Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 302 pages. Not since Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses has the publication of a book provo ked such mob violence, public outcries for the arrest and death of the author, a nd international efforts to secure her safety.The animosity and bloodletting bet ween Muslim and Hindu extremists on the Indian s…ubcontinent is centuries old. Wh en the Barbri Mosque at Ayodhya, India, was destroyed by Hindu fundamentalists o n December 6, 1992, fierce mob reprisals took place against the Hindu minority i n Muslim Bangladesh. These incidents form the backdrop for Dr. Taslima Nasrin's explosive and courageous book, Shame, describing the nightmarish fate of one fam ily within her country's small Hindu community.Her book so angered Muslim leader s that a fatwa, or holy judgment, was invoked, offering thousands of dollars to anyone who would kill her. The Soldiers of Islam accused her of blasphemy and c onspiracy against Islam, while the Bengali government charged her with sacrileg e merely for saying that the Koran should be revised. After months in hiding, Dr . Nasrin escaped to Sweden with the aid of American, French, and European Union authorities. Her commitment to eliminating religious extremism worldwide is stat ed in her preface to Shame: The disease of religious fundamentalism must be fou ght at every turn. I will continue to write and protest persecution and discrimi nation. I am convinced that the only way the fundamentalist forces can be stoppe d is if all of us join together to fight their malignant influence. I, for one, will not be silenced.
