Some much-needed comic relief.

(io9) — Pakistani Action Flick Flying Korans Blow Up Salman Rushdie With Lasers

Shortly after Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwā against Salman Rushdie for writing The Satanic Verses, Pakistani filmmakers punched out International Guerillas, a deranged exploitation flick starring a faux-Rushdie as a blasphemous crime lord.

In the film, Rushdie dwells on an island fortress, scheming with the Israeli military to corrupt pious Muslims with casinos and discotheques. After the film’s trio of protagonists sneak on to the author’s headquarters with Batman costumes, a group of floating Korans inexplicably fly down from the sky and annihilate Rushdie with lasers and/or lighting bolts.
