Possible sources[edit]

Was reading an unrelated article at http://www.kinema.uwaterloo.ca/white951.htm#23. It lists several interesting articles related to this subject. Unfortunantly I dont have access to any sources that can confirm these articles. I would like to read them myself. Also Newslinks coverage of The strait times only goes back to july 1989. Can anyone confirm the following articles exsistance or perhaps even have a online source for them ?

"Muis wants Rushdie book banned," The Straits Times (Singapore), 12 March 1989,(Muis is the Muslim Religious Council).
"Protesters join `death for Rushdie' call," The Straits Times (Singapore), 26 February 1989, 9
"Islam's future in Malaysia `not up to Muslims only'," The Straits Times [Singapore], 12 March 1989, 16

Idol[edit]

Isn't this anger an example of Idol worship? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.226.135.36 (talk) 11:52, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The worship of what idol? 2A00:23C5:FE56:6C01:5589:75F2:9DE9:24F8 (talk) 21:31, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who knows? Someone wrote that comment over 16 years ago and has been ignored until now [you weren't to know, I have just now dated it from the history]; it really should have been deleted. It is just an incoherent loaded question by a probable troll, ignore it.--𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:52, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Banned Books[edit]

Shouldn't the Muslim and left wing attempts to burn and ban his book be listed here, or is book banning not controversial anymore? 2601:246:5A83:D090:A9E8:54DD:CE07:C76D (talk) 00:08, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Satanic Verses controversy#Muslim response and book bannings it's the fourth element in the table of contents. Also out of curiosity I want back and checked the articles history and the original version from 2007[1] doesn't have a specific section about book banning but does list them in it's 'Reception: Timeline' section. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 11:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
