Iran increases reward for Rushdie's death because of the Muhammad movie

Rushdie had nothing to do with the Muhammad movie, but who cares? Those "Islamophobes" are all the same anyway, right? The West hasn't yet rounded up and executed all the "Islamophobes" (yet), and the 15 Khordad Foundation is getting impatient.

"Report: Iran adds to reward for Rushdie's death," from the Associated Press, September 16 (thanks to Fjordman):

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian newspapers are reporting that a religious foundation has increased a reward for killing British author Salman Rushdie to $3.3 million from $2.8 million in response to alleged insults to the Prophet Muhammad.

The Sunday reports in the hardline Jomhoori Eslami daily and other newspapers appeared to be a reference to an anti-Islam film that sparked a series of protests across the Muslim world.

The report said that the 15 Khordad Foundation will pay the prize to whoever acts on the 1989 death fatwa issued by Iran's late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini against the author of the novel "The Satanic Verses," calling his book blasphemous.

The reward started at one million U.S. dollars and is occasionally increased.

Based on the principle that 'you might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb', why doesn't a group of like minded champions for free speech and freedom of expression get together and make a blockbuster called 'The Life of Muhammed'?

The 3D movie, with dolby surround sound and a star-studded cast, could reveal every sordid, true detail of the charlatan Muhammed's worthless life.

(And by the way, where is the ambitious artist who wants to make a name for him/herself by creating a 'Piss Qur'an'? Eternal fame beckons!!)

Of course, that's how the Muslim mind works. We're all unclean infidels anyway, so we're all to blame. The Iranians still hate Rushdie, so he's back on the hit list. They've never forgotten him. Just like their pathetic prophet, grudges lasted a lifetime!

By the way, just to remind anyone who had forgotten, and to inform those who didn't realize, I hope you aware that we are at war with Iran. We are also at war with a number of other Muslim nations.
When a nation threatens another nation with terrorist attacks, then they have declared war. A lot of people don't realize this but World War 3 has already started. When we look back at history, we will be remembering dates such as:
World War 1 1914 - 1918
World War 2 1939 - 1945
World War 3 19?? er...20?? - ????

We are in denial. Imagine if Britain had declared war on Germany in September 1939 and Hitler failed to acknowledge it or was too stupid to realize. This is what is happening today. We ARE at war already. It's about time that we accepted this and then we can deal with the problem at face value, stop importing citizens of the enemy, kick out all foreigners who are nationals of, or who were born in enemy countries, and FIGHT!
We can win this war but not while we continue to ignore it.

Q: What has long blond hair, huge tits, and lives in a cave in Greenland?

A: -

Now 3.3 mill...Allah never forgets, and even ups the reward...You would think since Allah knows everything, he could go after Salman himself, or tip off his location to some eager jihadi...If a dead Salman is worth 3.3 mill, I wonder what a captured live, and returned to Iran Salman would be worth?

I don't know the answer to that, but if you have any pics, I would be happy to to make a wild guess...

Thank god that canada pulled out of that islamic hell-hole and gave the boot to the Iranni Diplomats .

I only hope that the Toronto Dominion Bank , and BMO Nesbitt Burns learn from this and STOP endorsing the public event in Toronto where a Pro-Hamas group marches in a Parade with their banners to bash israel when we all know that hamas brutally muders homosexual as does Hizballah and Iran .
Shame on the Bank Of Montreal that pretends to crusade for gay Rights and Children's causes as they give a tacit approval to hamas that uses kids and females as suicide bombers.
The legal Dept. for the Bank of Montreal and TD should have known that the islamofascists were in canada and using them as useful tools to pay the victim much like the gays community, and then march in a parade while flying the hamas flag and endorse jihad.
Canadians should think about where the do their banking from no one, do they suport hamas and iran,or will they send a message to the bank Of Montreal to stop endorsing homophobic and murderous islamists.

oops, not sure why the typos don't always appear on my composition.

"Canadian's should think about where the do their banking from now on, do they support Hamas and iran,or will they send a message to the bank Of Montreal to stop endorsing homophobic and murderous islamists."

From 1989 to now, the reward only went up from $2.8m to $3.3m? At a rate of 0.776%, it doesn't even cover inflation.

Guessing Iran must be really cash strapped - pun intended - while supporting their puppets in war zones like Syria.

"The Satanic Verses" blasphemous?
Was Muhammad committing blasphemy when he received a message from Satan and delivered it to the people...as if it were from God?
I think Muslims deserve a new fatwa... against their prophet!
http://crossmuslims.blogspot.com/2011/10/muhammad-and-satan_24.html

I still have a hard time sympathizing with Salman Rushdie, even if I think he doesn't deserve the death penalty for _The Satanic Verses_. Time was when Rushdie was the great praiser of everything anti-American, and everything that weakened America's position in the world. He was an uncritical admirer of the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and Castro in Cuba. He praised that abstraction known as "the Third World" incessantly. Well, seeing him getting bitten by a "Third World" Revolution and then seeing him finding his place in the benighted, backwards, "intolerant", "racist" USA gives me both a feeling of Schadenfreude and one of disgust.

Maybe I ought to make a plastic model of Rushdie's head and send it to Ahmadinejad. Will he pay me?

Freedom of speech is far more important than Islam. Mankind can prosper without Islam, it cannot survive without freedom of speech.

Let me start this comment by suggesting reader remove all potential projectiles as well as this morning's beverages away from proximity of keyboard/screen as you read this breaking twitter feed:

Salman Rushdie says film that sparked protest in the Middle East is 'disgraceful' - @todayshow

WTH!? Especially after the decades-long Iranian fatwa against Rushdie was significantly enhanced hours ago.
[Insert string of choice unreserved cuss phrases of utter frustration here]

OF ALL THE KAFFIRS ON THIS PLANET - I WOULD EXPECT RUSHDIE TO BE ONE WHO WOULD FULLY COMPREHEND THE COLOSAL BLUNDER OF DISMISSING THE INDISPENSABLE VALUE OF UNFETTERED FREE SPEECH!


[Insert another string of unreserved cuss phrases here]
Lan Astaslem!

Iran increases reward for Rushdie's death because of the Muhammad movie
.............................

This should come as no surprise. I always rather thought the idea that the Fatwa on Rushdie had been rescinded was *far* too optimistic.

Look—I take your points. I have a lot of issues with Rushdie's stupid beliefs myself.

But not only is it the case that Rushdie *does not* deserve the death penalty for his novel, but it is important to realize the incredible boost his murder would give to Jihadists everywhere.

We need to defend Rushdie—both on general principles, and because of how emboldened Jihadists will be *if we don't*.
