Did you read it? I did. And mabye things did escape me as I am a westerner, but the book was told from the west's percpective and the character of Mahound was ridiculed, but as the book progresses you see that Mahound is the sympathic character. It becomes clear that he is made to look bad through a flawed perspective. Again, mabye i did miss something, and there are a few critisicims of Islam, not attacks. I thought the book targeted Britian and the west as the bad guys. This book, like the Last Temptation of Christ, to me anyway, were works of a faithful person trying explore their own faith in a non traditional way.
Also keep in mind I am an atheist so again, it is hard to insult me in that aspect.
Also, no one called a Fatwa against Martin Scorsesi...
