Salman Rushdie is prescient. The tensions in the author’s latest novel are the same as many of those playing out on the front pages of newspapers today.
Rushdie says that the conflict between progressive and repressive forms of religion lies at the core of "Two Years, Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights".
“At the time that I wrote this book I’d never heard of Al Baghdadi or ISIS,” Rushdie told FRANCE 24. “In a strange way I invented this clash as a fictitious clash and then had the strange experience of watching it happen in real life…I’m really sorry that this book ended up coming true, but it did.”
Ever the provocateur, Rushdie suggests in the book that it is time to outgrow religion the way children outgrow their need for their parents.
“Yes, I think it’s time to stop living with our parents,” Rushdie told FRANCE 24. “There’s something a little unhealthy about grown-up people who go on living with their mother and father.”

He is someone who have balls to say the truth and not being afraid to be called Islamophobia, rasist etc like many westerners
I totally agree with him about all religions. You don't need religion to have faith and connection.
Indeed you don't even need faith to be a decent person. Faith is just believing without a reason. We don't need that.
YOU don't need religion. Most people do. Each to their own.
Salman Rushdie is one of the great minds of our society; like Christopher Hitchens, language is such a joy when he speaks and writes it.
The reaction to the Satanic Verses was the canary in the mine...we ignored that, now we are suffering the consequences!
Your comment has been validated time and time again
Rushdie you are A genius

What about Sikhism?Is it that wonder that you pretend to be?
@Dolly Khan Jalti kitni hai tm logo kee... Fake relegion ke Fake follower !
better to call evil genius
Not at all. Lol
This man is my all time favorite. You are best man salman
ARSALAN HE WILL FETCH U HELL ! FOLLOW HIM 😈👹👺
You are with who you love in the next world.
Salman Rushdie is a phenomenon of our beloved world today. He must be welcome to all of us human beings here on Earth. We want the Nobel Prize for Literature for him this year only. It's too much injustice with the brilliant author now
I agree fully with the notion that religion in general poses a problem to humanity today, my motto, religion should be your own personal thing, be free to express it but LET IT NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR other people, let it not affect other people's lives.
Agreed...
Salman Rushdie is so brilliant a speaker as he is an author ! He is one of the best fighting warriors for the entire human beings as well by dint of his revolutionary thoughts and ideas ! He must be awarded with the Nobel Prize for Literature this year only. It's too late now. He will be 75 next week only.
One should recognise that there is a problem, before tackling the problem. Most Muslims think that there is nothing wrong with their religion, and it doesn't need any reform. you responded well to the interviewer, he seems to think that the problem lays with one religion, but not other's.
I do not think there is anybody in contemporary history who can write English prose like him. Extraordinary. If anybody deserves the Nobel Lit it is him
This man wants to remove Cancer, but the people don't want it removed.This is pathetic.
But, people want this person removed instead of the cancer... Bizarre!
Abhinav Tiwari the only cancer to the whole world is zionism
HE ABHINAV U ARE HAVING BRAIN CANCER U WANT ME TO REMOVE IT 😪😔😖🙉
Funny how Indians are talking crap about Islam. Idolators like yourself don’t know jack about abrahamic religions .
A brilliant man who writes impenetrable novels, sad to say. I could listen to him talk all day but his books are stuffed with metaphors and references that only other people raised where and how he was would understand.
I agree. I am fortunate to have been raised in places and locations similar to his, and as I read his books I always wonder how others, such as yourself, take to his allegories.
If you haven't read it, I'd recommend Fury, as an accessible Rushdie novel. The Enchantress of Florence is also pretty ... 'universal'?
Kamal Badri
any special reasons to bring indians here? more hate is coming to you. learn to live with it.
But that's sort of the beauty of it-- his novels are a synthesis of Eastern mythology and Western rationalism. It's, as the boring saying goes, "the best of both worlds".
+Nishchay Bhuta Because Salman Rushdie is Indian.
He should receive the Noble price.
NOBEL
A Noble price is better
PRIZE
backto1960
The prize is even better.
Guaranteed in the next couple of years.
Salman Rushdie is a hero.
and I don't think anyone including him can ever comprehend the number of people he has inspired in his life.
Brilliant commentary by Salman!
i love you salman rushti ..you did a great job
He's a brilliant speaker
Humanity must evolve from religions ,it is unfortunately still being used to manipulate it.
I had bought his book 2 years , 8 months and 28 days and it got stolen -_-
They stole by backpack and in i had this book and 1984 by Jeorge Orwel .... it made me soooooooooo mad !!!!
Im gonna have to re buy them now and since im a student and money is tight it will be tough
Heisenberg115 don't say. I few years ago I was the proud owner of a collection of books. My own personal library. For reasons beyond my control I had to renounce to it. I ended giving all of them to charity. To his day it still hurts.
Yes the idea of women having to cover up is sexist and oppressive. However the concept of the burkini is more complicated than that. If you as yourself the question: "Do you think women who go to the beach in burkinis are asserting more or less independence than before it was invented? Is it more progressive to tell women to be wear swimsuits and show some skin because they obviously have no agency. Their men control them and it would be better if the state controlled them? It is possible for women to have sexist beliefs also and it is very much their right to hold these beliefs as long as they don't apply it to others by force.
97 PEOPLE who gave it thumbs down are naturally radical Islamic
Thanks Salman Rushdie you r real tiger of india
Fanboy here from Mumbai, his own city.
The Great Salman.
The Muslims wanted to make Salman over rice out of him.
Brilliant, the world needs to grow up
I can't wait for the day miss America gets asked what would you do to achieve world peace,and she answers.
I would get rid off all religions.
Elie Duguay that would be amazing
Elie. I cannot wait for the day which you check your text before you hit "send".
How?
The history of mankind is littered with many different religions that came and went. In due course and as man continues to progress, Islam will also fade into history, joining the Gods of the Greeks, the Mayans, the Romans, the Egyptians and so on.
I think the idea of equating religion with living with the parents is flawed. I have two elderly parents who can't take care of themselves anymore and I made a choice to live with them. Yes, old people can be very fixed in their thoughts but you can't allow them to dictate your thinking. Listen to what they say, process it and then decide if it's right.
Most people get their religion from their parents and tie their religious identity to their parents. It’s a very common perception to not differentiate between the two, hence why people refer to religion as if it is an entity, because their religion is their parents.
why Rushdi is always criticising Islam and not other religions
@shatter gee This is your opinion as you are from other religion
@meister hl Muslims are against him and want but all other Muslims counters Nener ask officially later Iran also withdrawal the Fatwa however Muslims are against him because he was from Muslims so called family had he denounced Islam and announced by changing his name from Salman Rushdi to like other Name then No body may know and did not uses Muslims names or characters in his Book .all human must respect sentiments of all religions as Muslims do and may not make joke of other religions .It is common practice among westerns countries to make joke of their and other religions but Muslims never do make joke of nay religion and specially respect all prophets of religion of Ibrahim (Hebrew ).We must respect all religions and their place of worships that is teaching of Islam .Salman Rushdi has done bad act he could have not used the religious traditions to make part of his Novels .We have similiar case of Ahamadees who call them selves Muslims but have different Point of view of Last Prophet if they announce that their religion is not Islam then there is no Issue .
"….I think it is a thing the human race needs to grow out of….." I must; it will; it is in the some of the more civilised countries.
What a legend!
Wish he was my father, sigh!

nothing wrong with living with your parents, living on your own in a stone built house doesnt make you a better or a worse person...stupid thing to say and hes supposed to be a intellectual.
i agree
how that he been writer author for so many books in what way he works on people mind and work , did he have experts for observing people mind or using technology tools to observe today technique to rise social issues that keeps him observe what he wants to execute and potray to his region or any religion
Blud puts lies about Islam in his book
then gets mad that Extremists attacked him for putting lies.
*"SURPRISED PIKACHU FACE."*
May u live long enough for ur fiction
generalization is a language of ignorance, his whole Idea about the hijab and burkaa are a bit inconvenient, I understand where it comes from giving the Idea that he lived in a place of a male dominance , but no not all women wear them because a man told the to do so and It's an accusation that I refuse. No rules regrading how a person should look like externally should ever be applied. And the fact that some male intellectuals think that the know what women should or shouldn't do as a way of defending her rights is it self a joke.
Nobel is not noble.
He has come out of the other end even more stronger. The storm in his book could easily be 9/11. Someone, please hand me some ahyuwasca.
Salman Khan you are sick
His speech here is not academic in nature, just highly emotional and opinionated and based on western values which are obviously depraved and corrupt.
bla bla bla
