You haven't read Salman Rushdie have you? For a start he's Indian, not 'middle eastern'. The fatwah bought a lot of attention to Salman but it's the incredible nature of his work that made him one of the great living authors. Midnight's Children was the book that brought him critical acclaim, long before the fatwah-issuing Satanic Verses.
