    When the Quraysh tribe offers peace with Muslims if the prophet Mohammad (pbuh) will compromise monotheism and include an ok to three of their goddesses.  This of itself is historical fact. What enangered Muslims was Rushdie's portrayal of the Prophet during this period as being a wimp--weak and tempted, also arrogant, etc.

    All of it. Most people who kicked off about it never read it as they were told not to.
