What truth did Rushdie write to so infuriate the members of the religion of peace?

Yeah. I'd like to know what this book was about also. Have to go to Amazon. This news will spark a second printing, probably.

He wrote about Islam- "The Satanic Verses":

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.
