Salman Rushdie Knighted

I don’t know whether Salman Rushdie deserves a knighthood or not and, as a staunch republican, I would think twice about accepting an honour from the queen even if she gave me one.

Be that as it may, the knighthood is a sign that we in the west will never bow down to the tyranny of radical islam or any other totalitarian religions including the more malignant forms of Christianity that have poisoned our societies in the past.
