TRIVIA 0000046: Did you know that Salman Rushdie, a British Indian author who wrote “Satanic Verses”, a fiction novel that caricatured prophet Mohammed, was accused of blasphemy and dishonor to the Islam religion?
Khomeini’s last public act was to offer a $ 1 million for anyone who could kill him.
I remember that, clearly. It’s how the Arabic word ‘fatwa’ came into common English circulation.
That author should pay respect to Islam religion..
And people should pay respect to human life.
Yup everyone has his own unique opinions…
Yes, but my point is that human life is of more importance than opinions or beliefs.
I remember that story that made news headlines in America.
Yeah he was on a bounty with that big amount of reward prize from an Iranian President…I dunno if he still alive today
He’s alive and well and living in the US. It was Rushdie who said, “What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.”
After all he’s alive and kicking…
