Now let's see CarolC:

I said - "somewhere in the vast number of posts to this thread, is listed the not inconsiderable literary honours, prizes and awards bestowed upon Sir Salman Rushdie.

The UK, via it's own honour system, awarded Salman Rushdie a Knighthood, for what exactly? I believe that it had something to do with literature."

To which you responded:
"Obviously I haven't got any 'proof'(regarding your statement that the award of the honour was "Muslim Baiting"), Teribus. And you don't have any 'proof' to support your position, either. You have only opinion."

Well no actually CarolC, it states rather clearly in official documentation/citation that Salman Rushdie was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in the Queen's Birthday Honours on June 16, 2007. Which I think supports my "position" rather well, far from being my opinion, the fact that Salman Rushdie was honoured for services to literature can be substantiated as plain a pikestaff in black and white on HM Government letterhead, and no doubt upon a rather handsome scroll, or certificate.
