Debate 26 Jan 2012, NewAgeIslam.Com The Salman Rushdie Saga: The ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ — Alive and Well World Over By Giulio Meotti Jan 25th, 2012
	Rushdie’s saga is now, in many parts of the Islamic world, associated with a “Zionist plot” and the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, a short book concocted by the czarist police and presented as minutes of a secret meeting where Jews plotted world domination. According to Iranian officials, Rushdie is a “mercenary author masterminded by Zionism, Britain and the United States of America”. Today Iran is one of the major world printers of the “Protocols”, the only book that has ever had the perverse distinction of being both globally influential and, at the same time, a forgery. There is no accurate information on the sales of the “Protocols”, but it is undoubtedly one of the best sellers of all time. -- Giulio Meotti http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamDebate_1.aspx?ArticleID=6478
