As
early as the September 88 interview with Sean French of
the Observer, Rushdie disclosed that his ‘Satanic Verses’ were
more to do with autobiography than fiction.
This is an open admission that
the psychotic-schizophrenic fall and flying sequences
of both Chamcha and Farishta were disguised, non fictional
accounts of himself [as were other members of
his family disguised, he says, in earlier novels]. He intended
thereby to protect his own personal sensitivities and
those of his close family members, while allowing
him to make highly sensitive disclosures, unhampered by either
moral or social discretion. However, on this particular occasion he uses
the ‘Modern Novels Technique’ in order to avoid disclosing or
recognising his own mental disorder directly, and more importantly, to
prevent others from discovering it and the self-avowed subversive
nature of both his mission and his book.
Sean French: “You’ve described their fall
into England from a plane as a ‘drastic act of immigration’.
Is this ‘A Passage to India’ in reverse, ‘A Passage to
England’?”
Salman Rushdie: “It wasn’t conscious. It’s
more to do with auto-biography. Not that Chamcha [the devil]
is me. I wanted to write about a thing I find difficult to
admit, even to myself...”
Satanic Verses must, therefore, be considered as an
autobiography,in which the long established, split and
grandiose personality of the narrator, Salman Rushdie, is
represented by two ‘allegedly’ fictional characters from the
archetypal world-store or pantheon of Satanic personalities.
They receive blasphemous disintegrated revelations on his
behalf, whilst either falling, flying, or in Rushdie’s own
words, “plummeting in a concussed condition”. This is a
cunning device employed in order to be proffered later as
“suitable mitigation” when the book provoked the inevitable
outcry of blasphemy.
“Gibreel [Farishta-Rushdie] greeted her. ‘You couldn’t
find your way to heaven or what?’ Insensitive words [one might
think] to speak to a dead woman! But his concussed, plummeting
condition, may be offered in mitigation.” [Satanic Verses,
page 7]
Muslims were far more likely to be fooled with an
extenuating aeronautical coma, than accept legal arguments
protecting a U.K. author’s right to insult who or what ever he
likes, providing he does so between inverted commas, or under
the veneer of the novel formula. But unfortunately for him,
this time they were not about to be bitten by the same snake
twice. They neither accepted it as a fable - as he had hoped -
nor as a semi-conscious work of fiction, but correctly
identified it as an autobiographical account of out and out,
possessed, premeditated blasphemy.
SEPTEMBER 13th
1989:
LAUNCH OF THE
ISLAMIC PARTY OF BRITAIN
The
Leader’s inaugural speech contained references to admissions
by Miles Copeland, one time head of CIA Middle East
operations, that contrary to popular belief the CIA had more
men guarding Gamal Abdul Nasser than the president of the
United States. Copeland also revealed that knowing that the
press has the power to purchase submission, they used it in
order to overthrow the democratically elected, popular Iranian
leader Mossadegh. And that it was Richard Cotton, a CIA
operative in Washington D.C., who began the campaign of
disinformation in Iran, by concocting over 4/5ths of all the
Iranian newspaper reports and articles circulating during that
period in Iran, falsely claiming that premier Mossadegh was a
Communist collaborator.
He
also stated that the CIA, working in concert with the British
authorities, including Churchill, Julian Amery, Sir Samuel
Falle, and Sir George Middleton (Charge d’Affairs at the
Embassy in Tehran), brought about the Coup d’etat, which
placed in charge more ‘Elastic‘ politicians over the Iranian
people, for the West’s material benefit, particularly in the
interest of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co., now called British
Petroleum. These were people like General Zahidi, who in the
words of Sir George Middleton (Ends of Empire, Channel 4) was,
“vain, plausible and thoroughly untrustworthy” [and no doubt
short-listed for honorary knighthood like Labour’s Sir
Nicholai Ceauescu, for deeds favouring people in the City of
London, not his own]. On the question of the Iranian response
to Rushdie’s Satanic Verses, Mr. Pidcock said:-
“When you come to the question of Salman Rushdie and
the Satanic Verses issue, one must not view the Iranian
response outside this historical context. Here we have
Rushdie, an agent of an occult establishment, well paid and
praised for his contribution to this ‘Last Crusade’. One can
rest assured that if he had been a German war criminal, or a
Jewish atomic expert telling the truth about the nuclear
capabilities of Israel, the press would have treated the issue
quite differently. As with Peter Wright’s ‘Spy Catcher’, the
government would have reacted differently. But sadly, today
the only thing that seems to generate anything approaching an
outcry of ‘Blasphemy’ in the media or in the press, is, in the
words of one American Rabbi: ”Anything that devalues the
currency of the Holocaust." The cancellation of Jim Allen’s
Play ‘Perdition’ at the Royal Court Theatre, to be replaced
not long after by ‘Persian Nights’, demonstrates clearly that
a double standard is in operation.
Under the Islamic laws of Moses the punishments for
blasphemy are no different to those of latter-day Islam,
outlined in the Torah of Muhammad, the Qur’an. And just as you
would not expect the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury to abrogate any
of the 10 Commandments, because the religion of Britain is now
more ‘Bank of England’ than ‘Church of England’, or ask the
Chief Rabbi to exonerate Dr. Goebbels on the grounds that
writing a few speeches never hurt anyone; likewise, the fatwa
of Ayatollah Khomeini must not be viewed without first taking
into account the duplicitous nature of past, present, and for
the foreseeable future British, American and European foreign
policy, towards the strongly religious nations of Iran and
Egypt in particular, and the strategically disunited
Nations of Islam in general. Today ‘writer’s indignation’
outweighs ‘righteous indignation’."

Embargo until: Thursday 1st of March, 1900hrs G.M.T
Leader of the Islamic Party calls for a suspension of
the sentence against Salman Rushdie: London/Birmingham. “ The
leader of the Islamic Party of Britain, Mr. Daud Musa Pidcock,
called today,Thursday, for a suspension of the punishment
against the author of ‘Satanic Verses’, Mr. Salman Rushdie,
pending the outcome of a committee of inquiry being set up to
investigate the allegations that Mr. Rushdie may have been
describing his own autobiographical account of mental
breakdown prior to, or during the preparation of the
manuscript. Ms. Marjory Wallace, director of S.A.N.E.
[Schizophrenia, A National Emergency] who runs the new
national schizophrenia help line, and who may be invited to
review the committee’s report, said in a recent Radio
interview [Start the Week, BBC Radio 4: 5/2/90] that Mr.
Rushdie’s account of his characters’ ‘Fall and Flying
sequences’, were in her opinion:- ‘The best descriptions she
had ever read of a person undergoing Psychotic Schizophrenic
Breakdown.’ Mr. Pidcock said that if this was the case, under
the compassionate laws of Islam, Mr. Rushdie would be exempted
from punishment and eligible for hospital treatment whilst
attracting the sympathy of many of those currently outraged at
his publication. Mr. Pidcock stressed that he was not calling
for a cancellation of the Fatwa, which he said was technically
correct, only for its suspension pending the committee’s
findings, which if positive, would render Mr. Rushdie immune
on the grounds of insanity. Mr. Pidcock repeated his appeal to
the publishers to withdraw the continued publication of
‘Satanic Verses’ in line with the arguments put forward by the
‘Muslim Action Front’ in the High Court this week." [press

‘THE INDEPENDENT’
FRIDAY
MARCH 2nd 1990:
ISLAMIC PARTY CALLS FOR
RUSHDIE TO BE SPARED
By
Jack O’Sullivan.
"The
Islamic Party of Britain yesterday urged suspension of the
death sentence against Salman Rushdie, on the grounds that he
may have had a mental breakdown while writing The Satanic
Verses. A spokesman said several psychiatrists had been
approached to analyse the allegations, which if found to be
true, would free the writer from the punishment because of his
condition. The party announced the decision after hearing
Marjorie Wallace, director of [SANE] Schizophrenia A National
Emergency, argue on radio that some passages in the book
strikingly resembled descriptions by her clients.” Ms Wallace
also confirmed in her interview with Jack O’Sullivan that she
had indeed said that the account of the heroes or anti-heroes
of ‘The Satanic Verses’ particularly in those sequences of the
characters falling and flying, were some of the best she had
ever read of a person undergoing Psychotic Schizophrenic
Breakdown, but emphasised that she had not said that Rushdie
was actually mad. She, understandably, not wishing to be drawn
into the controversy preferred to describe his condition to
the ‘Independent’ as ‘Very Imaginative’. She added: “his
descriptions of the fragmentation of the mind, the dissolving
of the boundaries between the self and reality, together with
the sense that his hero had his life overtaken by alien forces
is very similar to the descriptions of how it feels when
schizophrenics become split away from reality”. She also
confirmed that she had agreed to review any psychiatric report
on Rushdie.
Following the February 5th edition of ‘Start the Week’,
Ms Wallace spoke to D. Bouilloire, a member of the Islamic
Party in Sheffield, saying that it had not been her intention
to imply that Salman Rushdie had actually experienced the
Psychotic events described by him in his ‘Satanic Verses’, but
on the other hand, when pressed, she said, “..neither can I
state categorically that he has not” [extracts from a
monitored telephone conversation].
The
Qur’an invites us to compare all information without fear,
because truth stands out clear from error. Nicolas Walter, in
his book ‘Blasphemy Ancient and Modern’, points out many
interesting facts about the Blasphemy Industry, and how it
promotes and markets its wares. He admitted, however, that he
had not studied an unbiased translation of the Qur’an which
was now the subject of dispute, and therefore was ignorant of
the profound verifiable scientific statements in the Qur’an
about, for example the origins of our expanding Universe and
that this Qur’an is being exonerated daily by the
investigations of science. Data from COBE, ‘The Cosmic
Background Explorer’, and Stephen Hawkin’s ‘Brief History of
Time’ endorse the accuracy of the Qur’anic account of the ‘Big
Bang’ and, of course, the ‘Big Crunch’. Other research reveals
other proofs.
The
mistakes and ignorance of Nicolas Walters about the Qur’an are
understandable. He, unlike Salman Rushdie has not had access
to the archives of unbiased history, but has regrettably
allowed himself to be satisfied with the dregs of prejudice.
Rushdie on the other hand has tried to confound the
truth with blatant falsehood, assassinating the characters of
noble people, rubbishing good manners and high ideals and
assaulting not just a book, but The Book. The Book that
contains the solutions for all the world’s problems, The Book
that if studied, can set mankind free from the slavery of
Interest, Poverty, Global Warming, Racial Discrimination,
Social Injustice, etc., etc., etc. And it is in these areas of
vested interest that we find the ‘Rushdie faction’, those who
benefit materially from inhumanely depriving others, like the
Biblical Corah (known in the Qur’an as Qarun), who do not
welcome any form of liberating book, be it Islamic or
otherwise.
So,
working on the principle that for a lie to succeed it must
contain some element of truth, and with tame Rushdies ever
ready to wage secular Jihad in order to gain the approbation
of the English speaking Literary World Order, he chose to sell
what was left of his ‘Honorary White Soul’ for an alleged
$850,000 dollar advance. He thus endorsed the long standing
and widely held view that a well financed, well organised war
of subversion is still being waged; not only against Islam but
all forms of moral order [see the chapter The Revolt against
Islam on page 106 of this book]. This is not new; the only
novelty is the use of the novel, rather than the older
techniques of hiding or altering the wording of scripture or
making them apocryphal in order to accommodate political
ambition by circumnavigating inconvenient moral or financial
prohibitions.
As
to Rushdie’s rationalised externalisations and self-deceptive
personations; these are first and foremost attempts to
disguise from himself the embarrassing and unwelcome
realisation that the narrative of his book, Satanic Verses, is
merely a regurgitation of the neurotic dreams and nightmares
he experienced during his ‘Psychotic Schizophrenic Breakdown’,
now disguised as a novel. The neurotic, or post-godly type, as
Rushdie calls himself, will always cloud issues to avoid clear
exposure of either his neurosis or his ‘God-Shaped Hole’; a
method employed in order to maintain the illusion of
normality, like the vain ugly camel avoids drinking from clear
water to maintain the illusion that it is handsome.
