Looking back on the past,
Haaretz interviews Salman Rushdie, who discusses the
upcoming film adaptation of Midnight's Children, analyzes the
Arab Spring, and reflects on the
controversy caused by the publication of
The Satanic Verses: "
British Airways refused to accept Rushdie as a passenger, fearing the plane would be blown up in midair. A Pakistani film portrayed the writer as a pro-Israel alcoholic who murders Muslims. British censorship prevented the film's screening, but Rushdie, always a fierce advocate of freedom of expression, demanded that it be shown."
Previously on MeFi: Rushdie (2, 3); Haaretz.
