N2  - In 1989 a thousand Muslim protesters paraded through a British city displaying a copy of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, before ceremoniously burning the book.?nbsp;It was an act motivated by rage and offence as well as one calculated to shock and offend.?nbsp;It did more than that: images of the burning book became an icon of the Muslim anger. 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
