Have it on now. My eyes are starting to glaze over. The religious doctrine has gone over my head.
Prime time television used to be entertainment. Now this bigotry is taking over our society.
I have no racial prejudice but despair at what is happening in what was once my country.
I am seriously concearned as to what is happening in the Uk today and in the future, and we are sitting back and assuming it will work itself out?
As said earlier I have no religious or ethnic prejudice but it is becoming alarming.

I think there were two lessons from last night's programme. The first is that you aren't advised to parade Salman's book around significantly Muslim cities like Bradford and the second is that criticism of the other book will not be tolerated. I think they call it blasphemy.

I started reading at a friends house(cause it’s theirs)as I remember, it starts with a plane crash. All V unassuming, unless it was some form of metaphor for the fall of Satan

I read half of it and gave up. I was not sure if this was because I'm a bit thick, or the book was utter crap. I decided that both applied .

Never read it, tried Midnight's Children which is supposed to be his better work, gave up.
Watched the film version of Midnight's Children - saw it through to the end but very meh about it.
Over-rated author in my opinion.

.... actually just reading his latest book “Quichotte” which is a modern take on Don Quixote. As with a lot of his writing it involves American Indians (not Red, but subcontinental.) Interesting read so far
