Book excerpt: "Taking the Ayatollah Khomeini's fatwa condemning Rushdie as his starting point, Kenan Malik examines how radical Islam gained hold in Muslim communities, how multiculturalism contributed to this process, and how the Rushdie affair transformed the very nature of the debate on tolerance and free speech. It is an original and vividly insightful account of one of the major historical punctuation marks of the last twenty-five years." -- Book cover.
