Between Pope and Prophet

Muslims' response to Pope Benedict's address at Regensburg is a fresh
chapter in the arrival of global Islam on the world's political stage,
says Faisal Devji.
Pope Benedict XVI's citation of a medieval text disparaging the
Prophet Mohammed, in his address at the University of Regensburg on 12
September 2006, has allowed Muslims across the world to mount yet
another spectacle of their religion's globalisation.
The statements, demonstrations and acts of violence fuelling this
controversy do not match the scale of those protesting the Danish
caricatures of Islam's founder in February-March 2006. But the fact
that they should have occurred so soon afterwards, and so much more
rapidly, is telling given that nearly twenty years separated the
cartoon controversy from the first spectacle of Islam's globalisation,
which had as its cause the publication of Salman Rushdie's novel The
Satanic Verses in 1988.
