In response to Rushdie\u0026#39;s story of the prophet Muhammad, who succumbs to earthly pleasures, and to the more general criticism of religious fanaticism in the book, Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini uttered a \u0026#39;fatwā\u0026#39; (legal decree) in 1989, on both writer and publishers of \u003cem\u003eThe Satanic Verses\u003c/em\u003e declaring the book blasphemous. Rushdie had to go into hiding and was placed under police protection. Over the years, a number of people have been killed as a result of this \u0026#39;fatwā\u0026#39;. While obviously, religion is addressed, Rushdie has always emphasised that migration is the main theme of the book.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Satanic Verses\u003c/em\u003e begins with two Indian actors, Djibriel Farishta and Saladin Chamcha, who fall from the sky after a hijacked plane has exploded. They both survive the fall and end up in England. In the course of the story, the main characters transform into, respectively, the Archangel Gabriel and the Devil. The story is written out of the feelings of uprooting, alienation and change that migration entails. Saladin Chamcha tries to give himself and his transformativity a place in a homogeneous country that sees him as a threat to its cherished monoculture. Rushdie presents his hybrid characters \u0026ndash; who have split cultural identities, or are trapped between different cultures \u0026ndash; as advocates of a diverse, ambiguous and heterogeneous world.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp paraeid=\"{0afce492-b928-407d-a47c-12cfdfcf8b12}{182}\" paraid=\"1739754070\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe\u0026nbsp;Satanic\u0026nbsp;Verses\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;(De Duivelsverzen) is het bekendste en meest controversi\u0026euml;le boek van de Brits-Indiase schrijver Salman Rushdie (1947). Naar aanleiding van manier waarop Rushdie de profeet Mohammed in het verhaal laat zwichten voor de aardse genoegens en de meer algemene kritiek op religieus fanatisme in het boek sprak de Iraanse leider Ayatollah\u0026nbsp;Khomeini\u0026nbsp;in 1989 een \u0026lsquo;fatwa\u0026rsquo; \u0026ndash; een wettelijke bepaling \u0026ndash; uit over de schrijver en de uitgevers van\u003cem\u003e\u0026nbsp;The\u0026nbsp;Satanic\u0026nbsp;Verses\u003c/em\u003e. Rushdie moest onderduiken en werd onder politiebescherming geplaats. In de loop van de jaren werden een aantal mensen vermoord als gevolg van deze \u0026lsquo;fatwa\u0026rsquo;. Hoewel religie uiteraard aan bod komt, heeft Rushdie altijd benadrukt dat migratie het belangrijkste thema van het boek is.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp paraeid=\"{0afce492-b928-407d-a47c-12cfdfcf8b12}{214}\" paraid=\"171397149\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe\u0026nbsp;Satanic\u0026nbsp;Verses\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;begint met twee Indiase acteurs,\u0026nbsp;Djibriel\u0026nbsp;Farishta\u0026nbsp;en\u0026nbsp;Saladin\u0026nbsp;Chamcha, die uit de lucht vallen na de ontploffing van een gekaapt vliegtuig.

Het verhaal is geschreven vanuit gevoelens van ontworteling, vervreemding en verandering die migratie met zich meebrengt.\u0026nbsp;Saladin\u0026nbsp;Chamcha\u0026nbsp;probeert zichzelf en zijn veranderlijkheid een plaats te geven in een homogeen land dat hem ziet als een bedreiging voor de gekoesterde monocultuur. De hybride personages\u0026ndash; die een gespleten culturele identiteit hebben, of gevangen zitten tussen verschillende culturen \u0026ndash; voert Rushdie op als pleitbezorgers van een diverse, ambigue en heterogene wereld.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Satanic Verses\u003c/em\u003e (\u0026laquo; Les Versets sataniques \u0026raquo;) est le livre le plus connu et le plus controvers\u0026eacute; de l\u0026rsquo;\u0026eacute;crivain britanno-indien Salman Rushdie (1947). Dans ce livre, Rushdie met notamment en sc\u0026egrave;ne le proph\u0026egrave;te Mohammed comme c\u0026eacute;dant aux plaisirs terrestres et donne une critique d\u0026rsquo;ordre plus g\u0026eacute;n\u0026eacute;rale du fanatisme religieux. Pour cette raison, en 1989, l\u0026rsquo;ayatollah Khomeini, dirigeant de l\u0026rsquo;Iran, a \u0026eacute;dict\u0026eacute; une \u0026laquo; fatwa \u0026raquo; (d\u0026eacute;cret religieux) \u0026agrave; l\u0026rsquo;encontre de l\u0026rsquo;auteur et des \u0026eacute;diteurs des Versets sataniques.

Cette \u0026laquo; fatwa \u0026raquo; a entrain\u0026eacute; la mort de plusieurs personnes au fil des ans. Bien qu\u0026rsquo;on y parle bien s\u0026ucirc;r de religion, Rushdie a toujours insist\u0026eacute; sur le fait que le th\u0026egrave;me principal de son livre est la migration.\u003cem\u003e The Satanic Verses\u003c/em\u003e s\u0026rsquo;ouvrent sur deux acteurs indiens, Gibreel Farishta et Saladin Chamcha, qui tombent du ciel apr\u0026egrave;s l\u0026rsquo;explosion d\u0026rsquo;un avion d\u0026eacute;tourn\u0026eacute;. Ils survivent tous deux \u0026agrave; cette chute et finissent par arriver en Angleterre. Au cours de l\u0026rsquo;histoire, les personnages principaux se transforment, l\u0026rsquo;un en l\u0026rsquo;archange Gabriel, l\u0026rsquo;autre en le diable.
