Printed and broadcast in dozens of countries, these images of protest announced the birth of a new world.?nbsp; Twenty years later, the questions raised by the 'Rushdie Affair' - of Islam's relationship to the West, the meaning and value of multiculturalism, the limits of tolerance in a liberal society - have become defining issues of our time
