- Double-weighted statement
- This work took seven years to research and write and is approximately 112,000 words in length. The research involved acquiring disciplinary expertise in several fields beyond my literary specialisms, including early Islamic history, philosophy and ethics, jurisprudence, political theory, ethnic and racial studies (especially the debates around multiculturalism, cultural racism, and Islamophobia) as well as a huge corpus of writing about freedom of speech. There was also a significant amount of historical research into the controversies in question, especially that pertaining to The Satanic Verses, examining contemporary accounts as well as scholarly papers and books.
