Storyline

"The Islamic world is in crisis with the publication of Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses. Rushdie wants Pakistan, the stronghold of Islam, to fall. Determined to foil his plans are a trio of brothers who form a holy army to destroy Rushdie.

"Rushdie plans to drive the final nails into the coffin of Islam by opening a new chain of Casin*s and Discos, spreading contemptible vice and debauchery.

"Mustafa Qureshi, hen pecked to death by his demented wife, decides to call it a day with his day job at the Police station and induct his unemployed brothers to create a Mujahid (God's soldiers) trio whose sole aim is to seek out and destroy the despised Salman Rushdie before he manages to destroy all virtue and decency on the planet."

At various points in the movie, Rushdie's henchmen kill off various affiliated jihadis, and Rushdie dips his handkerchief into their blood so he can snort it. Among the assassination efforts includes several song and dance routines, and the "heroic" trio of assassins wearing Batman costumes.

Eventually, cornered in his stately mansion, Rushdie is confronted by the trio, who, when they finally have an opportunity to kill him, instead stand around praising Allan as flying UFO Korans appear in the sky and zap Rushdie with lightning bolt laser beams.

As seen in this thankfully brief scene, in an otherwise tedious 240 minute movie.

#2 Hopefully Rushdie speaks better than he writes.
