Good Read!
Conclusion: We have a problem.
Is there such a thing as a moderate Holocaust boycotter? How about a moderate Holocaust denier? Would Winston Churchill's Great Britain give credence to the existence of Moderate Nazis?
The Jihadis became powerful because of our allowing the death of innovation in our dependence on oil from jihadi dominated countries. We created a Department of Energy Dependence and thus allowed Jihadis to think that they had wealth and power we need not have ceded to them.
Jihadists represent the true Islam... the only way for muslims to stop Islamic extremism is to stop being muslims themselves...

...by a man marked for death by his fellow Muslims. Rushdie is seen as a heretic and his words are giving comfort to the enemy.
Not much hope here I'm afraid.
Rushdie is to Muslims as Bishop Spong is to Christians ...an embarrassing joke with heretical ideas.
He might be an embarrassing joke but his views in the Islamic world is quiet controversial.
Remember that Islam needs to go through an "Enlightenment era" just like Christianity did back in 16-17th centuries.
Give it time!
And that's the truth.
Rushdie is a very bright and brave man.
How does anyone know this? Was a poll or study taken of millions of 'traditional' Muslims to determine 'certainly' if they live congenial, enlightened lives, to discover if they are truly tolerant of non-Muslims, and to reveal their personal political views of the world? Where can I find the results of such a study?
Nobody, absolutely nobody, anymore dares to say something negative about a person or institution without also heaping perfunctory praise on them to 'balance' their message, and to not appear prejudiced, even if the praise is unjustified, exaggerated or uncertain. This PC insanity only serves to neutralize or subvert their primary message. PC fosters confusion and illiteracy, and blurrs every distinction between good and evil, right and wrong, black and white. It exists within an ambiguous gray scale of nothingness.
I hope I live to see the funeral of King PC. That way when I die people will be able to say, "he's dead, I pray he's with God", instead of saying, "his DNA and spirit will always be with us, as he flys on wings of serentiy into the unknown eternity, with his significant other waiting patiently for him, to meet with the god-of-his-understanding, and to finally revel in his own personal truths".
Indeed, the answer is obvious. But before this religion will be impossible to defeat and stop, our government and every peace loving country in the world should do something to check them out. And the question is, are we deporting them?, are we closing their mosques?, are we treathening them if they incite violence against us?
The answer is abvious as well.
Someday the MSM and Liberals will understand this, and it will be very interesting to see all Americans ignoring political positions or stand just to have all of these muslims expelled.
There is nothing that Salmon Rushdie, or anybody else, can do to change that destiny.
BUMP
You know this guy survived one fatwa against him....and his courage is inspiring...but I believe it is a dead end. Islam is not the religion of peace some (ie. George Bush et al) would have you believe.

I was always expecting a showdown in the ME, but I never knew it was prophesied in the Bible. Could you please elaborate?
Anyway, Salman Rushdie has a hot girlfriend. I know it's out of topic, but I just couldn't help ;^)
