[SheStillRuns]

The interviewer thankfully wasn't lame. Good job.

[SheStillRuns]

I love the way your elegant hands dance as you speak.

[SheStillRuns]

well Rush, she wasn't talking about books in general, but YOUR books, when she asked whether there'll be an audience 20 years from now. (Well, I think there will be, but that's besides the point).

[wrxibz]

[techtrix313]

[DiCkRiChArDz]

[chocolateboy1206]

i've never interested in him before,.but he's amazing,.

[SAAGAR08]

Celebrity culture is just an extension of personality cults in any sphere,and for that matter pantheism, monotheism and idolatry.......i guess, or probably it is true (i am not sure because i am not a biologist) 'follow the leader' is something genetic......but that is not to say that we cant change it....we surely can!

[ripmyoldacc]

People would do everything to get richer. Same applies to Rushdie.

[THEKRIA]

death to murtad like suleiman kafir rushdi

lannat lannat lannat

[xPEACHxEATERx]

Pack of fukn nutters... Killing? Space-gods? Really?! Go have a look out your window and ask yourself where you're getting this shit from.. The leaves on the trees, the water in a puddle...or some other fukn nutter? Go and get laid you pent-up halfwits. :)

[rbx22]

he´s together with a 25 year old young model

i mean after all he just provokated with this theories and caused lots of innocent ppl deaths .... after all noone needs this bs .. ppl are religious so leave them alone

western ppl are nuts

[kittycatcarley]

I love him.

[GaiusIuliusTaberna]

Death to religious fundamentalist theocratic fascists... long live the first amendment of the US constitution. That is all I have to say.

[slovakmath]

27:34 - 28:01 go Salman! he's my man!

[kittycatcarley]

@slovakmath hell yeah!

[kittycatcarley]

@slovakmath he kicks ass with his brain.

[AcccountDisabled]

This guy rushdie looks like "Baphomet"

[energycondensed]

he is the man

[RealMusicKing]

Kuffar and supporters of Kuffars have always hated God and his Messengers. It's nothing new. Look at this woman? She looks like a hermaphrodite in a dress and Rushdie looks like a pre-historic animals rectum sitting on a stool.

[GaiusIuliusTaberna]

@RealMusicKing And you sound like a semi literate troglodyte with a holy book that you've never read and a brain that you've never used. Go spew your fascist, homophobic, misogynistic, bronze age goat herding crap elsewhere.

[jumpnjza2]

"My relationship with Persia also not good"

BAHAHAHA.LOL.

[kurdatheist]

People had access to the internet in the late 80s?

[iamaloserinlife]

y is the woman grinning when he is making such insightful points.

proud of Sir salman rushdie

[hmu7]

You rich people are so funny!

[kudalaMangalooru]

Salman Rushdie is brilliant! And that interviewer girl is hot!!

[makorpoka]

Salman rushdie called Americans motherfucking,British sisterfucking? and all white women bitch.He also abused with hideous slangs many countries and respectful American and English leaders and women.He used many more slangs for the western world and insulted many religious diets of Hinduism and respectful women, leaders and angels of Christianity and Islam in this book "Satanic Verses.The word 'FUCK' appears 63 times,'BITCH' 10 times and BASTARD 49 times.Please read the book Satanic Verses.

[toshiamata]

Rushdie is a devil, a criminal with bloods on his hands, he deserve to die for all his crimes!!! The fatwa is still on his head  ALLAH OU AKBAR!

[moiphx2]

I am the devil, my friend.

[kurdatheist]

what crime exactly?

[toshiamata]

the crime of being respounsible for the death than more than 100 people.

Rushdie lived in pakistan, he knew that writing such a book will lead to a death sentence against him, he didn't respect the law of this country and it is very sad. he is also respounsible of many crimes with writing that "white women or for f...ing and throwing over", they read it in public in usa and some guys rape a white women because of what they heard, look at the newspaper, rushdie is the devil of the 21 century!

[GaiusIuliusTaberna]

@toshiamata You are a brainwashed lunatic who I hope is never permitted residence in the USA, you'd probably blow up a building here, or throw acid is some poor school girls face.

I wouldn't wish you on the Islamic world either, after all its fundamentalist nonsense like this that is the cause of war, poverty, and misery in the middle east.

[toshiamata]

@GaiusIuliusTaberna It's you the brainwashed by thos atheists and satanists, Nobody has the right to insult Islam,Judais,Christianity or Bouudhism, it doesn't matter what religion is, we have to respect each other, Rushdie is a criminal according to the islamic law it's a fact. Your commentary about Islam shows how brainwashed you are by the medias about Islam, islam has nothing to do with throw acid on school girls!!

[GaiusIuliusTaberna]

@toshiamata Um... actually I do have the right to insult Islam, its called the first amendment of the US constitution. It gives me the right to say whatever the hell I wish to say and would if you happened to be on american soil give you the same right. The UN largely being based on the same age of enlightenment ideals present in the US constitution also maintains freedom of speech.

I would go on about how absurd it is for you to call me brainwashed but there is a character limit.

[toshiamata]

@GaiusIuliusTaberna - If you are not a muslim and not do it in public, do whatever you like, the problem is that rushdie came from the muslim community so he is an apostate and a blasphemer, because he knew exactly what he was doing, I respect all religions and all kind of culture but I thank that insulting someone's religion is not a good answering to extremism and it will lead to increase the gap that already exist between our cultures, if you want peace you should respect anybody..

[GaiusIuliusTaberna]

@toshiamata You are right I'm not a Muslim, I was a catholic however and rest assured I bash the catholic church just as often as I attack Islamic leaders for their absurd pronouncements. However I have to intervene where apostasy is concerned because I am an apostate. If the catholic church was as powerful as it used to be, I'd probably be targeted for death too. I don't care what you think, you can't kill people because you dislike their opinion.

Blasphemy is not a crime in the west anymore.

[toshiamata]

@GaiusIuliusTaberna - So it is not the same case as salman rushdie, in christianity you can leave your religion without any consequences, in Islam and the Chariah it's not the same. The fact is that the S.Verses is an insult not a critic about Islam, nobody has the right to insult or Vilify the holy prophet peace be upon him. So stop defending this ugly man, I do not believe in christianity or Indouism, however i will not allow myself to insult the beliefs of the indouists or christians

[GaiusIuliusTaberna]

@toshiamata If you want to kill him, then you are going to have to fight the British military and hopefully the american military... You are welcome to try... you'll fail, but you can try...

You need to understand that your laws don't apply to me, him, or anyone other than you and people who think the way you think. If you think god is going to straiten us out, then let him strike me with lightning from a flying Koran in some god-awful movie. Like the one that Rushdie defended about him...

[toshiamata]

@GaiusIuliusTaberna - when did I say that i have the right to kill you??? you are totally brainwashed, I've only said that according to Islam a person like Rushdie deserve the death sentence like the khomeiny's fatwa, and I've always said that this fatwa could not be implement in a non muslim country..

I know that the sharia can't be apply in America, Britain or france which I came from, this is not a reason to vilify or slander a religion or a Prophet, it's a matter of respect.

[toshiamata]

the crime of being respounsible for more than 100 people killed of his writing. he lived in pakistan, a muslimcountry where is forbidden to touch the holy koran or the holy prophet, he knew that writing such a book will lead to very strong reactions? according to the islamic law he deserve to die.

[kurdatheist]

@toshiamata

Screw Islamic Law

[GaiusIuliusTaberna]

@toshiamata And he fled that backward hell hole of a country for that very reason. Its because Pakistan is a Muslim country that its poor, corrupt, and overrun by fascists, thugs, and suicide bombers. You can't run a society out of a holy book, it doesn't matter what book that happens to be.

You also can't have a modern society and kill people for saying something you don't like. But then that's the point I suppose, to avoid modernity and to bring back the middle ages.

[moiphx2]

I have, it's a great read. Very funny, very intelligent, a wonderful piece of writing.

[belzondium]

14:09 He's right about the Chinese government... those bastards are truly disgusting.

[suavideo]

He looks like devil's advocate. Especially his eyebrows give him away. :D

[lisa25mona]

you meddleeast are wrong soooo wrong.

think!

[patinsufi]

THE BOOK "JESUS IN INDIA" WRITTEN BY HADHRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD THE PROMISED MESSIAH (peace be upon him). HADHRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD (peace be upon him) WROTE THIS BOOK IN APRIL 1896.

[theeexcellence]

The person who uttered a blasphemy about Allah, the Prophet, and Quran said something about his parents and how they brought him up. Such are the people who could call names to even their parents, they are completely stripped of respect and intelligence. He represents utter, satanic non-sense and being excellingly obtuse and dunce, and unbearable extremism. If we hear someday that someone committed incest would surely be one of his tribe. He signifies lack of knowledge about how to speak.

[Middleeastern2010]

Fuck Islam, Mohammed, Quran and Allah attogether at once.

[kasimgul]

LoL. Middleeastern2010 I can understand if you swear to Islam but when you swear to God, It's cover all other religions aswell. So its kind irony, because if you are an atheist, you should talk about the "religion" idea! But if you are a christian, then you are a stupid kid who do not know the mean of Allah in english.

[Middleeastern2010]

i am not christian, you are an idiot, you did not read my comment very well, Allah means God or the only God, and is the arabic name for God.

I used allah rather than God because Muslim or Islam God is more cruel than other God, I am an atheist i dont believe in God, but i want to attach that figure or the mythical figures that is known in Quran as God/Allah, i know there is not such being, but i wanted to annoy islamists bigots.

[wranglerRoy]

I don't know who you are; but you should first of all show ettiquates while commenting on someone; because whatever you are and where you are from is clearly visible by your wordings and also your abusive language is reflecting your family background. First of all get some knowledge and then say anything about it. May Allah give you Hidayat.amin

[Middleeastern2010]

No Thanks, i dont want the so called Allah's mercy, i dont believe in his existence. and if he existed then curse be upon him. God/ allah is the most dirty thing one can imagine.

[docmandxb]

yo mama is a whore :-D she sucked big time heheh

[Middleeastern2010]

you are son of a bitch, your mam was fucked by Mohammadan invader,

Pakistan was islamized by terror and force, you are an ignorant go and read neutral history, but not ismalic distorted version of history.

All i can say is that your Mama, sister and wife are sucking dicks like bitches under tents.

[merhaba234]

oh fuck, go degrade women to insult each other!! both of you are sick idiots!

[saleemdaminoobbbb]

allah will make u understand

[sammy97211]

How sad that the dumbest videos ever made will get millions of views, but a discussion with the preeminent writer of our time and a representative of freedom of expression for writers can barely net 4,000 views. He makes such great points, I hope the Google execs were taking notes.

[30mate]

fuck you ?

[infectedlobe]

abook sheitan

[ElCid4321]

Thank you Salman Rushdie for exposing what a vile, evil and shitty religion Islam really is. You are right when you said that Islam is the least huggable of all the major religions. I think that the Internet will be the death of the religion of Islam. Only the Internet is capable of exposing how vile and evil Islam really is. Take what happened when YouTube decided to show the anti-Islam movie called Fitna. Muslim countries like Indonesia, Malasia, Saudi Arabia and other decided to ban YouTube.

[Bartskibeat]

@ElCid4321 Anyone must have the right to freedom of speech & to express an informed point of view. If it is insulting , ...so what? Anyone must have the right to freedom , self determination & to insult the hell out of me. To be offended by criticisms of religion says that the beliefs in question are very insecure.

[tedaze]

Rushdie is such a an insightful guy! I have just finished his book 'Midnights Children' and its one of the top three books i have ever read.

[AllahsCreation]

Salman Rushdie is a lier and an idiot

[firds79]

satan!!

[td000]

bigot... please open ur eyes and decrease your ego... and the beauty of god will reveal the magic of day to day activities

[sultantubeyou]

SIR??? this tells you what a "nighthood" is all about!!!! lool

[desigal007]

LOL "SIR" SALMAN RUSHDIE

MAY THE CURSE ON YOU, YOU RE THE CHEAPEST PERSON ALIVE ON EARTH< TO GAIN FAME< YOU MISGUIDE THE WEST WORLD< AND INSULTED US.

WE WILL ALWAYS HATE YOU.

he might be a good writer by now with work; but he has hurt the feelings of billions of Muslims around the world.

[zamysleny7]

Well, he made quite a few of a very nice remarks (such as the impact of books on-line, evethough I disagree with him on this one). I like the video.

[lotfilms]

what a miserable man

[trumpettelly]

Google PennyShekels

[arshie]

this is what Rushdie writes for the Queen of Britain. "chamcha.....he found himself dreaming of the Queen, of making tender love to the Monarch. She was the body of Britain, the avatar of the State, and he had chosen her, joined with her; she was his Beloved, the moon of his delight.". Chamcha refers to the character of Rushdiie himself. Amazing, he writes about conjoining with the Queen and the Queen awards him with Knighthood. Amazing!!!

[4lKhidr]

maybe she likes him

[liomessi]

fuck u

[shamsherulhaq]

Sir Salman ... zindabaad!!!

[haseebjj]

U r dead man......

[anzakhn]

Son of bitch..........salman rushdi

[tiluu011]

It would be nice to debate with him because he is very shallow and one sided

[stollberger]

For me the most interesting and inspiring speech on the conference. Thank you Mr. Rushdie for the pleasure. Your children will be proud of you ;-).
