Abstract

Taslima Nasrin’s literary career and controversies about her writings are complex, and many players — local and international — are involved in highlighting them. Religious considerations or the putative Islam-free speech dualism were not the principal reason for banning her books. In many cases, writers and artists caricature Islam and its prophet (peace be upon him) for reasons that go beyond freedom of expression.
