Iran condemns Rushdie knighthood

Sir Salman Rushdie

BBC: Iran has criticised the British government for its decision to give a knighthood to author Salman Rushdie.
His book The Satanic Verses offended Muslims worldwide and led to Iran issuing a fatwa in 1989, ordering Sir Salman's execution.
Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said the decision to praise the "apostate" showed Islamophobia among British officials.
The UK Foreign Office said Sir Salman's honour was "richly deserved". Congratualtions, Sir Rushdie!!!

In the meantime, a religious fascists/Gestapos group (NGO?) is offering $150,000 reward for beheading the author.

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- An Iranian Non-Governmental Organization (NGO?) announced that it would pay a $150,000 prize to anyone who could put into effect a death sentence decree issued by the Late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, against Salman Rushdie for blasphemy.

How very Islamic!!!
