Thank you nw for thinking out of the box.
Sometimes it is necessary to be one step ahead of the terrorists.

Regarding Rushdie, I’ll add these links:

“Rushdie knighted in honours list”

ARTICLE SNPPET: “Salman Rushdie, who went into hiding under threat of death after an Iranian fatwa, has been knighted by the Queen.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “It was banned in many countries with large Muslim communities and in 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini, Iran’s spiritual leader, issued a fatwa, ordering Sir Salman’s execution.

In 1998, the Iranian government said it would no longer support the fatwa, but some groups have said it is irrevocable.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In backing Jack Straw over his comments on Muslim women wearing veils, Sir Salman said veils “suck” as they were a symbol of the “limitation of women”.

He also weighed into the furore surrounding the Danish cartoons, which satirised the Prophet Muhammad, warning against Islamic “totalitarianism”.

Of his knighthood for services to literature, Rushdie said: “I am thrilled and humbled to receive this great honour, and am very grateful that my work has been recognised in this way.””

“POLITICAL
NGO to Award $150,000 to Executor of Salman Rushdie”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “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.

Secretary General of the Headquarters for Honoring the Martyrs of Islam World Movement Forouz Raja’ee-Far told FNA here on Sunday that his headquarters had announced in 2004 that it would pay $100,000 to anyone who could put into effect Imam Khomeini’s verdict and that after 3 years it has now raised the prize to $150,000.

Indian-born British author Salman Rushdie crushed Muslims’ sentiments and beliefs and sparked protests in Muslim countries around the world with his book The Satanic Verses. In 1989 the late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini issued a verdict of death sentence against him for blasphemy.

The move by the Iranian NGO follows a recent controversial move by the British Queen who awarded Rushdie with a knighthood.

Raja’ee-Far reminded that many world Muslims have voiced preparedness to exercise Imam Khomeini’s verdict since it was issued in 1989.

“And that’s why Salman Rushdie has been living with continued nightmares during all these 18 years,” he continued.

The NGO secretary general also added, “According to Imam Khomeini’s verdict, it is an obligation for all Muslims to kill Salman Rushdie even if he repents from the bottom of his heart and becomes the pious man of the time.”

“Also according to Imam’s verdict, if a non-Muslim person can find and execute Rushdie sooner than Muslims, it will be an obligation for Muslims to provide such a person with whatever he wants as his payment or prize,” he reminded.”

Cindy’s note: Inquiring minds want to know: If 100kg is not
the correct figure — does that mean the figure is too high
or too low?

“Iran said to enrich 100 kg uranium before new talks”
Reuters ^ | Fri Jun 22, 2007 8:42AM EDT | Fredrik Dahl

Posted on 06/22/2007 7:55:02 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has stored 100 kg of enriched uranium material, its interior minister was quoted on Friday as saying, in comments that may worry Western powers who suspect the Islamic Republic of seeking to build nuclear bombs.

But a senior Iranian nuclear official cast doubt on the information. “The figures are not correct,” the official, who declined to be named, told Reuters.”
