Extremism in Islam curbing an author’s pen to write about the truth of Islam. Salman Rushdie’s novel “The Satanic Verses” became the cause of his death as he was stabbed by an Islamic extremist.

In 1989, Rushdie was not known how his life will be changed after publishing a novel when a fatwa was issued by the supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini against Salman Rushdie. After receiving a fatwa tag he tried to hide from the Muslims and also controlled their traveling.

What Rushdie conferred in his novel “The Satanic Verses”?

The satanic verses are the words as a suggestion that was mistaken by the Islamic prophet Muhammad for divine revelation. The verses focused on the mistakes committed by the prophet Muhammad during his lifetime and the relationship he established with his own 6-year-old daughter named Ayesha.

These verses have been for the first time converted into English by Sir William Muir in 1858. These verses also praised the three goddesses al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat and can be read in early biographies of Muhammad.

Rushdie was an Indian-origin Muslim writer who used to express his thoughts on the teachings of Islam through his writings. Similarly, in his novel, he conveys his thoughts about the Islamic prophet Muhammad which are most probably true but the blind followers of Islam are not ready to accept them.

After several years of holding fatwa, Rushdie was killed at the age of 75 on 12 August 2022. He was stabbed with a sharp weapon in his face and abdominal region after which he was admitted to the hospital but he couldn’t survive.

The perpetrator was not having any reason of doing the heinous crime accept the misleading thought filled in his mind by the leaders of the terror funding organization in the name of Islam. They used to give the teachings to youth whose brains can easily be washed. 

All the nations should have strong rules against such followers of Islam so that their intentions can be breached. United Nations is working as a dead body because we have seen many attacks in recent years in the US itself. 

We remember the killing of a professor who was giving a lecture in the hall and was stabbed similarly and the reason behind it was he used a caricature over the topic of religion for Islam. These accidents are revealing the vibrant negative thoughts that are being filled in the minds of the youth of the world.

We should work unite to defend our own humanity from such perpetrators with the assistance of the government. The leaders of such a group should be immediately arrested and all the places where they carry out their evil work should be seized.
