Salman Rushdie is a major-league jerk.

So? The fact is that "polite" people are just too darn polite to speak unpleasant truths, so you have to be a bit of a jerk to get your hands dirty in that regard.

I take my nick from Salman Rushdie, out of respect.

No he's not 100% American like me. How could he be?

But he told it like it is about Islam while most of us were sleeping. That must count for something.
