You hurt my feelings? I kill you!
About that Salman Rushdie fellow receiving a knighthood — I wasn’t too interested, I’ve only read Fury, and definitely not attempted The Satanic Verses, even though it should probably on a list somewhere.
What I find amusing is the response from the Muslim world. They want the knighthood retracted because it hurts their feelings? <snark>I’m sure the avowed nationalist Sean Connery accepting a knighthood and SNP leader Alex Salmond accepting an invitation to the Privy Council ‘hurts the feelings’ of true Scottish nationalists everywhere, but I don’t hear them protesting for a retraction.</snark>
What I have a problem is the absolutism of these ‘religious’ types. Could non-Muslims say that all the ‘infidel’ comments hurt our feelings and we demand they stop it now? That would just make us Muslim-haters.
Fookin’ numpties. As Neil would say.

Wow - Do you think Andrea is trying to have a ’serious’ topic here, and we’re spoiling it with senseless fun?
Tutu, do you really think? I don’t want people to think this site is SERIOUS.
