Something was badly amiss with the spiritual life of the planet...Too many demons inside people claiming to believe in God.
In "The Satanic Verses," Salman Rushdie explores the troubling state of the world's spirituality, suggesting that there are significant issues impacting people's beliefs. He observes a disconnect between the faith individuals profess and the darker aspects that seem to inhabit them, highlighting a struggle within society where genuine spirituality is overshadowed by negativity and internal conflicts.
Rushdie implies that many who consider themselves devout still harbor inner turmoil or 'demons' that contradict their beliefs in God. This duality raises questions about authenticity in faith and the challenges that arise when self-proclaimed believers are unable to fully embody the values of love and understanding that their religions advocate.
