Es decir, el Índice de libros prohibidos o, simplemente, el Índice. Se trata de la lista de libros prohibidos que elaboraba la Iglesia Católica. Puedes leer más sobre el tema en Wikipedia. La práctica fue abandonada en 1966, pero me temo que sea reintroducida pronto:
CAIRO, Jan. 28. – Egypt’s Nobel Prize winning author, Naguib Mahfouz, is seeking the permission of the country’s highest Islamic authorities to publish one of his most controversial novels, in a move which has staggered friends and colleagues who see it as a capitulation to the power of conservative Islam. Speaking publicly about his decision for the first time, the 94 year-old confirmed that his publisher had sought the approval of Al Azhar university, Sunni Islam’s oldest seat of learning, to finally publish Children of the Alley. The book was banned in Egypt in 1959 when Islamists declared it blasphemous. “If Al Azhar agrees to publish it, then I want it published” he told friends and supporters seated around him at a weekly get-together in a bar at the Shepherd Hotel on the banks of the Nile.
Creo que la inclusión de un libro en el índice mahometano es un serio riesgo para la salud del autor. Pero hombre, Naguib, ¿94 años y le tienes miedo a la muerte?
Lo leí en Dhimmi Watch.
