[QUOTE]Originally posted by SayWhatYouSee: [QB] Tarka: ''I had no idea that he had written all those books. I read some reviews of his, and maybe he is a good writer, I cant say. I think my view is that someone who has offended so many people of any faith shouldnt be glorified, It does cause frictin and it does send the wrong message.'' Tarka, Rushdie was knighted for services to literature. He is a good writer. He is also a controversial one but is that a reason to deny his contribution? Muslims, like Christians and other religions have to understand that the views of those of faith are no more or less important than the views of those opposing faith. The wider argument concerns the sensitivity of awarding this honour, given the criticism Rushdie has received. What is the wrong message though? That writers should be ignored as their freedom of expression offends some? For decades christians have made similar protests about blasphemy. They might not like it, but they have learned mostly to accept the freedom of expression of those with different views. More Muslims will too, in time, I hope. If Satanic Verses had been given less attention, Rushdie would not have the level of attention he has now. He would still be a good writer though, imho. [/QB][/QUOTE]
