Now that you 've called him Sir, we 'll bomb you!

If you proclaim that two people are your enemies and one of them honours the other, should you raise a storm over it? NO NO NO!! But apparently the Muslim extremists the world over do not get this. The knighthood of Mr. Rushdie is an insult to us and our religion, they say. Here we have a nation that has a colonial legacy and imperialist present (read support for the war on of terror :-) ) , conferring a title on a writer, who in the first place should not have accepted it, and instead of looking at the whole thing as an exercise in stupidity it is perceived as an insult and a hue and cry is raised over it. Someone has also called for a strike in Kashmir, he he he. I wait to hear the liberal voice, preferrably Muslim, denouncing this on national television.
