Considering Rushdie is a British citizen and was a London resident when Satanic Verses was published, why is that on point?
I believe Rushdie lives in New York, so lighten up ;o)
The Koran really is a “Call to War” by Muhammed against all non-believers. People live in terror in Muslim countries (especially the women). Nothing admirable in that book. Mein Kampf comes to mind. The Bible on the other hand is a book of hope and salvation for all of us sad sinners. Muslims who become Christians really know what I am talking about.
I have no problem with burning the Koran - it is an evil book and not holy by any civilized standard. Our soldiers are getting killed over there right now for no really good reason.
