"The novel has been accused of blasphemy for its reference to the Quranic Satanic Verses. Pakistan banned the book in November 1988. On 12 February 1989, 10,000 protesters gathered against Rushdie and the book in Islamabad, Pakistan. "
HAVE ACTUALLY READ (and understood/appreciated) THE BOOK !!!??
If so, how could they possibly see it as anything they would want to protest?!
