Although Satanic Verses is offensive satire, it does unveil the deadly forces behind Islam. Forced Submission and the Reign of Terror One out of every five human beings in the world claims to be a Muslim. Once an Islamic government is installed in a nation, it is against the law to claim allegiance to any other belief. For example, one of the citizenship requirements in Saudi Arabia is allegiance to Islam. The concept of forced submission encompasses relationships between men and women.
Muslim men have the sole power to divorce their wives at whim.
So good women are obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. Women in Islamic countries must completely cover themselves, and can only expose their eyes and hands. Thus, although women are forced to completely cover themselves, they are vulnerable to becoming concubines, or sex-slaves. But Muslim women are not the only victims of this unyielding force. Innocent people around the world have suffered as well.
