In another tweet, Nasreen said, ‘I feel the person who wanted to kill Rushdie for writing ‘the Satanic Verses’ had not read the book. The Islamic fundamentalists who are threatening to kill me for writing books, have not read a single book of mine.’
I think the man who wanted to kill Rushdie for writing Satanic Verses hasn’t read Satanic verses. I think the Islamists who want to kill me for writing books have not read any of my books.
