I made this group to aware ppl dat Salman Rushdies Book is just a cheap and meaningless book, he’s just trying to hurt Muslims and showing wrong path to non–Muslims, he perceived as an irreverent depiction of the ISLAM and Huzoor because he doesn’t know anything about ISLAM. “In the name of God the Almighty.{ALLAH} We belong to God {ALLAH}and to Him we shall return”.
he's son of Anis Ahmed Rushdie, a Cambridge University-educated lawyer turned businessman, n Negin Butt, a teacher, Rushdie was born into a Muslim family in Bombay, India but never practice. He was educated at Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai and Rugby School and King's College, Cambridge, He worked for two advertising agencies (Ogilvy & Mather and Ayer Barker) before becoming a full-time writer. His books often focus on the role of religion in society and conflicts between faiths and between the religious and those of no faith.
Rushdie has been married four times. His first wife was Clarissa Luard, to whom he was married from 1976 to 1987 and with whom he has a son, Zafar Rushdie. His second wife was the American novelist Marianne Wiggins; they were married in 1988 and divorced in 1993. His third wife, from 1997 to 2004, was Elizabeth West; they have a son, Milan Rushdie. And in the last but not the least Padma Lakshmi he has been married Since 2004, She’s an Indian actress and a model, the host of the American reality-television show Top Chef. “Here my question is if he’s a Muslim then why he didn’t chosen a single Muslim women for his marriage might be he’ve a fear that she’ll take him to right way”
Or might be he thinks that muslim women won’t be stay for a short period so it’s better to choose non-muslim (Have fun and through it out just like a garbage) Oh Padma you’ve given a sadma to your audience…. Ah I know why you marry to Oldie
“Just sake of money, money, money and fame” (Old Is Gold) LOLz.
