Riginslinger--even if it's your opinion that Rushdie is a Muslim-baiter, a debatable point, the fact that some people here support the reactions of certain muslims and muslim groups is indefensible. You don't kill people for what they write, and you don't foment violence against those that honor the merit of the work. How very 15th century!
Voltaire must be laughing from on high at the advanced folk of the 21st century.
