The knighthood of Salman Rushdie isn't sitting well with Muslims.
What a surprise!
I'M SHOCKED!!!
I expected them to respond with the same control that they exhibited during the Danish cartoon controversy.
THE storm over Salman Rushdie's knighthood intensified yesterday when a Pakistani minister called it a reason for suicide attacks.
Religious affairs leader Mohammed Ijaz ul-Haq said honouring the author insulted Muslims. He raged at his parliament: "If someone exploded a bomb on his body he would be right to do so unless the Britain apologises and withdraws the 'sir' title."
Students burned effigies of the Queen and Rushdie in Multan, chanting: "Kill him" Their leader Asim Dahr said: "This Queen has made a mockery of Muslims." The British flag was burnt in Lahore.
The knighthood for Rushdie, 59, was announced in the Queen's Birthday Honours on Saturday.
So Muslims are personally insulted by the prospect of Rushdie being a knight.
They respond to the news by threatening to carry out suicide attacks and holding protests, burning the British flag, and burning Queen Elizabeth in effigy.
Does that seem reasonable?
If you think so, you just might be an Islamic extremist.

I strongly condemn the uncivil act of Pakistanis..Pakistanis and other Muslims are nothing to do with "Sir" title announced for Salman Rushdie,since its an acknowledgment given by Britain government.Still,if they wish to express their agitation,they should do it in a respectful/polite manner...

Kind of like the Southern Baptists during Elton John's ceremony.
I agree.
The Pakistanis can express themselves without acting out in such a violent fashion.
Did Baptists burn Elton John in effigy?
I don't think you can equate Islamic extremists with Baptists. Nope. Not even close.
Good one, of course the very peaceful 'Muslims' are justified for destroying the whole world over this. What? The Queen can't knight someone she likes? She can't knight someone that other people don't like?
But I'm sure Sir Rushdie has mixed emotions on this; the Queen has put him in much greater danger. Maybe he'll wish he had turned it down.
At least this incident will lose the terrorists at least a few more of their dhimmidiot appeasers.
Islam in it's extreme is more political ideology than religion. In that way, it is only a 'Religion of Peace' in that when Islam rules the planet, there will be no one to be at war with. Where they are given an inch, they demand a mile. Islamic countries are becoming more extreme, extremists rule, they just keep quoting the Koran to justify their Jihad.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
appease religious killers
continue to spoil them
violent tantrums pay off
.
The Dems are putting your absurd thought into action.
It's their plan to deal with the terrorist threat.
Jimmy Carter is their patron saint.
