Why I admire Salman Rushdie
He just has a way with words and using them to twist ideas and reality so that they become incredibly clever, poignant and funny at the same time.
I don’t think he meant to offend Islam in the Satanic Versus, but perhaps just people who will not allow reason to enter their arguments (which I do not think is inherent to Islam at all). Surely responding to him with vitriol and death threats is more of an insult to Islam than anything he did or said.
