I know people're getting turned off by the word 'satanic' here more than the fact that it's Rushdie, but still... I should clarify that a lot of the people around here seem to be a particularly nasty breed of southern baptist. I'm not trying to say anything about most southern baptists, or christians in general, but the people around here seem to act as though their mindset is, "Agree completely or your ass is going to hell." You know the kind, even if you're not one of them.

I have encouraged some of my friends to read it too, it's fairly fantastic reading, but so far I've only got one who's actually decided to.

I've refrained from beating anybody yet over this issue. But if I start to think it's necessary to protect the freedom to read by force, I'm coming out swinging.
