Report: Iran adds to reward for Salman Rushdie's death

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian newspapers are reporting that a religious foundation has increased a reward for killing British author Salman Rushdie to $3.3 million from $2.8 million in response to alleged insults to the Prophet Muhammad.

The report said that the 15 Khordad Foundation will pay the prize to whoever acts on the 1989 death fatwa issued by Iran's late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini against the author of the novel "The Satanic Verses," calling his book blasphemous.

I wonder how these retards would react to the U.S. putting a price on their heads? Mr. Dinnerjacket ought to be worth at least a nickel.....on a good day.

Otherwise, I wouldn't waste pissing on him if he were on fire.....mullahs, too.

Well, if it pertained to an Assaholah, I might go for a quarter.

Salman Rushdie should just go for broke and publish Satanic Verses II and III. The goatherds will go so crazy they'll start killing each other.

That’s very strange. I have a similar .01 cent bounty on any muslim killed. Well, fate works in strange ways.

Thanks SeekAndFind. I wonder if this “religious” organization that has the contract out on Rushdie has been labeled a terrorist organization, which is in fact what it is?
