A somewhat non-related question. Do you guys think a book like Rushdie's Satanic Verses would ever be printed today? I was thinking about this today morning.

- pjc50 8y agoYes, absolutely. The nearest parallel to Rushdie would be someone like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayaan_Hirsi_Ali https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayaan_Hirsi_Ali The challenge is probably getting something as subtle as Satanic Verses printed; there's a market for overt islamophobia, but they're not interested in analytical heretical views of actual muslims.
