What is the Satanic Verses really about? Obviously the title is suggestive, but many books have titles that don't directly correspond to the contents ( Of Human Bondage comes immediately to mind). I was reading all the Modern Library's 100 best books, and Midnight Children by Rushdie was on there (I haven't read it yet) so I thought Satanic Verses might be a bit different from what the title suggests.
I don't think it's Rushdie that people are keying off of, but the word Satanic. IMO his others should be safe. Although for someone to try to hit you because of a book seems extreme.
