Ayatollah revives the death fatwa on Salman Rushdie (integral)
June 19, 2007
The Ayatollah and other extremist are up in arms about Salman Rushie’s being Knighted by the Queen of England.
A FATWA against the author Salman Rushdie was reaffirmed by Iran’s spiritual leader last night in a message to Muslim pilgrims.
British officials anxiously played down comments after Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told Muslims making the annual pilgrimage to Mecca that Rushdie was an apostate whose killing would be authorised by Islam, according to the Iranian media.
BBC:
His book The Satanic Verses offended Muslims worldwide and led to Iran issuing a fatwa in 1989, ordering Sir Salman’s execution.
These extremists are at an Amber - ethnocentric stage feeling a need to use violence and force to protect their traditions. The pressure on these extremists primarily comes from organge - ethno to worldcentric rational stage Western culture which has become globalized. The Amber extremists (be they muslim, christians or otherwise) are fighting evolution which is like trying to Ice skate up hill.
