In 1989, the literary world was rocked by an unprecedented event: Ayatollah Khomeini, the leader of Revolutionary Iran, issued a fatwa against Salman Rushdie, the author of The Satanic Verses.

The book was banned in several countries and led to attacks against those involved in its publication. Hanif Kureishi called the fatwa 'one of the most significant events in post-war literary history'.

It will challenge your perspective and give you new revelation on one of the most dangerous regimes in the world. Contrary to modern discourse, Christianity is not new to Iran.
