German police women patrol in front of the Hans-Otto theatre during the world premiere of a dramatised version of the novel from the book the 'Satanic Verses' by British author Salman Rushdie in Potsdam near Berlin March 30, 2008. The highly controversial novel, which was published in the late 1980s and caused outrage among Muslims who deemed it blasphemous, has been staged as a dramatic performance for the first time on Sunday under tight police control.
