41. Interview | Salman Rushdie
    Extensive interview with the author by Linda Richards. Accompanied by original photographs.

    Extractions: "It's one of the things that people stopped saying about my writing at a certain point. I think because what came at me was so unfunny there was a tendency to believe my writing must have the characteristics of the attack against it. If the attack was unfunny then I couldn't possibly be a funny writer and if the attack was kind of arcane and theological and kind of alien then the writing must be sort of arcane and theological and alien, you know? I think, for people that had never tried my work, it kind of put them off." He is, arguably, one of the most controversial writers of our time. His fourth book, The Satanic Verses caused an international storm so loud that, for a time, it did all but obliterate the identity of the man who had written it. "Who would have thought this kind of thing?" Salman Rushdie says now of the fatwa issued by the Ayatollah Khomeini on February 14, 1989. "That the leader of a foreign power would suddenly instruct his minions to have me killed? It would never really happen to a writer." Rushdie's most recent book

    Extractions: Home Articles Op-ed ... Arabic November 2, 2001 By SALMAN RUSHDIE ONDON "This isn't about Islam." The world's leaders have been repeating this mantra for weeks, partly in the virtuous hope of deterring reprisal attacks on innocent Muslims living in the West, partly because if the United States is to maintain its coalition against terror it can't afford to suggest that Islam and terrorism are in any way related. Why the routine anti-Semitism of the much-repeated Islamic slander that "the Jews" arranged the hits on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, with the oddly self-deprecating explanation offered by the Taliban leadership, among others, that Muslims could not have the technological know-how or organizational sophistication to pull off such a feat? Why does Imran Khan, the Pakistani ex-sports star turned politician, demand to be shown the evidence of Al Qaeda's guilt while apparently turning a deaf ear to the self-incriminating statements of Al Qaeda's own spokesmen (there will be a rain of aircraft from the skies, Muslims in the West are warned not to live or work in tall buildings)? Why all the talk about American military infidels desecrating the sacred soil of Saudi Arabia if some sort of definition of what is sacred is not at the heart of the present discontents? Of course this is "about Islam." The question is, what exactly does that mean? After all, most religious belief isn't very theological. Most Muslims are not profound Koranic analysts. For a vast number of "believing" Muslim men, "Islam" stands, in a jumbled, half-examined way, not only for the fear of God — the fear more than the love, one suspects — but also for a cluster of customs, opinions and prejudices that include their dietary practices; the sequestration or near-sequestration of "their" women; the sermons delivered by their mullahs of choice; a loathing of modern society in general, riddled as it is with music, godlessness and sex; and a more particularized loathing (and fear) of the prospect that their own immediate surroundings could be taken over — "Westoxicated" — by the liberal Western-style way of life.

LONDON, England (CNN) British author Salman Rushdie on Thursday called for a reform movement that would move Islam into the "modern age" to combat jihadists and closed Muslim communities in the West that produce disaffected youths wielding "lethal rucksacks." In 1989, Rushdie was forced into hiding when the late Iranian Islamic fundamentalist leader Ayatollah Khomeni issued a religious death decree for alleged blasphemy against Islam in Rushdie's novel "The Satanic Verses." The Indian-born Rushdie made his statement in an essay published Thursday in The Times of London titled, "Muslims unite! A new Reformation will bring your faith into the modern era."

When, on Thursday 24th September 1998, Britain and Iran struck a deal at the United Nations in New York to end the death threat over Salman Rushdie, the author appeared to be sure that a definitive breakthrough had been achieved for him: "All I can say is that it seems that this has been done in Iran with consensus. There doesn't seem to be any opposition to it in Iran." The Iranian Foreign Minister, Kamal Kharrazi had said in his statement, "The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention, nor is it going to take any action whatsoever to threaten the life of the author of The Satanic Verses or anybody associated with his work; nor will it encourage or assist anybody to do so." Many news reports celebrated the end of the 'Rushdie Affair' and welcomed the tentative restoration of full diplomatic relations with Iran (from charge d'affaires to ambassadorial level). However, two serious problems soon became apparent. Firstly, the deal was in fact more a climb-down on the part of the British than the Iranians. The British government had dropped several of its previous demands, by settling for a verbal rather than written statement from Iran and by waiving the requirement that the bounty be annulled.

The black-and-white photograph takes up a full page in the newspaper. In the top left-hand corner of the page, in full color, is a small rainbow-striped apple. Below this, there's a slangily American injunction to "Think Different." Such is the present-day power of international Big Business. Even the greatest of the dead may summarily be drafted into its image ad campaigns. Once, a half-century ago, this bony man shaped a nation's struggle for freedom. But that, as they say, is history. Now Gandhi is modeling for Apple. His thoughts don't really count in this new incarnation. What counts is that he is considered to be "on message," in line with the corporate philosophy of Apple.

51. America Responds To Terrorism -- Blasphemy Salman Rushdie
    In 1988, when salman rushdie first published The Satanic Verses in the United Kingdom, many Muslims living in that country accused the author of blasphemy  
    http://www.crf-usa.org/terror/rushdie.htm
    
    Extractions: Novelist Salman Rushie's book The Satanic Verses angered many Muslims. They accused Rushdie of blasphemyinsulting their sacred religion. The government of Iran offered a reward to anyone who killed Rushdie. Many people in Western nations viewed Iran's action as an assault on freedom of expression. They see blasphemy as an outdated notion. But the crime of blasphemy still exists in some Western nations. In the United States, prosecutions for blasphemy, though always rare, did not officially end until the early 1970s. Blasphemy refers to the act of offending deeply held religious beliefs. Perhaps the earliest prohibition against blasphemy appeared in the Ten Commandments, which declared, "You shall not revile God." In the Jewish tradition, this meant that no one could verbally abuse God or publicly reject belief in him. The Old Testament called for death by stoning for those guilty of blasphemy. After Christianity prevailed over most of Europe in the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church punished blasphemers by flogging, excommunication, and burning at the stake. In 1534, King Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church and established his own Church of England. It became the official church in England and later in some American colonies, such as Virginia. Under English common law, blasphemy was a crime, but only with reference to Christianity. This common law prohibition against Christian blasphemy has continued to the present day in the United Kingdom.

George W. Bush It goes on and on. Bali was hit last week by suicide bombers. George Bush upped the ante once again in "the global war on terror" with his October 6 speech. The New York subway is on a high terror alert. What is going on in the minds of the jihadists? What is the best way to challenge the "Islamo-fascists?" I recently spoke to Salman Rushdie, author of "The Satanic Verses" and, most recently, "Shalimar the Clown", about these issues: Nathan Gardels: It happened again last week in Bali, this time with suicide bombers. Before this there was London, Madrid and 9/11. There was the murder Theo Van Gogh on the street in Amsterdam and the brutal beheading of Danny Pearl in Karachi. In your newest novel, "Shalimar the Clown," you've imagined what is inside the minds of jihadists. Is there a common motivation for these different acts. Is it the "absolutism of the pure" striking out against the hybrid impurities of cosmopolitan culture, as you've often written? Salman Rushdie: In their minds at least, it is not a very theoretical or intellectual thing except for a few at the top of these terror networks.

The lawsuit also seeks an injunction preventing the government from relying on the ideological exclusion provision to exclude Ramadan or any other foreign national. In a related Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case, a judge in the Southern District of New York on Friday ordered the government to produce documents concerning the practice of ideological exclusion. The Department of State must release documents by February 28, 2006, and two components of the Department of Homeland Security and the Central Intelligence Agency must release documents by March 15, 2006. The FOIA request was filed on March 16, 2005 by the ACLU, American Association of University Professors and PEN American Center.
