Comments on: Pakistan Condemns Rushdie Knighthood

Minister Warns Controversial Author's Honor May Provoke Suicide Attacks And Fuel Extremist Fire

So If I write a book demonizing Anglican protestantism, and some right wing nuts call for my death, all I have to do is hide out long enough, and I conceivably could qualify for knighthood?

to quote the fictional pirate Jack Sparrow, "they're just giving the title to anyone nowadays"

These Islamic morons are so tiresome. Why are they so hateful and ignorant? There leaders are stupid narrow-minded idiots. Religion tends to make people that way. I hate all religion, but especially Islam for obvious reasons.

Rushdie publicizes an embarrassment to muslims which is recorded in their own historical text. Then they want to kill him for it. This is the true islam. Muslims constantly insult western values and freedoms as well as other religions. But they are always the most offended. This is the true islam. Muslims create morally corrupt societies in their own countries, emmigrate to the West, and make demands to institute the same corruptness. This is the true islam. Hope people are waking up.

There's always another pretext. If we're talking about using words like 'crusade' - well, that's no biggie, it is a bad word to use because it's meaning implies a religious war. But if you want to say we should avoid literature, freedom of speech, to avoid irritating the extremists - hey, there's no way not to irritate the extremists.


Let's focus on the real world here - Israel is a real reason. Iran is a real reason. Support for corrupt governments is a real reason. Those are not pretexts, and there we should make sure our motives are pure and transparent.

This is just more censorship, and the muslim world flat out has to understand they cannot censor the world! They can hide from it if they like, but they cannot censor it, have us live by their values to avoid hurt feelings. We don't much like a lot they have to say either - but you don't see huge protests nor violence nor terrorist attacks about holocaust cartoons, and the million other areas where westerners find middle eastern values to be incomprehensible or wrong.

Who cares what any of the Muslim nations think? They are incredibly ignorant people who have no respect or tolerance for the religion of other people. They will gladly kill you for not believing as they do.

[Geneius]

P*i*s*s on Pakistan and every other muslim country. Their ignorance is abysmal.

[geratric1943]

Once more we read how Islamic fundamentalism is trying to dictate politics and culture to us.

[cantshutup]

wow...seems like muslims are an angry bloody lot

[quatermass2]

More evidence that Islam badly needs a Reformation.
