This volume collects together contributions from Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Hindu thinkers who explore the central issues arising from the Salman Rushdie controversy. Shabbir Akhtar's dissection of Satanic Rites and its author carries weight because of its fervency and profound sense of hurt. Bhikhu Parekh's analysis of the responses to the Rushdie affair from both the British press and British Muslims passes judgement on the inadequacy of all parties to the events. The Hindu Professor of Political Theory at Hull University, Bhiku Parekh, analyzes how we all got it wrong.
