Thanks for the link & synopsis.
Rushdie bemoans role of religion in public life - “It’s a pretty bad time for us who don’t believe that superstition should rule the world... superstition needs to be pushed back in the cupboard where it belongs.”
Notice some of our own "evolutionist" promoters of Scientocracy jump at the chance to suggest that the USA should treat those who want to control their own children's education are the equivalent of mohammedan terrorists who should be hunted down and killed.
The "evolusheviks" can't stand even the idea of religious freedom.
