BF2S Forums Rushdie's knighthood 'justifies suicide attacks'

After death threats and a fatwa (religious ruling) issued by Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini calling for his assassination.

Pretty bad when you have a whole government wanting you dead

They can't take criticism. They keep talking about religion of peace but they can't take criticism like all other religions. That's their problem. Everything to them justifies suicide attacks, fucking twats.

Can someone tell me why the fuck the U.S is allies with Pakistan, giving them F16's and shit. Even the MP's are condoning terrorism. God damnit, who was the idiot that gave these guys nukes.

Arrrgh! Bloody islamic fundamentalists are as bad as the goddamn christians in America.

Maybe someone should teach al-queda to sing and hold bake sales instead of blowing people up?

Pakistan is lovely. I didn't hear Iran making a similarly retarded remark.

As for Salman - this was just a deliberately inflammatory act on the part of the British. Apparently his books are shit so does this mean that if I write a book called 'Fuck Jesus and His Mother Too' will I get a knighthood?

I'd buy it, dunno whether it will help your knightnood cause though.

Probably not, but, you won't have to go into hiding because of head hunters.

And that is why Muslims are a peaceful people?  The queen herself needs to tell those crazy muslims to sit down and shut up.  They presume to be able to judge the West and then they talk like that??  They can all go and rail a goat if they think someone should be executed for writing a book, or drawing a picture.  We don't rain nuclear fire on Iran every time they say death to America, do we?

you are putting your value system on top of islam.  that is the error. 

our value system that we cherish, our freedoms, etc are antithetical to islam.  if you question the prophet, this equates to blasphemy plain and simple.  Supposedly in the Satanic Versus, Rushdie claimed that Mohammad thought up Islam while in a hashish induced haze.  Inflammatory?  perhaps.  is printing a picture of what you thought the prophet looked like inflammatory?  Remember the furor over those caricatures a few years back?  Remember Theo Van Gogh?  Freedom of speech does not exist for these people. 

Islam is a way of life - not just a religion.  Since it is part of their kernel of existence, it's hard to talk sense to them about it.  it just 'is' for them.

Yes well, they (actually I think it was Islamic Jihad) issued a Fatwah for his death in the '80s.  Doubt it will do anything.

actually it was ayatolla khomeini, pretty sure.
