The Muslim World and Salman Rushdie

Salman Rushdie: Conversely, many parts of the Muslim world cheer the most extreme anti-western voices, according to The Star. He is respected in the West as well as in the Muslim world. He speaks ill of neither. He sings the virtues of both, even while condemning Rushdie for gratuitously insulting the Prophet Muhammad. He has also berated the Wests stunning lack of knowledge about Islam that lets Islamophobe ignoramuses dictate public discourse disproportionately and The Muslims loved by the West are usually the ones most hated by Muslims such as Salman Rushdie, the Shah of Iran, Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the Muslims most quoted by the media and courted by right-wing politicians, including the Stephen Harper Conservatives are those who attack Muslims and Islam. The Aga Khan strides in between those extremes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
