Am a Rushdie fan for his linguistics. His politics and personal life need much to be desired. This has to nothing to do with my having been born into a Muslim household; so was Salman.

They too are trying to generate a loud sensational noise and how very hypocritical!

The Danish daily turned down the cartoons of Christ three years ago, on the grounds that they could be offensive to readers and were not funny." -- http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1703501,00.html An interesting side note to this whole controversy comes from the Guardian Unlimited (dated Feb 06, 06):

I think we as Muslims should not react by threats or burning buildings, it just makes the matter worse. But how can you prevent an religiously charged nation when you have attacked (by you I mean the eurpoean media) one of its own religious symoblic idols - Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), its like hitting below the belt (& very hard) It is actually the media which intially started the fiasco and now has feuled the hunger for a reaction by the Muslim world.
