Description
The Satanic Verses sparked a global outcry in 1989, its author Salman Rushdie facing death threats and violence. Thirty years on, Kenan Malik examines how this event shaped international debates on multiculturalism, tolerance and free speech, contributing to the rise of radical Islam and influencing events like 9/11 and 7/7. Malik explores the complex web of factors that led to these developments, drawing on his own experiences as a Muslim living in Britain. He argues that the Rushdie affair marked a turning point in the global conversation about identity, faith and politics. Through this lens, Malik sheds light on how extremist ideologies have evolved over time, and what can be learned from the past to build a more inclusive future.
