In fact, I was thinking that it could be an idea to read the verses at the same time in various religious temples (e.g. mosques/churches etc.) around the world.. Then it makes the reading into a symbol of the right to be free from religion. A right which the text practices by default..
Anyway… Should really contact Gunter now..

It would be interesting to have public readings of The Satanic Verses in Trafalgar Square or somewhere. It wouldn’t be testing the law, of course, but would be a way of showing these bloody people that our free speech is far more important than some barmy doctrine.
