The book was banned in many countries with large Muslim communities. On 14 February , a fatwa requiring Rushdie's execution was proclaimed on Radio Tehran by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the spiritual leader of Iran at the time, calling the book "blasphemous against Islam.

On 7 March , the United Kingdom and Iran broke diplomatic relations over the Rushdie controversy. The publication of the book and the fatwa sparked violence around the world, with bookstores being firebombed. Muslim communities in several nations in the West held public rallies in which copies of the book were burned.

Several people associated with translating or publishing the book were attacked, seriously injured, and even killed. On 24 September , as a precondition to the restoration of diplomatic relations with Britain, the Iranian government, then headed by moderate Mohammad Khatami, gave a public commitment that it would "neither support nor hinder assassination operations on Rushdie.

Salman Rushdie reported that he still receives a "sort of Valentine's card" from Iran each year on February 14 letting him know the country has not forgotten the vow to kill him.

He was also quoted saying, "It's reached the point where it's a piece of rhetoric rather than a real threat.

In , a Pakistani film was released in which Rushdie, played by Afzaal Ahmad, was depicted as plotting, soon after his publication of The Satanic Verses , to cause the downfall of "Pakistan, the stronghold of Islam" by opening a chain of casinos and discos in the country.

The hero of the story, played by Mustafa Qureshi, learns of the plot and decides to quit his day job as a police officer to recruit his unemployed brothers and create a mujahid God's soldiers group to pursue Rushdie and slay him before the plot can go into effect. However, two months later, Rushdie himself wrote to the board, saying that while he thought the film "a distorted, incompetent piece of trash", he would not sue if it was released. Rushdie was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in the Queen's Birthday Honours on June 16, He remarked, "I am thrilled and humbled to receive this great honour, and am very grateful that my work has been recognised in this way.

Parliamentarians of several of these countries condemned the action, and Iran and Pakistan called in their British envoys to protest formally. Mass demonstrations against the honour took place in Pakistan and Malaysia. Calls for his death were issued by several groups outraged by the honour. The Al-Qaeda deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri is quoted as saying in an audio recording that Britain's award for Indian-born Salman was "an insult to Islam", and it was planning "a very precise response.

Rushdie was raised a Muslim but is reviled as an apostate in Muslim countries, especially Pakistan.
