Salman Rushdie Reads from "The Satanic Verses"

Back


This clip was taken from "Faith & Reason" on PBS. Excerpt was read at the PEN American Center on April 26, 2006. This is the infamous passage that sparked off the book's controversy.

Quick Update: Since I've been confused for both Jewish, and Muslim somehow, for the record: I'm actually agnostic.

EXTREMEIST Muslim. No one likes it when someone says you American/Brits/Atheists/Gay are negative xyz (warmongers/devil whorshippers/whatever). Don't be a hypocrite and generalize like that.

The people in the west don't go out on killing spree in the name of religion. Wow you prove my point. You prove to be a hatemonger anti atheist and anti gay. There are many gays and atheists in the muslim world too but they are oppressed. You don't like if I told muslims are warmongers/devil whorshippers/whatever. I generalize when there is a basis for it.

Your point is "muslims are the ones whoe are fearful and get angry and kill on every little thing." My point is stop generalizing. I dont hate gays or atheists, I was making an example.

There is no basis for calling all Muslims fearful killers because frankly no society can function like that. Yes in many Muslim nations gays and other religions are oppressed. But it doesn't do you any good to ignore places like Turkey, Indonesia, and Malaysia where freedom of religion exists.
