Rushdie was a hero as long as he ridiculted the other guy's beliefs. Now that he ridicules ours he's a bum. Typical...and pathetic.

Who says he's a hero? Oh, by the way, "ridiculted". I like that. Kind of ironic.

How many people on here actually read his book? Most of us know only what we have heard in the media - that he wrote a book criticizing Islam. I doubt many of us equate Islam with Christianity. You may.

How do you come up with that kind of reasoning?

Rushdie wrote a piece of fiction that included a few pages offensive to Muslims. They responded by demanding his death, and even put a bounty on his head.

Rushdie then comes along and attacks ALL religious folks and demands that perfectly peaceful and law abiding Christians should be locked in the cupboard and silenced.

Sounds to me like Rushdie's the hypocrite here. He demands free speech....but only for himself and those who share his views.

That you didn't notice that is typical...and pathetic.
