Malala on Salman Rushdie


WHAT MALALA WROTE ABOUT SALMAN RUSHDIE & HIS BLASPHEMOUS BOOK:

We can ignore the issue of Malala Yousafzai but when some people fail to realize certain things, then it is hard to just sit back. First of all, Malala is too young to write her own book. The opportunists in the West have tried to cash in on this episode. About Salman Rushdie and his highly blasphemous book, she wrote (page 36-37), “It (The Satanic Verses) was a parody of the Prophet’s life set in Bombay (Naooz Billah). Muslims widely considered it blasphemous and it provoked so much outrage that it seemed people were talking of little else. My father also saw the book as offensive to Islam but believes strongly in freedom of speech." AND “Is Islam such a weak religion that it cannot tolerate a book written against it? Not my Islam,” she quoted her father as saying and shifted all the blame on what she called a “mullah close to our intelligence services” to have ignited the feeling of the people of Pakistan to protest."
