Satanic Verses is a despicable book that could not have been written by a person who wished to behave decently and responsibly.
Orson Scott Card...You believe that the kind of story you want to tell might be best received by the science fiction and fantasy audience. I hope you're right, because in many ways this is the best audience in the world to write for. They're open-minded and intelligent. They want to think as well as feel, understand as well as dream. Above all, they want to be led into places that no one has ever visited before. It's a privilege to tell stories to these readers, and an honour when they applaud the tale you tell.
Orson Scott Card[T]he politically correct are above the rules of ordinary civility, once they have identified you as an unbeliever in their religion.
