"Simply put the Europeans are jealous of the U.S. just as the muslims are.

Your comment makes me wonder if you're aware that Rushdie, although a British citizen, is actually an Indian-born Moslem who lives under a threat for his life. An Iranian Ayatholla issued a Fatwa (decree) that he be killed for his criticism of Islam in his book "The Satanic Verses".

Rushdie's comments strike differently depending upon who you think is talking.
