Can anyone please tell me what was so blasphemous in the "Satanic
Verses" by Salman Rushdie
Was it a character in the book simply saying he doesn't believe in God
which upset people or was it something else. Can anyone please
explain.

Simple. Muslims do not want their so called prophet to be portrayed in
any manner except to adore him and hail him as the last prophet!
Indian govt being an anti-Hindu pro-Muslim pro-Christian government
banned this. Muslims, Christians and their cults are more important
than the true faiths of Hindus, Buddhists, Jains or Sikhs in India!

Nice summary!

Dhanyavaad.

Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, received a revelation which said that
it was acceptable to worship goddesses Lat, Manat and Uzza, which the
pagans of Mecca worshipped. Muhammad told the Meccans this fact.
Later, Muhammad declared that that revelation was from Satan, not
Allah (hence the term Satanaic Verses for the verses of the Koran
that describe that revelation) and therefore not valid. Only Allah
can be worshipped in Islam, according to Muhammad.
That, to the best of my knowledge, is the explanation of the term
"Satanic Verses".

Dhanyavaad for your explanation!
