Salman Rushdie: The 60 Minutes Interview (1990) 

let someone write a book about ur family females and their loose character Lets see how much u will love the author

​@@txt4rGet a grip, Abdul.

@@ВиталийСлонов-ч4ъ truth hurts

It's a Wallace family trait ...

Yawn

yeah that's kind of the point? welcome to interview shows

Lmao, only when it's islam or arabs. If a book was made against black people, jewish people, gay people, or any other kind of people, it would be strongly condemned. There's a reason why it's taboo to say the n-word, do blackface or raise a swastika because it's hate speech.

He wont dare insult a chew

You should say that to lgbt

@@SamBekn LGBT are made fun of all the time, even by themselves. Nobody has had to spend ten years in hiding over it. Islam on the other hand...

Such freedom is not allowed under Islam. Under Sharia a Muslim is permitted to k ill anyone for blasphemy. In fact, under Islam ic law a Muslim entails no penalty for k illing a non-Muslim. S e e on YT Jay Smith's recent discussions with Lloyd (esp # 15).

Insulting others is not art but nice joke

@@generaljg4373 Life's too short to be insulted by art and entertainment.

@@generaljg4373 You can cry all you want. Nobody is going to apologize for the book, and there will be more written. Get used to it.

@@generaljg4373 At the end of the day, it's the reader's interpretation that will decide the true message of a story. To think, most readers interpretation actually changes through time.

@@generaljg4373 islamist 😬😂

I've just bought it! Looking forward to reading it!

@@James-ec7qx Be prepared. Some people criticize it on literary grounds for being rambling and incoherent.

@@James-ec7qx waste of money

@@whatthecello42 They criticise the Qur’an for the same reason.

@@generaljg4373 I'm enjoying it so far!

I just bought it as well!! I think Tehran just pulled off the biggest streisand effect ever seen by attacking Rushdie, so many people are buying the books now. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Which is the worst possible reason for buying a book...you're both going to be SO disappointed when you realise its literary value is found wanting (as said by critics at the time)...unless you just want to buy the book for decoration.

Strangely enough I was thinking about Salman and the book a couple months before this assassination attempt. I think a purchase of his book will occur on pay day after I pay the rent and I don't even like reading fiction.

@@anthonymcken6050 Go right ahead, it’s your money.

In addition please study what there in Quran. 🛑 Please listen to Exmuslim channels and learn truth about Islam, and let others know.🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑

Freedom to defend yourself faith is more important

@Hassf : benign book !?

​@@rizwanmallick4884Calm down, Mutawakkil, police be upon you. Give your head a wobble and you might see the light.

@Jay Zeromp you look up to a warlord, who married a child. Who made up rules as they suited him. You've been deceived.

@Jay Zeromp if your religion was true youd be able to handle it

@Jay Zeromp spread justice by killing people? The guy was an awful human being. The religion is laughable. I'm not interested in your whataboutism for another religion. One bad idea doesn't validate another dreadful idea.

@Jay Zeromp you might not bow to it, but you sure do line up to get in. No one forced you to live in a western society that values freedom of expression. You are free to move to a Muslim country. You are free to live in a country that bans this type of book before it ever reaches you & god forbid offends your fragile sensibilities.

@Jay Zeromp If you can't handle "blasphemy", then you can't handle criticism. Non-muslims are not obliged to follow your religious laws.

Dare he write a book about the Jews I dare you and him

Streisand effect

@@jernaumoratgurgeh8548 could explain that phrase. I never heard it before.

Allah told him to do that

Don't let me catch you reading his book 😄

@@rick6672 no money to buy anyway. I would have to search online. And its way too indirect for me to understand.

Yeah you tried for 20 years. Didn't work

@@brokenSnake Rushdie's current book sales would disagree.

Tell that ro your Lgbt guys

@@عبدالله-ر8ف6ق LGBT haven't committed terrorism or assassinations on people who don't agree with them.

his books are unreadable trash

Same! Best wishes and more power to Salman from his native country. My native country! India 🇮🇳

Rushdi is a devil himself

He only wrote this Book so devil will be Happy just to please the devils and he can Earn Money

@@shahnazkayani2310 how about you??

@@shahnazkayani2310 one of those evils are yourself thats why you got angry based on your owner thought

@@bluelife9503 who Said I was Angry ?? I only Answered you that shows you are Angry, Moses Jesus Mohammad Said the Same things Torah Bible Says Same not Much difference, It’s up to God how God want people Live on this Earth wants to Live , but Every Religion Changes after few Centuries. Christians are Not following what Jesus Said and Jews are not following what Moses Said. Jewish and Christian Women were More Covered then the Muslims women

What is a psy-op?

@@Sas-rf9sy a psychological operation for the public sphere as part of the social engineering project.

And Harry Reasoner who died about a year after this broadcast.

@@kamuelalee Yes Kamu, you're right, Harry Reasoner joins them too. I mostly remember Harry Reasoner and Howard K. Smith doing the evening news. Those were the days Kamu, and good days they were. I still enjoy watching 60 minutes though.

The real sadness is that todays so-called journalists are not fit to shine their shoes. Those guys asked questions . Today’s journalists are busy answering their own questions . Thank God Rushdie has lived to continue the battle for the right to freedom of expression.

Ironically, Rushdie is alive and well.

Why can't awesome live forever 😥

Yes, he kept trying to force his own more extreme opinions on him. It was annoying

It was just a thought in your head ...so the FBI will not put you behind the bar. Try to have more humane thoughts next time instead of feeling guilty.

The show always had multiple stories, so they are just highlighting one that would have appeared.

that Salman Rushdie was attacked is horrible

Indeed. A great mind can make an eloquent distinction but unfortunately most people are too lazy to actually think of where the real issue is. Humans are too emotional for their own good.

the fatwa was inacted by a religious leader not a politician

Islam has been at war with every country it neighbours for the last 1400 years, what are you on about? Islam IS the problem, and absolutely deserves criticism. Their whole religion needs reforming, but it can't, because according to them, the words in their book, are the literal word of God. Which they can't go against. It needs to be all the way over there, way way over there. Away from Western CIVILISATION. Multiculturalism does not work.

They did

Moderate Muslims are the ones who are surrounded and outgunned.

@IIOO If anything the theocracy has only gotten stronger. Khomeini has had a stranglehold on Iran for thirty years. They worshipped him like a God then. He truly is a supreme leader.

Iran did have a democratically elected parliament until 1954 when the US and UK backed a coup that overthrew them and put the Shah back in power because it was fear Iran would become too friendly with the USSR. The US built Iran's nuclear program under a program called "Atoms for Peace" in the 1950s and 60s. It all blew up in their face when the Shah was overthrown in 1979 and the religious fanatics won the power struggle and turned Iran into a theocracy.

It's about Islam as whole and not any one country .

I found a new scientific miracle in the Holy Quran which shows that the Holy Quran is the words of God. I will talk about the perfect correlation between God's clock based on the 7th heaven and the Human's clock based on the earth. It is mentioned in the Holy Quran that the ages of the universe and the earth are 6 and 2 days respectively in the time frame based on the 7th heaven. One can calculate the ratio of the universe to that of the earth as follows: R = age of the universe/age of the earth = 6 days / 2 days = 3 On the other hand we know that the dynamic age of the universe is 13.77 billion years and the radiometric age of the earth is 4.55 billion years in the time frame based on the earth. One can calculate the ratio of the age of the universe to that of the earth as follows: R = age of the universe/ age of the earth = 13.77 billion years / 4.55 billion years = 3.04 The coincidence between the values of the ratios of the age of the universe to that of the earth in both reference frames means that the God's clock based on the 7th heaven and the Human's clock based on the earth is in perfect correlation. This is because time is not absolute but rather relative as predicted by Einstein's special relativity. It also means that the earth was created for the first time when the age of the universe was 2/3 of its age today in both reference frames based on the 7th heaven and the earth. We learn from this fact that the Holy Quran is the words of Allah and Mohammed (PBUH) is His last messenger. But only Allah knows best.

Waste of money

Why is that !!!!!

Nobody cares actually

@@generaljg4373 You care enough to comment on all his videos. Did he hurt your fragile feelings?

​@@generaljg4373definitely not jihadists

It’s an overrated book. Nothing special, The only thing memorable about the book is the insults about the prophets family other than that it’s a pretty lame book. He really know how to cash in

@@americafirst834 Civilized societies are there because of thought control.

@@americafirst834 I was actually gonna check it out from the library to read but then I read a couple of reviews saying the exact same thing you just did. People saying its poorly written, atrocious grammar, poor story telling lol I decided against it 😆

@@A_T__ this idea you didn't read it because someone said it had bad grammar sounds completely ludacris. haha. listen to the man speak for 10 seconds you can hear straight away he is a capable writer. you might do well to change who you are reading you seem to be reading the wrong material obviously

@@harkmay You spelt ludicrous incorrectly its not spelt the same way as the rapper.

"Setting aside whether what he did was wrong or right" wow

you are ignoring the premise of the book

Rushdie did nothing wrong

@@oishikhasan8500 He did nothing wrong but poking the bear with a bunch of zealots-what would be the outcome of that? Dumb thing to do. Was it wrong? No. Was it smart? No. Not with those folks. But, for all it's worth. I think he's got balls.

@@moreofawave the only dumb ones are the zealots whose protests, calls for punishment and violence only made Rushdie’s book more visible. They have done far more damage to the image of their religion than Rushdie could have done in a thousand lifetimes

I should mention in the beginning two noble verses in the Holy Quran which teaches us that there are 7 heavens and 7 orbits one above another lying in a flat space. Let us start with chapter 78 verse 12 in the Holy Quran which tells us what means: "And Constructed above you seven strong (heavens)". This noble verse among many others teaches us that there are 7 heavens. Then let us see the surat al Muminun verse 17 in the Holy Quran which tells us what means: "And indeed, We (Allah) Created above you 7 levels (roads). We (Allah) Are never unmindful of (Our creation)". This noble verse teaches us that there are 7 roads of the heavens. When taken together, the above-mentioned noble verses teach us that there are 7 universes like balls moving in 7 orbits and lying in a flat space. On the other hand, there are additional noble verses in the Holy Quran that teach us that the orbit of our universe is not circular but instead elliptical. This is because these nobles' verses tell us that there are two extreme travel distances between the earth and the 7th heaven: In one case it is mentioned in surat Maarij chapter 70 verse 4 in the Holy Quran that the time needed for the Angles and holy spirits to ascend from the earth to the 7th heaven takes a Day in the time frame based on the 7th heaven which corresponds to 50000 years in the time frame based on the earth. In the other case it is mentioned in surat al Sajeda chapter 32 verse 5 in the Holy Quran that the time needed for the commanded affair to ascend from the earth to the 7th heaven takes a Day in Allah's clock which corresponds to 1000 years in the Human's clock based on the earth. The Quran's description of the flatness of the cosmos is perfectly consistent with the standard cosmological model, representing a new scientific miracle of the Holy Quran. As you see there is no contradiction between the noble's verses in the Holy Quran and these noble's verses majestically complete each other. This proves that the Holy Quran is the words of God and the noble prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the last messenger of God. But only Allah knows best.

Did you even study Islam??

Everyone is as bad as each other.just chill out

What? I'm not even Muslim but the point is going over your head. The "Satanic verses" is not a reference to actual 'satanic' verses present within the Quran. You don't even understand the context.
