Imagine being so offended by a book. But then people lead their whole lives based on what someone made up in a book….

These people are absolute mentalists. People died in India over the rioting because of the content of his book. The guy that translated it into Japanese, perfectly innocent bloke, was murdered at his office. The guy that translated it into Italian had an attempt on his life and the Norwegian publisher was shot. Now Rushdie himself has ended up in ICU, all because a book he wrote was deemed to have some derogatory content about the prophet Muhammad. Something to do with some prostitutes in the story sharing the same name as two of Muhammad’s wives.
These people are stone age facking heathens, savages, sitting on rocks, smearing sheite on their faces and pointing in wonder at the sun.

Didn`t Hitler murder 6 million Jews because he didn`t like the religion. Am I missing something here, he was from the West.
Just shows how gullible some people are, told to be outraged by a decrepit old man, a man who sent bus loads of his own country’s children to their death by walking through minefields to clear a path for his brave soldiers during the Iran/Iraq war

I think the murder of millions of Jews may have been somewhat to do with their religion too.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
don't think that was based on Hitler's views on Judaism, more like the Naaazii views on race and Jews role in European society
Hitler, although brought up a Catholic was quite anti religion and v secular
news said he was stabbed in the neck and abdomen
how has he lost an eye then ?
The satanic verses doesn’t seem all that bad either, i haven’t read it but isn’t it something todo with the prophet taking satanic suggestions as word from god? Seems a lot of nonsense, that again people take far to seriously. Also do we know the motivation of the attack, may be totally unrelated?
Has anyone on here actually read the book?

The irony of the whole thing is, the more outraged people get over a book, the more likely other people are to read it.
Watch downloads of it go through the roof.
It shows how fragile their beliefs are. I mean who would win - the father of all creation, an omnipotent being who sees all, knows all and controls all, or one papery boi.
If they think their centuries-old text and the beliefs of 25% of the human population is going to be broken by mere mortals criticising it then it's a pretty crappy belief.

Terrible that he's been attacked like this. But "religion" is not the ultimate cause of this, evil is.
At least this happened in the US, so the perpetrator might get a proper sentence.

Well as we know, religion is a cancer.
I’ve not read the book, but from what I understand it was about far more than just criticism of Islam, it’s also a critique of Britain in the 80’s under Thatcher.
