Description
Almost thirty years ago, the image of burning copies of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses held aloft by thousand-strong mobs of protestors became an internationally familiar symbol of anger and offence.
In From Fatwa to Jihad, Kenan Malik examines how the Rushdie affair transformed the debate worldwide on multiculturalism, tolerance and free speech, helped fuel the rise of radical Islam and pointed the way to the horrors of 9/11 and 7/7.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Kenan Malik's From Fatwa to Jihad is praised for being a gripping and thorough examination of the Rushdie Affair and its impact on contemporary freedom of expression debates. It is highlighted for its impeccable research and detailed political history of modern Britain, with reviewers commending its sharp analysis and intelligent reportage. The book's relevance to current events and the deft handling of political Islam's complexities are particularly noted.
