- This page is for the city called Bainbridge Island, which is on the island of the same name. Although most locals tend to not distinguish between the two, they are distinct types of things. For example, if Bainbridge Island was overrun by monkeys, thus destroying the city, the island would remain. Hence it is important to keep them distinct.
We are from Allah and to Allah we shall return. I am informing all brave Muslims of the world that the author of The Satanic Verses, a text written, edited, and published against Islam, the Prophet of Islam, and the Qur’an, along with all the editors and publishers aware of its contents, are condemned to death. I call on all valiant Muslims wherever they may be in the world to kill them without delay, so that no one will dare insult the sacred beliefs of Muslims henceforth. And whoever is killed in this cause will be a martyr, Allah willing. Meanwhile, if someone has access to the author of the book but is incapable of carrying out the execution, he should inform the people so that [Rushdie] is punished for his actions.
