Salman Rushdie is awarded knighthood!
But Iran and Pakistan are upset.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapc...eut/index.html http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapc....ap/index.html I just don't understand what's wrong with Rushdie. It's the equivalent of President Hinckley issuing a fatwa for Steve Benson or something. Even the guy that translated The Satanic Verses into Japanese got murdered. MindfulCoug: In your estimation, what percentage of the Iranian population wants to kill Rushdie? Can you explain to us the logic behind the fatwah/hukm? |
