It only got the attention it did because it drew attention to a theologically contentious topic in Islam, it'd be like if an atheist wrote a book about getting into heaven via faith alone and then the Pope came out and said "get that mother fucker" or if someone wrote a book about Joseph smith changing the plates around and Mormons went all Danite and started trying to stab him to death.

Could you imagine? Fucking insane.

Probably not, like most controversies.
I seriously doubt any Islamic scholars or Moslems were influenced to think one way or another on the subject by this book.
I think published today it would probably not receive nearly the same amount of backlash, as no one reads anymore.

Not so long ago that a French language magazine prompted a suicide mission. It might not go down the same way, but some cunt online could happily set up mania around some novel.

As for "deserve", it's a good enough book to merit being taken seriously

i don't think such an important religion should be controlled by such barbaric, dimwitted people

Get some new cliches. You have never had an original thought in your entire life. Just one trite cliche attached to another. You are not even human.

he should be dead not because he insulted islam but because he's a terrible writer.

>controlled by such barbaric, dimwitted people
such people literally make up the ultramajority of the religion, who do you think is going to control it? The Afghan people did nothing to prevent the Taliban from (re)taking power, the Iranians deposed the Shah to install the Ayatollah. When's the last time you heard of anyone in a Muslim country fighting against Shariah law?

Muslims are stupid retards lol
