Fatwa Against Salman Rushdie:
“I hereby inform all proud Muslims worldwide that the author of the book ‘The Satanic Verses,’ whose printed text includes insults to Islam and the Prophet, as well as those publishers who are aware of its contents, are sentenced to death. I request that proud Muslims execute this sentence against them wherever they are found, so that no one else will dare to insult Muslims’ sacred beliefs. Whoever is killed in this mission is a martyr, God willing. Additionally, whoever is unable to put his hands on the authors or is unable to execute them should guide the people to them, and the people will give him a reward for his good work.”“Confessions Salman Rushdie / ‘I think that I have come to an end,’” Fars News, February 14, 2012, http://www.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=13911125001458

Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
