I’m sorry but your precious Ayatollah is dead as a dodo, dead as Diana, while Rushdie lives on.
In more Rushdie related madness, the Organisation to Commemorate Martyrs of the Muslim World, a fringe hardline group, offered a reward of $150,000 (£75,000) to any successful assassin.
Forouz Rajaefar, the group’s secretary general, said,
The British and the supporters of the anti-Islam Salman Rushdie could rest assured that the writer’s nightmare will not end until the moment of his death and we will bestow kisses on the hands of whomsoever is able to execute this apostate.
Even more ludicrously, hardliners in Iran revived calls for his murder yesterday. Mehdi Kuchakzadeh, a Tehran MP, declared,
Rushdie died the moment the late Imam [Ayatollah Khomeini] issued the fatwa.
Well, actually, mister Kuchakzadeh, he didn’t. Your bearded connoisseur of hatred discomfited the writer somewhat but did not actually manage to touch a single hair on his balding plate.
Come to think of it, the mere fact that your precious holy warmonger, worshiped, aided and abetted by millions of hysterical, Dalek-minded nitwits, didn’t even come close to shutting up one geeky looking writer, could tell you something about the level of support the ayatollah got from on high.
As of yet, the Heavenly score board reads:
Dead ayatollah  : 1
Dead S. Rushdie : 0
