Malaysians, Taliban, protest at Rushdie honor
That's right, the Brits have offended the Taliban, cavemen from another planet.
Supporters of Malaysia's hardline Islamic party protested outside the British embassy on Wednesday against the award of a knighthood to Salman Rushdie, whose novel the "Satanic Verses" outraged Muslims worldwide.Blah blah blah blah blah.
Chanting "Destroy Salman Rushdie" and "Destroy Britain," some 30 members of the opposition Parti Islam se-Malaysia urged Britain to withdraw the honor or risk the consequences.
"This has tainted the whole knighthood, the whole hall of fame of the British system," party treasurer Hatta Ramli told reporters after the party handed a protest note to embassy officials.
"The British government must be responsible because it has created a sudden feeling of anger not just on Salman Rushdie but on the British government," he said. "They have to bear the consequences." he said.
