I have been thinking the last couple of days as to the wisdom of Britain knighting Salman Rushdie at this point in time. Rushdie was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in Queen Elizabeth's birthday honours list published on Saturday. Pakistan's minister for parliamentary affairs, Sher Afgan Khan Niazi said the honour was an insult to the religious sentiments of Muslims and led chants of kill him to Muslim stidents as they burned Rushdie's effigy.
She said It is a slap on the face of Muslims. It is not acceptable at all," the Reuters news agency quoted her as saying. One opposition MP, Khwaja Asif, said the knighthood exposed a contradiction in the government's policy as an ally of Britain in the international war on terrorism.
Mohammad Ali Hosseini, a spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry, said the decision to honour the novelist was an orchestrated act of aggression directed against Islamic societies. He said Rushdie was "one of the most hated figures" in the Islamic world. "This act shows that insulting Islamic sacred [values] is not accidental. It is planned, organised, guided and supported by some western countries."
I understand he is supposed to be quite an Author but the only work I am familiar with is his Satanic Verses which led Muslim's to call for a Fatwa against him and caused him to go into hiding. They say the Indian born Authors Knighthood was long overdue. I don't know about that. I think it could have waited a bit longer in light of widefelt Muslim emotions clling for death to the west and everyone around the world it seems.

I started wondering about the negative repercussions to the West of Knighting the most hated figure in the Muslim world so I started to do some research and I also remembered something I wrote here a year and a half ago that was right on and quite prophetic as to Iraq, Iran, the middle east, and the entire Muslim World, it warrants atleast a quick go over. Do you remember Bomb Built,Bush supplied fuse, Cartoons lit it, Explosion is Commencing!? http://anaverageamericanpatriot.blog...
Those of you that have read my diaries know I try to remind people as often as I can that this so called war on terror is just getting started and as a reminder of the hell some Muslim's want for us. We were made aware of an Alqaeda Graduation yesterday where Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com.
Teams assigned to carry out attacks in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany were introduced at an al Qaeda/Taliban training camp graduation ceremony held June 9. The tape shows Taliban military commander Mansoor Dadullah, whose brother was killed by the U.S. last month, introducing and congratulating each team as they stood.
"These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places," Dadullah says on the tape. "Why shouldn't we go after them?" The leader of the team assigned to attack Great Britain spoke in English. http://blogs.abcnews.com/...
I watched the tape and I recommend that you do too. It was quite sobering as the Commander appeared to drive up in a police car, many faces were not coverd, and they all just sat there waving white flags.
I also ran into this about A palestinian Kindergarton Graduation in Gaza of all places. what a coincidence huh? .
The boys were shouting Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah. "Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah. "Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah. "Allah Akbar. Praise be to Allah. "Who is your role model? The Prophet. "Who is your role model? The Prophet. "What is your path? Jihad. "What is your path? Jihad. "What is your most lofty aspiration? Death for the sake of Allah. "What is your most lofty aspiration? Death for the sake of Allah.
You will notice that these kids want to die "for the sake of Allah." It has nothing to do with Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Israel. If the U.S. packed up and left those countries today, and Israel ceased to exist, Muslims would find some other reason to "die for Allah." Like the wise man said, excuses http://allthingsconservative.typepad...I
t is not Just a coincidence that we seem to constantly be doing what we can to worsen Muslim relations to have the ultimate face off between Islam and the west and Islamist fervor will not be quelled as they have the same goal for us. What do you think about that?
