Martin Amis is no stranger to controversy with his writings, political views and even extensive dental surgery stoking debate and, at times, ridicule.

Since the 9/11 terror attacks the author has been stalked by accusations of Islamophobia for his views on Islamic extremism. In a 2006 interview with the Times he said Muslims ought to "suffer until they get their house in order", with measures including "deportation – further down the road. Curtailing of freedoms. Strip searching people who look like they are from the Middle East, Pakistan, until it hurts the whole community and they start getting tough with their children".
