I think the British Govt. had every right to confer the knighthood
on Rushdie. I think he is fully derserving of the honour conferred
on him.
I am not a muslim but with things the way they are I feel this was
not the right time for the British Govt. to honour someone whom the
muslim community think blasphemed against the Koran.

Would you mind telling us exactly how Rushdie has "blasphemed against the
Koran"?

I (unlike you, it would seem) know the Koran, and have read Rushdie's work.
I see no blasphemy.

No, of course I don't expect a rational answer. Go ahead and scream about
whatever you like; we don't expect people who can only talk in a scream to
make sense.

Look I never said Rushdie blasphemed against the Koran. I only said
they think he did . Muslims are fanatical when it comes to their
religion. Christians and Hindus and people of other religions are
much more tolerant of other religions. The problem is you have a
large muslim community in Britain..so why inflame their hatred when it
can be avoided. Let's say you know somone is crazy,would you do
something to upset the person.
