Never took place! For God's sake, anyone who isn't well versed in Islamic hadith really should avoid bringing this one up. The authenticity of the narrative recounting this event was refuted by professional Islamic scholars, including al-Albani, a leading figure in Islamic studies during the twentieth century.
Please listen to Islamic scholars and be skeptical when reading some ex-Muslim kid. It's really that simple.
More misconceptions to come very soon.
You mean the incident where muslim clerics ordered the death of Salman Rushdie for writing a book, and he had to flee for his life from zealots like you?
Not a misconception.
And frankly that is all you need to know about islam (and frankly all you would have needed to know about christianity when it wielded the same kind of power).
The actual text of the fatwa reads...
"We are from Allah and to Allah we shall return. I am informing all brave Muslims of the world that the author of The Satanic Verses, a text written, edited, and published against Islam, the Prophet of Islam, and the Qur'an, along with all the editors and publishers aware of its contents, are condemned to death. I call on all valiant Muslims wherever they may be in the world to kill them without delay, so that no one will dare insult the sacred beliefs of Muslims henceforth. And whoever is killed in this cause will be a martyr, Allah Willing. Meanwhile if someone has access to the author of the book but is incapable of carrying out the execution, he should inform the people so that [Rushdie] is punished for his actions."
Nice religion of peace.
