Vedic Horoscope for Rushdie, Salman
Indian writer, a Moslem famed for the condemnation by the Ayatollah of Iran along with his death sentence given on 2/14/1989, for writing his book "Satanic Verses," 1989. The Muslim community accused him of blasphemy over certain parts of the book, creating such a storm that a death contract was put out on him. Naturally the publicity created a best-seller as he fled incognito to England. The danger was real; his Japanese translator was murdered; his Italian translator was beaten and stabbed; his Norwegian publisher was shot and wounded.Catriona Mundle quotes him for "approximately 2:30 AM, maybe a bit earlier," given to fellow novelist Ian McEwan whose wife is a friend of Mundle.
