Q Post 3974 about Jack Dorsey and "The Satanic Verses" book. I'm not sure what Q wants us to know about Jack Dorsey and the book 'The Satanic Verses" but it seems the author Salman Rushdie wasn't the 1st to write about the "PROPHET" and Founder of the Muslim Religion being influenced by SATAN, a man named William Muir said the same thing in the late 1800's. Looks like the book written by Salman Rushdie caused death and bombings, and he had to go into hiding for over a decade. "The Satanic Verses controversy, also known as the Rushdie Affair, was the heated and frequently violent reaction of Muslims to the publication of Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses, which was first published in the United Kingdom in 1988 and inspired in part by the life of Muhammad. Many Muslims accused Rushdie of blasphemy or unbelief and in 1989 the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran issued a fatwa ordering Muslims to kill Rushdie. Numerous killings, attempted killings, and bombings resulted in response to the novel. The Iranian government backed the fatwa against Rushdie until 1998, when the succeeding government of Iranian President Mohammad Khatami said it no longer supported the killing of Rushdie. However, the fatwa REMAINS IN PLACE. The issue was said to have divided "Muslims from Westerners along the fault line of culture," and to have pitted a core Western value of freedom of expression—that no one "should be killed, or face a serious threat of being killed, for what they say or write"—against the view of many Muslims—that no one should be free to "insult and malign Muslims" by disparaging the "honour of the Prophet"  English writer Hanif Kureishi called the fatwa "one of the most significant events in postwar literary history". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Verses_controversy "The Satanic Verses, magic realist epic novel by British Indian writer Salman Rushdie that upon its publication in 1988 became one of the most controversial books in recent times. Its fanciful and satiric use of Islam struck many Muslims as blasphemous, and Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against the author in 1989, enjoining Muslims to kill not only Rushdie but also his editors and publishers. Violent demonstrations followed in Pakistan; copies of the novel were burned in Britain, where several bookstores were bombed; and the work was banned in several countries. Rushdie responded to India’s banning of the book by saying that “the book isn’t actually about Islam, but about migration, metamorphosis, divided selves, love, death, London and Bombay.” The thematically complex work earned Rushdie a Whitbread Book Award for novel of the year, and it was short-listed for the Booker Prize, both in 1988. The book was overshadowed, however, by the blasphemy controversy. Rushdie was put under police protection after the issuance of the fatwa, and he spent the better part of the next decade in hiding before the government of Iran declared in 1998 that it no longer sought his death. Rushdie recounted the experience in his 2012 third-person memoir Joseph Anton, which was the alias he used while in hiding." https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Satanic-Verses Satanic Verses refers to words of "SATANIC SUGGESTION" which the Islamic Prophet Muhammad is alleged to have mistaken for divine revelation. The alleged verses can be read in early biographies of Muhammad by al-Wāqidī, Ibn Sa'd and Ibn Ishaq, and the tafsir of al-Tabarī. "While the historicity of the incident is rejected today by Muslim scholars on the basis of the theological doctrine of moral infallibility ('isma) of Muhammad [that is Muhammad would never have been fooled by Satan], some secular scholars have accepted it, citing the implausibility of early Muslim biographers fabricating a story so unflattering about their prophet. The first use of the expression is attributed to SIR WILLIAM MUIR in 1858." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_Verses It is incumbent upon us to consider this question from a Christian point of view, and to ask whether the supernatural influence, which ... acted upon the soul of the Arabian prophet may not have proceeded from the Evil One ... Our belief in the power of the Evil One must lead us to consider this as at least one of the possible causes of the fall of Mahomet... into the meshes of deception ... May we conceive that a diabolical influence and inspiration was permitted to enslave the heart of him who had deliberately yielded to the compromise with evil. First: Polygamy, Divorce, and Slavery strike at the root of public morals, poison domestic life, and disorganise society; while the Veil removes the female sex from its just position and influence in the world. Second: freedom of thought and private judgment are crushed and annihilated. Toleration is unknown, and the possibility of free and liberal institutions foreclosed. Third: a barrier has been interposed against the reception of Christianity.
