part hidden and in Arabic only.

Rushdie's sin is he fictionalized it and exposed their own teachings to the world.

I was about two minutes away from being a fatal victim of the original fatwa. In London in June of 1989, I was standing at the window of a bookstore that was selling The Satanic Verses. This was just after the hit had been issued for Rushdie and no bookstores were carrying it. It impressed me that this one had it on display. I thought that was very brave.

I had walked about four blocks from the store when it was destroyed by a blast of TNT left in a briefcase, killing about a dozen people.
