Salafi extremism is a disease for world peace. If you teach your kids to be a slave to some high power and must protect that higher power at any means then your kid going to grow up as the biggest a****** to society with no awareness to human life or any social skills. This is a purposefully brainwashing created by a toxic generation to make you mentally ill.

The novel in question is called The Satanic Verses.
Context is: The Prophet Muhammad went around Mecca at the time spreading the verse of the new religion (Islam) in the stead of the current idolatry worshipping.
Controversy: it relates to an excerpt from Rushdie’s novel which retells of a time where the Prophet Muhammad believes he is told by the angel Gabriel that it is okay for people to worship Islam and the idolatry that is happening when in actual fact it is the Devil telling him these things — hence Satanic Verses.
This story is apocryphal — Muslim scholars deny this ever happening — so it is essence considered blasphemous. The novel is also alleged to paint the Prophet Muhammad in a bad light, which further stokes controversy in the Muslim world.
At the time, many Muslim scholars and politicians alike requested Rushdie to renounce the novel but he never did. He basically gave a “sorry not sorry” apology and kind of moved on. However, the book was banned in both India and Pakistan for those reasons above.
It’s a classic case of “we should have freedom of speech don’t bow to violence” vs “we should not be actively offending people to cause problems”
Fox News really mentioned on air that dude had a $3mil bounty on his head…. That’s just irresponsible

pretty dumb IMO because it seems like he was just creatively interpreting things for a story rather than purely trying to offend people i.e. Charlie hebdo
