Insipid Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Doing stunts like this just makes him better known to the public. The attacker didn't even succeed in killing him, so congrats on failing on two accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 32 minutes ago, NewBluntsworth said: And here comes the fake Salman Rushdie knower-abouter. Well go on then, regurgitate what you saw on Reddit, as you so often do. Everyone should know who Salman Rushdie is without Reddit, seeing as he's a central figure in Iran's relationship with the West. An ardent anti-imperialist such as yourself would know that Khomeini's response to that book is often used to foment sentiment against Iran particularly when it comes to Iran's prominent conflict with Isreal. In fact, most people likely would have forgotten Khomeini if not for The Satanic Verses giving him a new international platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which do you think he would characterize himself as - the righteous family man who transforms into a stinking devil while still being righteous or the completely vain fraud who transforms into an angel while still being a complete dick?

katt_goddess Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 To therefore add context to my comment, I've read the book in question and the fatwah is total political bullcrap to keep a certain faction 'relevant'. If they had never said word one about it, no one would have read it. It would never have become the type of bestseller classic that it did because its just one of those books that appeal to a slim section of the reading population - those that enjoy books set in foreign lands with a tinge of the surreal. But give it that punch of controversary and ban it, everyone ends up at least knowing about it. Further, any fundamentalist Muslim who loses their mind over a visual or textual description of Mohammad is doing the exact thing they are accusing that person of doing - putting the figure of the human ahead of the message. They are actively creating a sacred image by screaming about any image. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I saw in one of the articles somewhere that the fatwah is accompanied by an approximately $3m bounty, so there's that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrixman124 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 So because JKR was also threatened by the attacker, TERFs are now saying that the criticism against Rowling's politics is the same as the fatwa issued by Iran in response to the Satanic Verses.
