Mr Rushdie said western leaders were guilty of repeating a "mantra" that "this war isn't about Islam".

"The trouble with this necessary disclaimer is that it isn't true," he wrote.

"If this isn't about Islam why the worldwide Muslim demonstrations in support of Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda?"

"It would be absurd to deny that this self-exculpatory, paranoiac Islam is an ideology with widespread appeal"

-Salman Rushdie
