And cannot be revoked, for that jackass is rotting where he lies. Rushdie's surviving the attack was indeed a miracle.
That the Muslims who rage againstRushdie do so over the fact that there are indeed "satanic verses" mentioned in the Koran demonstrates that the large share of the Islamic world is all too "submissive" to that ideology which they actually do not know nor study in any depth.
There are two Qurans, one for infidels to convince us the muzzies are peaceful, and one for the faithful.
Rushdie’s book was about the truth, and the muzzies can’t have the truth revealed.
THe Koran is a fairly short book and amounts to a small part of Muslim faith.
Most of what makes up the religion is contained in the Hadith which is a recount of the sayings of Mohammad and his associates.
Or a recount of how a war lord and his lieutenants justified their crimes.
It's all the same hate, instigated by the same evil entity. The hatred against the Jews by the Palestinians, Iranians, etc... is the same indoctrinated hatred instilled into blacks against 'whitey' here in the US by the Marxist left. All coming from Satan and his minions.
And weak-minded people fall for those lies because it is what they are brought up to believe in and over time, they have become comfortable with the negative feelings. They are destined for Hell, IOW... unless they can change their hearts away from the evil. Some can, most can't. Rushdie was given a chance, a grace from God. It's up to him whether he will use that grace to save himself. Free will, his choice.
