While we’re on the subject…

An old article about one of my favorite subjects: http://weeklywire.com/ww/02-08-99/tw_book1.html (Thank you, bella)

It is partially because I am a fan of Rushdie’s work that I post this but my obsession with the fatwa is also rooted in the idea, as the article states, that a book can upset this many people and shake the foundations of a religious belief. Anyone who charges anoher with religious offense or claims to ever be upset by any challenge to their belief only demonstrates their true lack of faith and tenuous grasp on religious philosophy.
