I notice you girls and guys bought up the topic of salman rushdie..i;ve not read the satanic verses because the title doesn't appeal to me and i've heard he's got a death threat looming over him.

Anyway i recently finished reading "desperately seeking paradise" by ziauddin sardar, it mentioned the salman rushdie contraversy, in one whole chapter. I was quite shocked by how this man took our prophet's biography (pbuh), and made it out to be his own "fiction" story. He only made slight changes to names, made outrageously offensive caricatures of every key figure in the history of Islam, all the wives of the prophet (ra), all the companions (ra) nothing went untouched. He used Martin lings biography as an outline. How he wasn't done for libel or blasphemy beats me. The book suggests the climate the book was written in, with thatcherite rule, racism, and the bnp ideas on the rise, meant the discrimination was justified, and overlooked.

In light of the new laws can't he be done for blasphemy. I mean muslim book shops are gona be scrutinised for any so called "terrorist" material for the greater good of society. What good in society does this book serve? Shouldn't all book shops be vetted, why just islamic ones?

Question do books go through a vetting process before they're deemed suitable for the public to read, or can any joe blogs produce some trash and get it out there as long as he/she finds a publisher?

P.S even though the man makes my blood boil i wana read the book to be informed myself rather than via a third party.

all kinds of books can get published, only when they get complained against do they get looked at seriously. nothing stopping anyone to speak out against religion, via media or books or any mean.....its britain, a nation trying to move away from religion. and Salman Rushdie is doing a great favour, and he lives here and has 24/7 protection and has been nominated for more book awards recently!

unlike Miss UK, she aint telling anyone shes muslim or anything

but she IS a Muslim

AND she's taking the mick

Miss UK never did that

What is mick? Just out of curiousity does anybody know madonna's real name??

She is a Muslim.

Madonna's real name is.. Madonna. No, really, it is.

Cassandra Peterson's real name is Elvira too but ok it just sounds like a strange name. Shee probably had it legally changed because I wouldn't think her parents named her that but then she was a catholic and I think they call mary madonnna sometimes so maybe it is.

From what I read she can't siing, can't dance but she can strip. It was the star that called her the muslim madonna and it caught on. That's one of those tabloids that talks about little green men and flying saucers. I don't think anybody will thiink thats part of islam. Sex sells videos I guess anyway her birth name is deepika thathaal. I don't know about thathaal but deepika is hindu. he muslim madonSearch rrevival forumI think her father was muslim though.

I thought someone would have cleared this up by now. :roll:

It wasn't Khadafi who issued the fatwa.

[url=http://www.watan.com/img/1/qadhafi.jpg]Khadafi[/url] is current leader of Libya.

[url=http://www.rstolley.com/khomeini.jpg]Khomeini[/url] was the guy with the fatwa.

This "Muslim Madonna", is she worth talking about? I mean, I know she's upset a lot of Muslims but we shouldn't really draw more attention to her stupid ways. Bottom line, controversy sells records, so does taking your clothes off. If she goes to hell, she will without doubt be of the losers and stand before her Lord asking for another chance. But it will be all too late.
