Satanic Verses is a book by Indian born British author
Salman Rushdie. In the book there is a particular section titled Return to Jahilia where
the author describes the conquest of Jahilia by Mahmound. The Persian named Salman, in
his complaints to Baal stresses on the problems in the absurd sacred verses written by
Mahmound, especially the way women are portrayed in
them.
This section of the book was found extremely
offensive and blasphemous by Muslims around the World, with the spiritual leader of Iran
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issuing a fatwa in the name of Rushdie and offering a $1
million award to anyone who fulfils it.
