Iran condemns Rushdie knighthood

Sir Salman went into hiding under threat of death
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".

'Detested figure'

Mr Hosseini told a press conference: "Giving a medal to someone who is among the most detested figures in the Islamic community is... a blatant example of the anti-Islamism of senior British officials.

I agree with Salman's book and his right to publish it without threat of violence.

Is it worthy of a fucking knighthood though other than to keep inter-ethnic tension in the UK high?

DEFINITELY NOT.

Jews bring them in - force everyone to unreseverdly accept them as equals, then stir the nest by doing.

Read the Talmud. All their justification for causing social upheaval, death and destruction to Christians in particular is there. No conspiracy whatsoever.

WHY SHOULDN'T RELIGIOUS PEOPLE BE INSULTED?

NO ONE IS OFF LIMITS BUT WE ALL KNOW WHY PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE INSULTED. IT TENDS TO SHUT THE INSULTED UP BUT ANY FUTURE COMMUNICATION IS DESTROYED.

ON THE OTHER HAND, IF YOU LEAD WITH BETTER KNOWLEDGE, YOU HAVE A CHANCE OF THEM LEARNING SOMETHING AND THEY MAY BECOME AGREEABLE.

THE PROBLEM IS, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BETTER KNOWLEDGE OR QUICKLY FORGET ANY BETTER KNOWLEDGE WHEN YOU HEAR IT, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FORCED TO RESORT TO INSULTS.

Mullahs up the ante on Rushdie fatwa..




NGO to Award $150,000 to Executor of Salman Rushdie

Iran Gov't news agency..
[link to www.farsnews.com]



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.

Earlier on Sunday, Iranian foreign ministry lambasted Britain for having awarded Salman Rushdie with a knighthood, saying the measure reveals the anti-Islam stances of the senior British officials.

"This move will certainly place the British officials and statesmen against the Islamic societies," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini told reporters during his weekly press conference here in Tehran today.

"This action displays that insults to Islamic sanctities is not a haphazard move and that it is a pre-planned movement guided and supported by certain western countries," he continued.

The real Satanic verses:
Muhammad basically said it was alright to worship idols and then changed his mind saying Satan made him say it!Al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat were some of the local idols worshiped in Mecca. Previously Muhammad had spoken against them in his monotheist preaching but now he recited that their "intercession is approved".

When Quraysh heard that, they were delighted and greatly pleased at the way in which he spoke of their gods and they listened to him ... Then the people dispersed and Quraysh went out, delighted at what had been said about their gods, saying, "Muhammad has spoken of our gods in splendid fashion". (Ibn Ishaq, p. 166) This is when he (Muhammad) did not have much power, but things changed when his followers grew in strength! Satan ... put upon his (Muhammad's) tongue "these are the exalted Gharaniq [4] whose intercession is approved". (Ibn Ishaq, pp. 165-166)
Hence the Satanic verses
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

 Quoting: mathetes


According to David Hawkins - a giant among secular spiritual teachers - Muhammad was very spiritually advanced at the time of the writing of the Qu'ran - although not reaching the perfect enlightenment of Jesus, Buddha or Krishna. He was swallowed by the darker forces - thanks in part to his acceptance of his "godlike" status among his followers - leading to a fall in spiritual consciousness all the way down to a fully dualistic POV - which led to violence, conquest and the enduring suffering of the Muslim people, who are captured in a non-evolving religion. I tend to agree with his assessment..

Now, not that I disagree with Mr. Rushdies freedom of speech against whoever hates it (including those book-banning israelites), but why do people care so much about the "royal" family?

In the span of a decade, the Ayatollah Khomeini has twice challenged Western civilization's deepest norms. By permitting a seizure of the American embassy, in November 1979, he violated the most hallowed laws of Western diplomacy.

In February 1989, he struck again, by calling for the murder of British novelist Salman Rushdie, and of his publishers.

NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO DO IT AGAIN
