Captain Falcon.
How many years has it been since Mr. Rushdie wrote "The Satanic Verses" anyway? Because they seem to have been holding this grudge for a long fucking time.

Captain Falcon,
1988.
And I think Khomeini took it as a personal insult.
The character "The Imam" was an asshole and was very much based on Khomeini.
What do you do when you win?

If you ever wonder where the anti-Muslim sentiment in some of the quotes here comes from, here you go.
At least it's good to see something other than the same Christian fundies over and over again.

"Islam will either evolve into a less insane doctrine, or it will face extinction because it is not compatible with the rest of the world."
No it won't. If fundy Christianity is still alive and well in the USA (and elsewhere), fundy Islam will still thrive in the Middle East. Sorry, but as long as doctrines contain the concept of eternal Hell for non-adherants, the fundies will always be there, pushing their extremist views with all their strength.

24 years? A long time? Come on, we're talking about religion here! In 1000 years from now, effigies of Salman Rushdie will still be burned, together with effigies of Bush and Blair. And possibly Pat Condell...

@Berny
Islam would do well to remember that a whole nation is not responsible for the making of a movie, or the writing of a book, or the publishing of cartoons.
Again, with most Islamic theocracies the government either produces all movies, books, and publishing or has final approval on what gets produced or published, so when someone in a western country produces a book or movie insulting Islam, they assume that that country's government approves of or actually produced said book or movie. So instead of being outraged and upset at the person who produced the book or movie, they become outraged at the entire country they happen to live in.

Yes, they would.
There will always be those who dislike being bullied so much that they stand up to threats.

It has always been the fantasy of fools and lunatic-fringe fanatics that all they have to do is one last thing, like killing Rushdie, and their imagined "enemy" will collapse in terror. In reality, every time they do something like that, the "enemy" just stomps their teeth in and things get even worse for them.
Someone once said that the sign of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

"Wow, I thought this site was full of the "it's okay because it's part of their culture" type. Interesting to not see you grovel. "
It's so considerate of you to deliver your fundie dumbness right to our front door.
Now go back to sleep.

I met your Imam Khomeini once, he was raping my dog, so I kicked him till the Prophet Muhammad came out his backside. Will You tell him to stay off my dogs! They're all male and they're too old for that kind of stuff.

So hopefully this ends the nonsense about us never quoting Muslims. Hell, these are just the ones I was easily able to search for. I bet there's more in here that I've forgotten about.

"It [the film] won't be the last insulting act as long as Imam Khomeini's historic order on executing the blasphemous Salman Rushdie is not carried out."
Ali Khameni called on god to strike down Rushdie. So, Ali Khameni died.
"If the imam's order was carried out, the further insults in the form of caricatures, articles and films would not have taken place."
No, you would have just gotten the west angrier faster.
"The impertinence of the grudge-filled enemies of Islam, which is occurring under the flag of the Great Satan, America and the racist Zionists, can only be blocked by the absolute administration of this Islamic order."
Like you've successfully imposed Islamic order on Israel?
