Comments on: Pakistan Condemns Rushdie Knighthood

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

And the Muslim world again demonstrates that it is advanced, civilized and worthy of respect.

""We have to look at the root causes of militancy," Ijaz ul Haq, Pakistan's Minister for Religious Affairs told CBS News. "The root cause is that you are giving knighthood to someone who commits blasphemy. This leads to extremism and there is a danger of people considering suicide attacks in retaliation. He must be de-knighted immediately."

Oh, yeah ... the root cause of some loony blowing himself up is someone 10,000 miles away whom he has never met getting a knighthood. I'd have to say if you are so unstable that something like that sets you off, you are the root cause of the problem. Maybe you should be "de-lifed" immediately. What a classic case of the "We're evil and insane but you're making us that way" argument. Go *** yourself, Mr. Minister.

God forbid someone draw a cartoon of Rushdie getting knighted; the $hit will really hit the fan then!

And we condem all muslims....including *** muslims. Why don't you ********** drag yourselves into the 18th century. It will be a HUGE improvement over where you are.

Another proof that as Bill Maher put it "Islam is a religion of peace and if you don't agree with them, they'll kill you". I hope Britain won't give in to the threats from these barbarians.

I think I'll go buy a few hundred of his books and then go out to a street corner and hand them out, (right next to the guy handing out the Bibles).

How come some of these comment areas specific to articles stop working at times? More CBS games?

It proves again that, as Bill Maher said, "Islam is a religion of peace and if you don't agree with it, they'll kill you." I hope Britain won't back down to their threats. The western world needs to stand up to these barbaric idiots.
