Religion of Peace™ calls for suicide attacks against UK

It’s been 18 years since Salman Rushdie wrote “The Satanic Verses” which has allegedly insulted Islam. Islam appears to get insulted when leaves drop off trees in some unapproved manner and their response to being insulted is uniformly violent and disproportionate. There appears to be no situation where someone speaks ill of Islam that does not draw calls for that person’s murder, mutilation, or attacks against that person’s homeland.

So it is with Rushdie. When the 1989 fatwa was issued by then-Iraqi leader Khomeni calling for Rushdie to be killed, Rushdie had to go into hiding for nearly a decade. Now, at 81 years of age, Rushdie was honored by the British Parliament for his literary achievements by the granting of a knighthood. That’s now Sir Salman Rushdie, thank you.

So, what is the reaction of highly-placed leaders of the Muslim world? Why, it’s to give the green light to terrorists who would strap dynamite around their chests and blow themselves up in coffee shops and movie houses, of course.

Pakistan on Monday condemned Britain’s award of a knighthood to author Salman Rushdie as an affront to Muslim sentiments, and a Cabinet minister said the honor provided a justification for suicide attacks.

In the eastern city of Multan, hard-line Muslim students burned effigies of Queen Elizabeth II and Rushdie. About 100 students carrying banners condemning the author also chanted, “Kill him! Kill him!”

And there you have it. The Religion of Peace™ responding exactly as they are characterized and right on cue. The Brits have not, as yet, backed down and withdrawn the knighthood, and good for them. The kind of petulant, childish bullying attitude expressed by these “students” will only continue to get worse the more they are catered to. Time to grow up in the world.
