Thread Name: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
Subject: RE: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
The ultimate "Muslim baiting" may be drawing a non-Islamic breath, living outside of the call of the muezzin, and reading a good book that doesn't include verses (satanic or otherwise) by Mohammed (pbuh).
You're not particularly given to hyperbole, are you, Mr. Matic?
I saw on the Wikipedia page about Satanic Verses that Mr. Rushdie's mother spent her final years in Pakistan, where she received a lot of support from ordinary Pakistanis.
BTW, Carol, WELCOME BACK! Gawd how I missed you!
I don't know whether to take this as sincere or as (barbed) irony.
