Salman Rushdie visits North Dakota
Renowned author Salman Rushdie is speaking at my university tomorrow evening at 7PM. Salman Rushdie is author of numerous books, including the highly controversial The Satanic Verses, which elicited a fatwa from the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989. The Ayatollah considered The Satanic Verses blasphemous to Islam and several persons involved with the book have been hurt or killed by radical Muslims over the years.
He is speaking as part of UND's Writer's Conference. I am looking forward to meeting this man, as he is supposed to be a great author and is not afraid of controversy. I have a feeling that there will be a great discussion tomorrow evening. I will let you all know more about it either tomorrow evening or Wednesday.
