Following the path of her aftermath, she waited, like the predator she was. As I approached she stretched upward and and her dark eyes looked straight at me. Medium length straight dark hair with, round face, and dark cold eyes that could pierce the dark. She drew me to this place and she scared the hell out of me. Don't know what it means but something said to me "The Devil in Denmark". If anyone interprets dreams out there..... A dream that threw me back: Three people fell.

I was aware of it peripherally but was 'busy' with my life at the time and barely had time to register that there seemed to be an awful lot of fuss over a book. As the years went by I realized the fatwa still existed and it became a sort of 'sick joke'....the Muslim fatwa on Salman Rushdie for writing a book of fantasies. Now, in light of other developments in the world, those events have sharpened in my focus and I see the 'Rushdie affair' as a symptom; a symptom of fear by the elites in the Muslim world. Not the average man on the street who hasn't read the book and doesn't care; no, those who feel threatened that one single joke about 'what is' might bring the whole edifice down; can't have the masses asking questions. So this 'campaign' was mounted which drew far more attention to the 'peculiarities' of Islam than if no mention had been made of the book at all. The excessive fuss is what caused everyone to take a harder look....though blind as we were and undereducated about Islam, in the latel 80s no one knew what they were looking for, just that there seemed to be excessive hypersensitivity on the part of the Muslims about this book. It all makes perfect sense now but in 1989, we were still getting used to the idea that the Shah of Iran was gone and the country was now a closed theocracy.

Be sure to check the link and the comments. By the way: I translate PIA CAUSA as "for pious purpose". And by by the way: PIA CAUSA was moderated OUT of a Sweedish debate forum earlier, and then after some sharp protesting (not me) allowed in again. Don't know the exact reason, but it was one of these really Swedish forums. Great, I’ll link it with several comments on the patterns. Be sure to check the link and the comments.
