If any of the posters who have criticized suggestions in this thread that Rushdie's knighthood was Muslim-baiting were referring to my posts in their criticisms, they have completely mischaracterized everything I've said (no surprise there), which is a very dishonest debating tactic. But I have no doubt that this causes them no concern whatever.

If they were not referring to anything I've said myself, then what I just said doesn't apply to them.
