#1 'After the Rushdie affair, Islam in Britain became fused with an agenda of murder'

Absolutely wrong. It's just that we noticed it thanks to Rushdie.

#2 Exactly so, Mr Crawford. Rushdie's death fatwa was the first glimpse most in the West had of the true face of Islam. It should have been enough. I am extremely gratified that he's still breathing.

#4 To continue a vague theme.
Rushdie's masterpeice "the Satanic Verses" would make a great and funny movie and really insult Islam bigtime.
Too bad Kubrick is dead.

#5 Who would publish such a novel today? Nobody. There are many more muslims in the West now than there were 18 years ago; the real war isn't in Iraq or Afghanistan, it's at home, and we're losing.

#6 That would require a real good screenwriter.

The book itself is boring...

#7 Agreed, john. I'd read and enjoyed his _Midnight's Children_, but Satanic Verses was a disappointment.
