KILL HIM, KILL HIM
I guess Islam really is a religion of peace. Why else would Muslims shout "KILL HIM KILL HIM"? It looks like Salman will have to go into hiding again. And since the Queen knighted him I guess she'll have to refrain from appearing in public. What a great "religion". It just never ends. It's the “religion” of perpetual petulance, hurt feelings and homicidal revenge.
From The Daily Mail June 18th 2007
Salman Rushdie faced fresh threats of suicide attacks this afternoon following his knighthood.
A senior minister in the Pakistani government insisted he be stripped of the honour which was described as an affront to Muslims and a justification to kill the author.
In 1989 Rushdie's book Satanic Verses caused outrage in the Muslim world and led to the issuing of a fatwa calling for his death. Sir Salman went into hiding with round the clock protection but was slowly able to return to public life by 1999.
The inflammatory remarks by religious affairs minister Mohammed Ijaz ul-Haq could reignite the threats to his life.
Mr ul-Haq told the Pakistani parliament that the writer's knighthood announced in the Queen's Birthday Honours "was an occasion for the (world's) 1.5billion Muslims to look at the seriousness of this decision".
He added: "The West is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism. If someone exploded a bomb on his body he would be right to do so unless the British government apologises and withdraws the 'sir' title."
