Banned Books 02: The Satanic Verses and the fatwa

24 min•27 april 2024

The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie inspired riots in England and book burnings in India; death threats, murders and a fatwa; and ultimately, a devastating physical attack on Salman Rushdie in 2022. 

Banned Books is a new series that looks at what's driving book bans worldwide.

This episode revisits how one book inspired so much hatred and violence.
