This Just Proves That Islam is Tolerant!

Nearly twenty years after Salman Rushdie first published the Satanic Verses his fellow Muslims still want to kill him. What a tolerant bunch of fellows. Plus they're now pissed because the Queen has Knighted Rushdie, I say Bully to the Queen as she fights that fascist regime! (With apologies to the Sex Pistols). The reaction of the Pakistani "religious Affairs" Minister, Ijaz-ul-Haq is typical of that sadly delusional part of the world (hello Harry Reid?), “If someone blows himself up, he will consider himself justified. How can we fight terrorism when those who commit blasphemy are rewarded by the West? We demand an apology by the British government. Their action has hurt the sentiments of 1.5 billion Muslims." Pathetic.

Update: Little Green Footballs has some photos of the "advanced folks" burning Rushdie in effigy. A truly lovely bunch.

Update II: Pat Santy, the brains behind the mask of Dr. Sanity also has some choice words for our pathetic muslim neighbors. Including this observation: "I don't know about you, but I don't even want to share the same species classification with them. The title of Homo sapiens is completely inappropriate." Amen honey, I would like to add something about sharing the same Planet as the deranged of the muslim world.

Update III: The Gateway Guy at the Gateway Pundit was on this story like you-know-what this morning and he has his usual thorough roundup here.

Update IV: The great Michelle Malkin is also all over this story, no surprise but always worth mentioning!
