    “In Tehran, some Iranians interviewed Saturday by The Associated Press praised the attack on an author they believe tarnished the Islamic faith, while others worried it would further isolate their country.”

    Yikes! Wtf! I also didn’t know that dozens of people have been killed over Satanic Verses, including a translator of the book.

    “At least 45 people were killed in riots over the book, including 12 people in Rushdie’s hometown of Mumbai. In 1991, a Japanese translator of the book was stabbed to death and an Italian translator survived a knife attack. In 1993, the book’s Norwegian publisher was shot three times and survived.”

    I’ve never read it, is this book that good????
