Religion

Rushdie came from a Muslim family but says that he was never really religious. In 1990, in the “hope that it would reduce the threat of Muslims acting on the fatwa to kill him,” he issued a statement claiming he had renewed his Muslim faith, had repudiated(否认，拒绝接受) the attacks on Islam in his novel and was committed to working for better understanding of the religion across the world. His books often focus on the role of religion in society and conflicts between faiths and between the religious and those of no faith. Rushdie advocates the application of higher criticism, pioneered during the late 19th century. Rushdie calls for a reform in Islam in a guest opinion.
