After the 1988 publication of the novel “The Satanic Verses,” which Muslim fundamentalists were convinced insulted Islam, the Ayatollah Khomeini issued an order than author Salman Rushdie be executed. He lived for nine years under threat of being killed. In this interview originally broadcast on “CBS Sunday Morning” on September 29, 2002, Rushdie talked with correspondent Martha Teichner about the battle over freedom of thought in Islam and the “enriching jumble” of his past that has inspired his books; his 1999 move to New York City; and the problem of becoming “famous for the wrong thing.”

Salman rushdie and his supporters are terrorist..
This is what my fellow Muslims should do when someone insults our great Nabi (SAW)?
I believe that when someone insults our Nabi (SAW) it is nothing but a test from Allah'tala.
Allah is testing us to ensure we maintain our composure, our restraint, our patience, our tolerance against those who degrade the image of our beloved Prophet (SAW).
Whenever we detect an insult, we should approach those who have no respect for our Nabi (SAW) and embrace them with compassion and humility.
We must do this to show how amazing Islam is – in that we persevere in the face of hate and criticism. We must love and respect those who hate our Prophet. These are the teachings.
When these evil people see what Muslims are, and what Islam teaches they will immediately abandon their own belief and accept Islam.
Our beautiful deen will grow faster than ever before. Alhmadulliah.
Allah will be pleased as we've passed the test and we will all enter Jannah inshAllah.
What is happening now is a failed test. After every insult our Muslim brothers and sisters go on a witch hunt against those who insult, with assaults, killings, bombings, stabbings, death threats, violence, anarchy and general mayhem. Even those who silently support these radical Muslims are failing the test. Those who were thinking of embracing Islam will now turn their backs on the greatest religion of Peace because of these extremists. This makes Allah'tala very angry and you will bring his curse upon you.
Once you fail the test there is no coming back. Jahanam is your final resting place.
Good job to Hadi👍👍👍
Good riddance to Salman👎👎👎🖕🖕
i see no muslim speak out against this attack
Good by salman rushdie
After! Lol
He is a great writer I wish him speedy recovery what happened to him was not fair no one deserves to be stabbed no matter what they say or write.
Why islam is even legal? That's the problem. It's not the people, it's islam itself. No islam, no bad people. Simple as that.

Salman Rushdie has been leading the way for decades. The dangers and risks for speaking out and exercising free speech are real–but that which we fail to exercise will ultimately shrink and disappear. The wild salmon has become a rare breed facing extinction. Do we really want to live in a world where all salmon are farmed in huge nets? Do we want to live like domesticated salmon never knowing freedom? Stopping humans from using words to express certain thoughts and ideas is like preventing fish from swimming outside the net.
In No Rush to Die
by Frans Kuiper
Swimming upstream defying fate and time,
Not all words must flow in rhythm and rhyme.
Salmon born free to fulfil destiny,
Being true to self is no felony.
Life worth living born from struggle and strife,
Death will come by net, spear or a sharp knife.
Nothing will stop us here on a mission,
Threats of violence will not bring submission.
Following Science the new religion,
Nobody may question this pathogen!
Shut your mouth if you want to get money,
Speak out and your life will not be funny.
Put on a mask and receive your vaccine,
Safe and effective with a spike protein.
We’re in a big rush, so do as you’re told—
Blindly obey if you wish to grow old.
Politicians love us and never lie,
Trust Bill Gates he's one philanthropist guy.
Pharmaceutical companies all good,
Safety (not profits) come first as it should.
Do you feel like a fish out of water?
Does each day pass with you getting smarter?
Who will be first to jump over the dam?
How many will pass this final exam?
Now definitely I will read that book
Disgrace of profit ( p.b.u.h)is not acceptable.
Can this clown say some about Jews lol
Perplexed and sad to see the tremendous support for the heinous attack on a writer on BBC Urdu. To the ignorant and extremist element, he is a hero. Is this the teaching of the so called "religion of peace?" What an oxymoron. This is a fitting example of how blind faith is not fit for today's modern societies.
God gave us free will. This includes freedom of thought, expression , art humour, journalism, literature and sharing those ideas with others. Without that, we are no longer human
Where America and israel is killing thousands of muslims every day , u dont see that ???? Huh , what a pitty !
One man not even killed by a muslim (who worked hard to get killed) and its all over the media ! Wow ,
Nice use of media against Islam (as expected from american/anti-muslim media )
Just like people being murdered in Palestine since more than 2 decades-no news and now,when Ukrain is under threat ,a few day, all over media ) brilliant ,
well done mr matar !!! The whole pakistan is
also with you
We as muslims do not say anything to your Gods
or prophets, and no one has the right to say
anything to our Holy Prophet least of all speak ill
about someone who is THE MOST
RESPECTABLE for us, for whom Allah created
this universe for whom we are ready to
give our lives !
Muslims around the world are proud of u and are
with u inshaAllah
Wanting a man dead because of a book he wrote… are U kidding me? I mean if he had murdered somebody or raped several women or harmed a bunch of children then I'd understand wanting him dead. But for only writing a book…
Some people think their religion is the best and perfect with peace and submission. The quran mortified its own prophet and said it's a book from their god.
Why is ayatollah so white?
I miss Charles so much. Still love the show but sentimentality
If any muslim see this satan again he satan will face same consiquences
