[Karina]

I hate double stanards too. Who started the hate, Karina? He did.

Ok please do explain why....... :?

true.but we Muslims should be patient and non-violent.Cartoons,books slandering Islam instead of criticizing its practices aren't to be paid attention.
I don't care about his apostasy,as long as he does not tell that "Islam sucks,praying ,beards,hijab and organisations of Muslims should be banned" or harm Muslims in anyway.which is why the death for apostasy was established in the first place.

This Guy is the Devil, he will receive the worst punishment from allah. Insha'allah

 

[Malaikah]

Can I please point out that it would be haram for any one of us here to kill him, or attack him or whatever.

IF indeed he is eligible for the death penalty under Islamic law it can only be implimited by the authorities, not some random Muslim.

 

[HBot 5000]

I'd think you'd have some sympathy for the guy, he spent 10 years in hiding just for something he wrote. They were going to kill him for it. Why is Islam so afraid of criticism?

Ask yourself why do christians, jews, hindus etc do not like critcism?

Islam and hence muslims encourage dialog. We do not mind constructive thoughts so we can discuss our way of life with outsiders however we draw the line at hate. SR did not invite constructive thoughts however he attacked Islam and hence in my opinion deserves what he got and certainly does not deserve this knighthood. +o(

 

[AmarFaisal]

Rushdie got the "honor" from those whom he has pleased by his anti-islamic writings n views.

 

[Hashim_507]

This man insulted the Quran and islam...U.K is giving message to the muslim world by honoring the devil.

 

[Idris]

Don’t only British’s individuals get knighted?

Actually, being one of the finest novelists of the the twentieth century rather helps. Perhaps you could enlighten us as to who else you think has been knighted for writing "something Anti-Islamic" that might suggest such a pattern?

Rushdie wrote other books, and that particular one was a Booker Prize finalist. If he had not received such an honour at some stage it would be purely to pander to those who claim to be "offended" by a book they have never read and, in most cases, have no idea what they are claiming to be "offended" by. I'm delighted that that was not done.

I wrote to be knighted or to receive honors in general is paved for those who write anti-Islamic Articles, it is en vogue! you really can do a simple google search, on some of the "renowned" Noble prize winners, some of the esteemed women's rights novelists who are coming to save us meek and feeble Muslim women and tie the pieces together and draw your own conclusions. I have no interest in drawing them for you, nor getting you to understand a Muslim point of view!
In fact I read many excerpts of Rushdi'es book and couldn't finish it, He offends me on many levels.
I don't see why it should bother you, that I dislike a particular fictional novelist? I didn't call for his beaheading, I stated sooner or later he is bound to go into his grave!

Why is Islam so afraid of criticism?

It's about respect, not fear...

Many people even in the time of the prophet even demonized the character of the prophet and the companions and they were left to their devices No one persecuted them.
I don't agree that there should be a death warrant on his head, In fact I believe it serves to give him more attention than he deserves. However I am not sure what to make of giving an award to such a person, or the likes of such a person... Clearly giving out a message to the Muslims that you are not going to be tolerated by us, and expect insults as it strikes our fancy. I really believe there are many ways to get your message across, one being, "Don't feed the dog and he'll die"
This shouldn't even be a topic for discussion, let him have his glory...

 

[- Qatada -]

:salamext:

Indeed, those who purchase disbelief [in exchange] for faith - never will they harm Allah at all, and for them is a painful punishment.

And let not those who disbelieve ever think that [because] We extend their time [of enjoyment] it is better for them. We only extend it for them so that they may increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.


[Qur'an 3: 177-8]​

Insha'Allah-- with that said, I think this thread should be closed, there is nothing more to discuss here, just more of the same, "Muslim barbarians" any Anti-Muslim sentiment, "civilized" and in the way of "free speech"
