That's so weird you'd say that, I'm reading The Satanic Verses right now. So far nothing explicitly anti-Islam (apart from a Muslim eating ham but it wasn't an up-yours to Islam, just the guy losing his religion), but I won't comment as to whether he was excessively arrogant until I've finished it. So far it's really...metamorphic. Rushdie writes really well, some excellent characterisation, some of the deepest I've ever read.
