Proud ex Muslim here, I can freely proudly say Islam was all forced on me by My mother, father, cousins, uncles, aunties and my whole generation. I never had a connection with Islam from birth and still don't have any connections with Islam but Negative vibes and thoughts its why I had to disown my whole family to save my me. Islam was forced verbally and physically on me from birth even though I Showed signs towards my family that I was Different and liked different things, I was beaten out of my world and told haram,haram,haram. Being born and raised in Australia with Sunni Muslim Lebanese parents that are highly strict Is a mental health Bomb waiting to go off.
That's sad but once you discover your own the religion you will see that it is a beautiful religion actually, the majority of us are forced to practice it without knowing the reason behind it, without knowing the meaning of everything and unfortunately most of the time, parents don't have the wisdom to teach it correctly
There are many ways to have faith. Not all are people who can or even want to conform. Rushdie explores this in depth in Satanic Verses. Maybe read it.
Name those Islamic scholars ? Salman Rushdie just wrote amateur novels. He wasn't some brilliant scientist or genius. His opinions on Islam aren't ground breaking.
@@danielgodfrey2362 if you are for free expression then how about "Satanic jews" book ? or a book which question hollow cst ?? Crickets ?? I thought so
I am sure the English literature has put forward many great icons that Rushdie can't even come close to the dust under their shoes. Rushdie was med famous by the Khomeini's fatwa and the inflammation and promotion he got from the British establishment. Basically he was and is an attention starved nobody.
Salman Rushdie is one of the smartest writers & speakers I have ever seen in our world today. The books he writes are magical in many ways. I love his works.....
So that you should search like wise person who critisize manipulate the stories of ur great sikhs like kartarpur or even great... then you praise that person and wao wao what a freedom of expression
The final part moves you to tears. Exile, whether voluntary or forced, isn't an unmixed blessing. It takes a lifetime to come to terms with it and for Salman Rushdie it is still an unfinished business.
There is freedom of expression and thought, Salman Rush die expressed his expression and thought the majority of people are saying that people who were critics of him are much benefitted by his works.
14:45 He talks about how black people were discriminated against in advertising. Apparently he worked in advertising to pay the bills and witnessed some stuff he knew wasn’t right. He put it in his book.
Salman goes on to say directly on the face about the English around 12.30 two things that his mother told him, one was to clean their bottom with paper and second was they share the bath water. Anyone born in India, will abhor to hear them. I liked it .
He kind of looks like Kubrick too!!! That is a nice finding! Wishing him all the best while he battles his recent wounds and recuperates from the savage attack!
So what is it about this book that is so controversial I've never had anyone explain it to me. I asked a Pakistani and I nearly had my head bitten off he never explained what it was about the book that made it something to want to kill another person over.
No one cares about Salman Rushdie or wants to kill him, not even muslims. His publicity didnt come from the book, it came when Iranian Leaders whined about him. As for the book its really your average "Islam bad!!!" There isnt anything of actual merit there, youd find the same arguements and statements if you went to r/atheism on reddit and asked "what do you think of Islam" TL;DR Book is useless, Author got famous for being called out. As they say "Any publicity is good publicity"
@Kers Pertt What you just said is completely ridiculous. Salman risked his own skin by publishing this book to the public. It was a genuinely great book, with interesting characters, complex plots and interesting concept. This book promote critical thinking in subtle ways like allegories or the experience of characters. While yes it has a lot of critical view point about Islam, often ridiculing important Muslims figures, he still had the balls to publish this book and keep it publish even after the fatwa of Ayatollah Khomeini, demanding his death. There’s has been multiple assassination attempts on his life, because he dared to criticize Islam, because he dared to call out in subtle ways immoral practices promoted by the Quran. I do believe that his mockery of Islam is also important. While I’m not a fan of what type of mockery he did, I still respect the intent behind them. Salman used this method, because for many times, ridicule has been a weapon against tyranny and fear. Ridicule obstruct the fear that is pushed into people, it remove the seriousness of the idea, in this context it remove the seriousness of Islam to simply show how ridiculous Islam is with its many “fantasy” stories in the Quran. This is why it was so controversial, it did what no Muslim,ex-Muslim or Anti-Theist did, he dared to criticize and ridicule Islam, and in doing so, he caused a great controversy with Muslim communities. So, without due respect, there are people who cares about this book and this man, unlike what you think. Hopefully, you will comment in a reasonable and thoughtful manner.

Satirical magical realism piece in response to Salman Rushdie stabbing..... This is what my fellow Muslims should do when someone insults our great Nabi (SAW)? I believe that when someone insults our Nabi (SAW) it is nothing but a test from Allah'tala. Allah is testing us to ensure we maintain our composure, our restraint, our patience, our tolerance against those who degrade the image of our beloved Prophet (SAW). Whenever we detect an insult, we should approach those who have no respect for our Nabi (SAW) and embrace them with compassion and humility. We must do this to show how amazing Islam is - in that we persevere in the face of hate and criticism. We must love and respect those who hate our Prophet. These are the teachings. When these evil people see what Muslims are, and what Islam teaches they will immediately abandon their own belief and accept Islam. Our beautiful deen will grow faster than ever before. Alhmadulliah. Allah will be pleased as we've passed the test and we will all enter Jannah inshAllah. What is happening now is a failed test. After every insult our Muslim brothers and sisters go on a witch hunt against those who insult, with assaults, killings, bombings, stabbings, death threats, violence, anarchy and general mayhem. Even those who silently support these radical Muslims are failing the test. Those who were thinking of embracing Islam will now turn their backs on the greatest religion of Peace because of these extremists. This makes Allah'tala very angry and you will bring his curse upon you. Once you fail the test there is no coming back. Jahanam is your final resting place.
Those who attack are following the teaching of Prophet Muhammad. That is where they are getting their inspiration from. You notice that the wrong in the religion. You are a good person and notice the problem with the action of anger, violence and attack against people who used words to criticize a religion. I don't understand why Muslims treat their god as weak who needs defending from his creation. It just appears you got something to hide.
@@majeedm689 I never heard any Muslim who disagree with the fact that the penality for a Muslim who leaves and criticize Islam is death. That is your Quran.
He knows the hadith and Qur'an very well that's maybe the reason he is inspired to write the book actually if you read the hadiths about Muhammad you will be surprised but most Muslims don't know about the hadiths
and now - so many years after this - destroying his life because he had to go into hiding 24/7, they finally got him. Disgusting. Really really disgusting. Because of a book...
@@edmundtrebus4084 stabbing someone so many years after he wrote some book that destroyed his life because of some fanatics? yeah, that's truly strange.
Im neutral. Strongly condemned the the attack. But asking question to viewers or media Are Christians do the same behave and having the gentleman's gatherings with a persons who critisize /manipulate say blaa blaa about Bible?? Although 50% Stories are same in quran n bible
Rushdie is a great novelist and the satanic verses is one of the most important books ever written. Old time novels like the bible, the quran, and the talmud have lost all of their meaning nowadays. These are "weird" stories from the past that no longer have any bearing on today's reality. You could state that these so called religious novels are mere reading stuff for the illiterate who are totally out of touch with reality as it is today. Question is should these outdated religious novels be banned as too many fools take these potentially dangerous writings a bit too seriously.
Actually you believe that your thoughts are most modern.Unaware of a single thread of hair in your body,you profess blassfemy.Try to study yourself.Then you will understand what is right and what is wrong.
Is this book about Gabriel the angel as well than it's crap. Gabrielle say something like poor sod in the back room of a brothel lol not put down women
What is the punishment for blasphemy in Islam? There is no punishment in Islam for blasphemy. No such punishment is prescribed in the Holy Quran, or in any of the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad(sa). Islam promotes the need for respect of all religions for the sake of peace in society, but it does not set out any punishment for blasphemy despite the offence it may cause people of faith. We have evidence in the traditions of the Holy Prophet(sa) where Abdullah bin Ubayyee (Chief of the hypocrites) continuously abused the Prophet(sa), and opposed him severely in Madinah. When he passed away, the Prophet(sa) stood to offer his funeral prayers but was asked by one of his companions, “O Allah’s Apostle! Do you offer the prayer for this man although he said so-and-so on such-and-such-a day?” and “that he is a hypocrite!”. The Prophet(sa) ignored his statements and continued to offer the funeral prayers of the dead man. (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 192) The above example shows that the Prophet(sa) never ordered any punishment for anyone who insulted or abused him or God; on the contrary he went to pray for them that they be guided aright. If somebody uses foul language against any holy person or teaching, Islam advises to keep away from such people as The Holy Qur’an says, And when you see those who trifle with our signs then turn thou away from them until then engage in a discourse other than that and if Satan cause thee to forget then sit not, after recollection, with the unjust people. (Ch.6: V.69) A book “ Rushdie Haunted by his unholy ghosts ” is a good read on this subject. This book and other related subjects with original teachings of Islam can be found on website www.alislam.org

If we study and research the verses of the Holy Qur'an we will find many signs that will guide us to the existence of Almighty Allah. One of His Signs mentioned in this verse: و جعلنا السماء سقفا محفوظا و ھم عن آياتها معرضون o And We have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turned away from its portents. (Qur'an,21:32) Our life on earth is secured from all kind of space attacks like atomic charged solar winds come from the Sun and space strikes. Who can tell us 1500 years ago that our life on earth is protected by a protecting roof well guarded ? What if there is no magnetic fields/shields?

Of course, no intellectuals that have the capacity to criticize and scrutinize religion, like Salman, would be faithful to religion. He did what most people wouldn’t, he dared to criticize and ridicule Islam, he dared to laugh about Mohammed. Just for this reason, this man is a courageous and great man, and the book he’s written is an international treasure. And he did prove his point to the fullest. Some Muslims were enraged by the criticism of their religions, took to the streets and rioted, burning copies of the book and cheering at the news of the fatwa ordering his death. This showed a major problem of Islam, that it’s ideology at its core, is promoting violence. Sadly, the one who are the most vulnerable to this violence are Muslims themselves. Wives who are deemed ‘unfaithful’ and are beaten by their husband, people who left Islam’s that are killed (in many Muslim country, apostasy is a crime, “resolved” by a death sentence, etc. It is sad that Islam is somehow ‘immune’ to criticism by bursting outrage of Muslim communities when it happens. Yet, ironically, it should be these Muslims that should be critical of Islam. If they had been indoctrinated to a point where they tolerate wife beating, death threats and killings, then surely this was not a free choice. They were born of Muslim parents, and were mostly indoctrinated in the Muslim faith, discouraging critical thinking, doubts and any questions trying to discern the flaws of Islam.

Whenever we detect an insult, we should approach those who have no respect for our Nabi (SAW) and embrace them with compassion and humility.
We must do this to show how amazing Islam is - in that we persevere in the face of hate and criticism. We must love and respect those who hate our Prophet. These are the teachings.
When these evil people see what Muslims are, and what Islam teaches they will immediately abandon their own belief and accept Islam.
Our beautiful deen will grow faster than ever before. Alhmadulliah.
Allah will be pleased as we've passed the test and we will all enter Jannah inshAllah.
What is happening now is a failed test. After every insult our Muslim brothers and sisters go on a witch hunt against those who insult, with assaults, killings, bombings, stabbings, death threats, violence, anarchy and general mayhem. Even those who silently support these radical Muslims are failing the test. Those who were thinking of embracing Islam will now turn their backs on the greatest religion of Peace because of these extremists. This makes Allah'tala very angry and you will bring his curse upon you.
Once you fail the test there is no coming back. Jahanam is your final resting place.
Life is not revolving around you.
Those who attack are following the teaching of Prophet Muhammad. That is where they are getting their inspiration from. You notice that the wrong in the religion. You are a good person and notice the problem with the action of anger, violence and attack against people who used words to criticize a religion. I don't understand why Muslims treat their god as weak who needs defending from his creation. It just appears you got something to hide.
You jokers are really funny 😂😂

This is some low level humanity he shows. He want fame and he gets thats it

When you put it all into perspective it's really strange.

Literature -- and especially the novel -- is the antithesis of power in any form because it dares question everything you are forbidden to question.

Rushdie is a great novelist and the satanic verses is one of the most important books ever written. Old time novels like the bible, the quran, and the talmud have lost all of their meaning nowadays. These are "weird" stories from the past that no longer have any bearing on today's reality. You could state that these so called religious novels are mere reading stuff for the illiterate who are totally out of touch with reality as it is today. Question is should these outdated religious novels be banned as too many fools take these potentially dangerous writings a bit too seriously.
The Holy Bible is not a novel. God is real 🌈🙏🏻

What is the punishment for blasphemy in Islam?
There is no punishment in Islam for blasphemy. No such punishment is prescribed in the Holy Quran, or in any of the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad(sa). Islam promotes the need for respect of all religions for the sake of peace in society, but it does not set out any punishment for blasphemy despite the offence it may cause people of faith.
We have evidence in the traditions of the Holy Prophet(sa) where Abdullah bin Ubayyee (Chief of the hypocrites) continuously abused the Prophet(sa), and opposed him severely in Madinah.
When he passed away, the Prophet(sa) stood to offer his funeral prayers but was asked by one of his companions, “O Allah’s Apostle! Do you offer the prayer for this man although he said so-and-so on such-and-such-a day?” and “that he is a hypocrite!”. The Prophet(sa) ignored his statements and continued to offer the funeral prayers of the dead man. (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 192)
The above example shows that the Prophet(sa) never ordered any punishment for anyone who insulted or abused him or God; on the contrary he went to pray for them that they be guided aright.
If somebody uses foul language against any holy person or teaching, Islam advises to keep away from such people as The Holy Qur’an says,
And when you see those who trifle with our signs then turn thou away from them until then engage in a discourse other than that and if Satan cause thee to forget then sit not, after recollection, with the unjust people. (Ch.6: V.69)
A book “ Rushdie Haunted by his unholy ghosts ” is a good read on this subject. This book and other related subjects with original teachings of Islam can be found on website www.alislam.org

Jai shree Ram 🕉️
Ja sam hrišćanin ali moram nešto da kažem.Zašto se vode ratovi na verskoj osnovi.Pazato što postoje budali kao što je taj pisac Ruždi.Muslimani poštuju svog boga,oni ne dozvoljavaju da njihovog boga neko vređa,ne dozvoljavaju da se neko sa njihovim bogom spreda.Taj Englez je dao sebi za pravo da ismejava nečijeg.boga.Nije to smeo,ni on ni bilo ko na svetu.Mi hrišćani nebi tako Rea
Govali kada bi neko naručio Isusa Hrista jer mi slabo poštujemo ili uopšte ne poštujemo našeg boga.Niko nema pravo da omalovažava i vređa božijeg boga.Dužni smo da poštujemo svog boga i da se poklonim i ukažemo poštovanje tuđem bogu onda bi nam bilo svima dobro i nebi bilo mržnje.

SIGNS OF ALMIGHTY ALLAH
IN THE HOLY QUR'AN
We shall show them Our Signs in the Universe and within their own selves, Dunhill it becomes clear to them that He is the Truth
(Qur'an,41:53)
A man can't see Almighty Allah therefore He manifested Himself in His Signs in the horizons (universe).
If we study and research the verses of the Holy Qur'an we will find many signs that will guide us to the existence of Almighty Allah.
One of His Signs mentioned in this verse:
و جعلنا السماء سقفا محفوظا و ھم عن آياتها معرضون o
And We have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turned away from its portents.
(Qur'an,21:32)
Our life on earth is secured from all kind of space attacks like atomic charged solar winds come from the Sun and space strikes.
Who can tell us 1500 years ago that our life on earth is protected by a protecting roof well guarded ?
What if there is no magnetic fields/shields?
Almighty Allah is the Originator of the universe and Creator of the Mankind. All such verses are mentioned in the Holy Qur'an guide us to the existence of Almighty
Allah.

This man is playing for food he is not faithful any religion
Of course, no intellectuals that have the capacity to criticize and scrutinize religion, like Salman, would be faithful to religion. He did what most people wouldn’t, he dared to criticize and ridicule Islam, he dared to laugh about Mohammed. Just for this reason, this man is a courageous and great man, and the book he’s written is an international treasure. And he did prove his point to the fullest. Some Muslims were enraged by the criticism of their religions, took to the streets and rioted, burning copies of the book and cheering at the news of the fatwa ordering his death. This showed a major problem of Islam, that it’s ideology at its core, is promoting violence. Sadly, the one who are the most vulnerable to this violence are Muslims themselves. Wives who are deemed ‘unfaithful’ and are beaten by their husband, people who left Islam’s that are killed (in many Muslim country, apostasy is a crime, “resolved” by a death sentence, etc. It is sad that Islam is somehow ‘immune’ to criticism by bursting outrage of Muslim communities when it happens. Yet, ironically, it should be these Muslims that should be critical of Islam. If they had been indoctrinated to a point where they tolerate wife beating, death threats and killings, then surely this was not a free choice. They were born of Muslim parents, and were mostly indoctrinated in the Muslim faith, discouraging critical thinking, doubts and any questions trying to discern the flaws of Islam.

Nope you may be thinking of Muhammed (piss be upon him) he was definitely wrong about everything in his retarded book
At 8: 52 he said about himself. Trying to metamoprphosis into englishman. He turns into a pathetic devil.
Sad an islamist stabbed him in the eye and made him blind
He took the pleasure to tell an untrue story for the fun of it and that discredit the Quraan . He intentionally or unintentionally allowed himself to be used by the enemy of Islam to attack Islam. For that he enjoy the fame and honour by the devil 👿 the Queen .But it has has a price to pay. Everything has a cost and risk. He decided to take the risk and pay the price for it. Whether it's fair or justified , it's immaterial. It takes all sort of people to make this World
What exactly is the "enemy" of islam?
Stories aren't true.
