Salmon Rushdie invokes another fatwa (Soon coming to a theater near you, Kill Bill lll: The Satanic Revenge)
Salmon Rushdie has gone done it again in an interview for Elle magazine. It seems that whenever the man writes or says something meant for public consumption, he manages to offend millions of people, driving them to murderous rage in the process.
Remember that homicidal bride of the Kill Bill movies?
Indeed.
It’s one thing to offend some senile Ayatollah and a few battalions of bloody-minded butchers but quite another to try and stand between a woman and that acclaimed ‘best day in her life’:
The author of The Satanic Verses has been married four times, most recently to Padma Lakshmi, from whom he split up last year.
“It’s strange, given that I’ve been married four times, but I actually don’t think marriage is necessary,” Sir Salman told the writer Kathy Lette in an interview for Elle magazine. “Girls like it, especially if they’ve never been married before – it’s the dress. Girls want a wedding, they don’t want a marriage. If only you could have weddings without marriages.”
Sir Salman also disclosed that he and Miss Lakshmi had marriage counselling, but without success.
