Salman Rushdie has now lived with a price on his head for over a decade. Long after most Westerners have forgotten about him, Iranian Muslims are still raging about his case. [1] Recently suicide bomber recruitment in Iran was explicitly advertised as targeting Americans, Israelis, and Rushdie. And now a discussion thread in an Iranian forum (which claims to be "the largest Shia online community") has a significant number of respondents claiming they would kill or hurt him if they had the chance. From the [2] AhlulBayt discussion forum, with thanks to [3] LGF:
