Author Salman Rushdieagainst whom Irans Ayatollah Khomeini issued a death fatwa in 1989 because of his book The Satanic Versessays that it is a miskake for President Barack Obama not to use the term Islamic terrorism. [ ]
Rushdie was responding to a question from an audience member on whether he had changed his views since he had written a 2001 New York Times opinion piece entitled Yes, This Is About Islam.
The answer is, no, they havent changed, Rushdie said. And I think, actually think its a mistake that the president is making to not use the term Islamic terrorism.
Because, of course, its not what a majority of Muslims would think or want, Rushdie explained. Of course, its a freakish manifestation that has grown up inside Islam. But to say that its not about Islam denies what the killers themselves always say.

Poor Rushdie. The political left is about to call down a second fatwah on his head.
Earth to Rushdie: Radical Muslims don’t call Islamic terrorism Islamic terrorism.
Obama is a mistake.
What it is is a purposeful lie.
It’s a calculated omission, not a ‘mistake’.
You prefer not to call your prom date “ugly” either?
Because, of course, its not what a majority of Muslims would think or want

Well then they should renounce Islam because it’s what Allah commands them
This guy is 100% right. He’s got a pair far bigger than Obamas.
Its a fundamental failure to realize that Islamic culture and social customs are simply not compatible with the values, practices and institutions of Western modernity.
Salmon, the only mistake is not realizing that Imam Obamessiah INTENTIONALLY refuses to call it what it is because he hates America, Christianity and the West and he whole-heartedly supports it and Islam’s ultimate goal of world domination and subjugation! Tagline
Its a calculated omission, not a mistake.
Obama is a master of the use of “Taqiyya”.
Two hundred twenty days until Obama is out of office.... not that I’m counting or anything.
No, it’s not a mistake.
Obama is too much of a pot smoking incoherent rambling low info coter connecting retard with the peace sign to be able to deal with the intelligenc and “boring” teacher Salman
* Obama is too much of a pot smoking incoherent rambling low info voter connecting retard with the peace sign to be able to deal with the intelligent and “boring” teacher Salman .
Calling him islamophobic will suffice...
Lazamataz is counting the days, most days
It’s 293
Not only would admitting a mistake mean he would have to change his world view and his view of islam, but he would have to sacrifice his pride to humility and be humble, which he would never do. Prideful people continue to dig a hole rather then fill it in before it collapses on them. Pride and audacity are the same side of the coin.
