Thanks for putting this material together! The news this year was suspiciously vague / sparse regarding most of the details you shared and I was curious to learn more about the background of Rushdie's plight. Hope he's doing better now.

Dang that's crazy

It is reported from ‘Ata’ that Ibn ‘Abbas said: A devil called al-Abyad came to the Prophet (ﷺ) in the form of Jibril (Gabriel) and cast these words (i.e. the Satanic verses) upon him, and the Prophet recited them. When the pagans heard that it pleased them. Thereupon, Jibril came and asked him to rehears the revelation to him. When he reached those words Jibril said: I did not bring you these words. Someone came to me in your form and cast these words on my tongue.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's. clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. “Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruits; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Matt. 7:15-20.)
