walid. just cos you have mentioned “intellectuals and scholars”; any “intellectual” or “scholar” will not impose her or his ideas on anyone. so if i as an “intellectual” or “scholar” think that a certain something is bad (a book let’s say), i will completely understand if you don’t agree with me and vice versa.

OPEN LETTER TO CHRISTIANS INTELLECTUALS & SCHOLARS

GIFT BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO MUSLIM FOR SUPPORTING BRITISH GOVERNMENT IN WAR AGAINST TERROR

WHO ARE FLAMING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS?

BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS PROVIDE GROUND FOR ANTI CHRISTEN FEELING IN MUSLIM WORLD

The British government awarded title Sir??? (KNIGHTHOOD) to Salman Rushdi (Called by Muslims as Satan Rushdi)

He is the author of The Satanic Verses??? who is opposed by Muslim all over the world but European countries are protecting his cruel act and continue to provide him support.
This act is not acceptable for 1.5 billion Muslims and seriousness of this decision should be realized and its impact on Muslim and Christian community relationships around the globe. Awarding a person who is among the most detested characters in the Islamic society is obvious proof of anti-Islamism mentality of British officials. Britain has an absurd, out-dated, elitist, imperial, patronizing and hugely loved and revered honours system. Twice a year or so, the Queen publishes a list of the great and not so great who have been awarded what is technically known as a gong – a peerage, a knighthood and various forms of orders, medals and companions of the British Empire. The liberal establishment tends to sneer and theres probably a real element of honours in exchange for political favours delivered – and even sometimes the sniff of money playing a part. But nonetheless, the recipients – the real ones who deserve their recognition – by and large appreciate it.
After this act of British Government I would like to place few questions to be considered by those who are flaming the relationship between people of different religions.
Is Sir??? Osman Bin Ladan and his organization is on the right track?
Talbans are right in killing invaders of Afghanistan?
Iraqis are justified in Killing British troops?
And lastly should 1.5 billion Muslims support an attack on British soil after this decision?
Play your role: Now the time for your right decision to bridge the gap between Christian and Muslim communities throughout world and condemned this decision.

Yes, John, he might have accepted the title to annoy Iran. He has a good sense of humor

I disagree with the Sir title being ‘colonial’ – knighthoods predate the colonial period by several hundred years.

I agree though that Rushdie would have turned it down a few decades ago. Possibly he only accepted it now because he knew how much it would annoy Iran.
