Description: | Select Guide Rating The Number 1 international bestseller updated and reissued. Almost thirty years ago, the image of burning copies of Salman Rushdie''s The Satanic Verses held aloft by thousand-strong mobs of protesters became an internationally familiar symbol of anger and offence. In From Fatwa to Jihad, Kenan Malik reveals how the Rushdie affair transformed the debate worldwide on multiculturalism, tolerance and free speech, helped fuel the rise of radical Islam and pointed the way to the horrors of 9/11 and 7/7. |
