Salman Rushdie Reads from "The Satanic Verses"

Back




This clip was taken from "Faith & Reason" on PBS. Excerpt was read at the PEN American Center on April 26, 2006. This is the infamous passage that sparked off the book's controversy. Quick Update: Since I've been confused for both Jewish, and Muslim somehow, for the record: I'm actually agnostic.

There will be another dimension where those lucky ones, who made it to heaven will have a climpse of the ULTIMATE REALITY. How much of heat or radiation can we resiste? We can even have a glance at our very own sun let alone the source of ALL ENERGY. Can you imagine, yes! Imagine my friend, can you really do that? That is the word indeed can you really imagine? Imagine, for it is everything. Infinite in essence, the source of all realities that govern our life, it is EXISTANCE, without location

Have you heard about the story of Moses(pbh) and many of the prophets? Some of them too were quite bewildered, for they were dealing with a situation that no one can COMPREHEND. You know what asked for? Yes! they wanted more proof, they wanted to "Witness" the ULTIMATE and MOST DESIRABLE, Most SUBLINE, the UNDESCRIBABLE and EXTREME without an END "PRESENCE". No my friend is it an impossible station for a feeble beings like us. Even after the day of judgement, there will be another DIMENSION...

It is irrational and really absurd to using and rational ground to denial the most Rational possible way we can only come to existance. How can I deny your existance, even though I can not see you and you either, yet here we are both proving our existance through this machine by displaying a "SIGN" through a cause and effect scenario: Our comments. What you(Atheists) want that is indeed IMPOSSIBLE, to witness the Most High. Well I tell you what you are not the first and certainly not the last.

So why not try to find out first then you can start to deny if the result is negative. You see this is the problem with guys(Atheists), you think that it is rational(Scientific) to deny the undeniable. Qur'an called you "Kufar" meaning "Doubters", your doubts bring you into this state of DENIAL. The irnoy is, you(Western Nation) are such great nation(rational) yet you fail completely to understand the very foundation of your whole existance, with which(Science) you have brought light to humanity

Nobody knows how the Big Bang "came to be".
malinehydara (Thursday 8th of January 2009 12:13:31 PM)
Well you sound intelligent, so how did the "big-bang" came to be? Who cause it to happened? Where did it start from? Baring in mind that the "big- bang" and still what we are witnessing are just the effect of the Act that caused it to happen. Please refer to the Natural laws, which I believe those of your kind are quick to relate to as your base of argument.

You're fucking stupid, not to mention arrogant. Do you really think you were created as part of a flurry of magic tricks? Here's the news: We evolved from a less-complex species of great ape. The Universe began with the Big Bang. There is no evidence of any other process. Seeing as you are the one who's hallucinating, you have no business calling anyone else a psycho.
