Death threats prompt Rushdie to cancel India visit

Doodad

"Authorities warn author of 'Satanic Verses' that he is potential target of underworld assassins following threats of protests from Muslim groups.

JAIPUR - Salman Rushdie will not attend a literature festival in India after authorities warned the controversial author he was a potential target of assassins at the event, following threats of protests from Muslim groups at his planned appearance."

That stuff like this still goes on in 2012 speaks for itself.
