[@guharup]

Thanks for doing what you did. Courage against bullies at all times

[@Katharsis540]

Truth Against The World. Druid saying.

[@golbargaam]

Thanks to you for this interview, and thanks to hom for writing " des versés satanique" . My son was beaten at school in Lyon, France because has asked his class mates if they have read this book!?

[@NoOne-tg9tk]

France is infested by Islamists

[@kaungkhantthein5348]

I am so sorry to hear that.. I hope your son is alright

[@BonniciAlexia]

Imagine sitting next to him at a dinner party! What an interesting, curious, and honest person.

[@iga27]

Thank you Salman! Go on living, and spreading your 'gospel' of humanity. Perhaps one day your islamic enemies understand what life is about. For now, it seems they only understand what death is about, if only for a fleeting moment.

If you think your religion might be harmed by a book, a novel or by a person means that religion is a weaker one. You d better to find a another religion

[@ramdularsingh1435]

Salman Rushdie is a creative genius. He is a responsible citizen of a country and the world as well. Before all the rest he is human being. So he must be allowed to speak or write about anything he feels and thinks to be right.

[@MuhammadTayyabRana]

Your message was "don't go anywhere to Islam". But look there are 2 Billion Muslims. They will continue to rise... You made attempt get publicity to mock a religion. You had nothing positive from yourself to inspire the world instead put Muslim behaviors on fire to get sympathy from enemies of Islam.. So, you were totally wrong....

[@hemanths1448]

Hope, you have made this comment after reading his book. Books don't offend people very easily. Life is too short to force yourself to read a 400 page book. It's not anti Islam to support someone's right to freedom. We here in india lost people like m f Hussain because of fanatic medieval mindset.

[@krishnanunnimadathil8142]

I don’t think you get it. What he meant was to avoid discussion of Islam as a subject in a novel setting; which is what the response of the unlettered to the Satanic Verses proved. Not surprised by your lack of understanding, however - those millions who couldn’t read a word to save their life, who were ranting against the book were similar in their ability to comprehend what’s being said by Rushdie.

[@briumphbimbles]

All religions are ripe for mockery. Especially the ones that refuse to laugh at themselves. Especially ones that go after a man like a cult of savages. If you want to mediate/ mitigate any criticism that he or other people have you should look inwards at exactly that behaviour, because that isnt particularly convincing behaviour. The problem is most religions have moved passed permitting that sort of behaviour on their behalf. There are few others that still promote/ allow it. There are few others that have or would use their influence to target individuals. Sorry you are totally wrong here.

[@FlyingSpaghettiMonster2000]

Banging out kids to breed a religion doesn't validate its nonsense.

[@corngrohlio]

Even if he did offend your religion... get the fuck over it? Such fragility from Islam is weak
