Let the world hear Salman Rushdie and realize for themselves how genius an author he is. And why not the Nobel Prize for Literature. for such a great writer.
What three assholes don't like Salman Rushdie? He's one of the most intelligent, charming, and benevolent human beings on the planet; what's not to like?
Enjoy his humor. Amazed by his layered technic of writing style. His way of speaking, tone of voice. I wish my brother could have read and known his world. Chris Schaller 1984😢
Oof, when he talks about not getting to write the death memoir, that felt just so strange to hear him say now that he has done just that, or as close as anyone can get. Just thankful he is still alive and still kicking
Speaking of recipes Salman looks a lot like salmon so I am wondering if you have ant salmon recipes. How about a salmon fish story. Seriously you are my favorite writer now having surpassed James Joyce.
That's scholarship beckoning: the mannerisms,freewheeling use of language,masterful use of words and enthronement of fine culture.This reminds me of the intellectual atmosphere as a student of history (the pride of the humanities) in my university days.The tyranny of technology has almost completely destroyed that refined culture that this sort of education and grooming produced.Look at what's going on in the social media,for example! Is that also civilisation? May be we need a second age of renaissance.
I think it's one of those issues that has both sides feeling embattled and defensive, and that's why the belittling or dismissive noises come out. Maybe it's hard to imagine a real middle position -- people think they will be forced into one extreme or the other, defended to the teeth against their will and feeling unsafe with it, or else deprived of any arms at all and feeling defenseless. Especially life or death issues involving a school. So a calm discussion of the best measure gets swamped.
I certainly don't believe he is infallible, nor am I a conventional "fan." Sharp and intuitive as he is, he miscalculated badly about the fatwah that was declared on him some years ago, for example. I can see why the remarks here that you object to are potentially irritating in tone, being a little touched with ridicule. A lot of people agree with his basic stance, though.
“Satanic Verses” revealed discrepancies in that “faith”. However why so many similarities with Christ, and his followers.. how he prayed, rituals and teachings- commandments all very similar. Yet fundamentally different?
You will give an intelligent talk that lasts an hour and fifteen minutes a thumbs-down because of a few comments you don't agree with? Is that perhaps a little rigid? Or are you one of those people who see the whole world through gun-colored glasses?
Allah says in his koran that he is a deceiver Muhammad said he dosent know what Allah will do with in other words hes not saved Jesus gives us the spirit of truth that we are saved and have peace with God.

He is fabulous
Magnificent. Thank you.
Thanks for uploading this video.
A wonderful rational person
I love it that he discusses Fitzgerald....

Wow what a conversation
Now I am high
Get well soon Salman Parsi. 💝
agreed! although he did undermine a lot of the Qu'ran (so I can see why people have demonised him) although it's a pity because he's fabulous.
there is no evidence that he ever demonised any religious book.

might have been his ex-wives?
Why are you jostling to comment?
