More on Salman Rushdie and the Prophet Cartoons

Article 1: Salman Rushdie

This first article came out in today's papers, and I couldn't resist posting it here as it resonates with the post entry on 'Film Violence' earlier. You can see how in the three cases mentioned (Salman rushdie's novel, the prophet's cartoons, and the maker of the film video), all three have to go into hiding after they incurred the wrath of the muslim world, resulting in a price tag on their heads. I'm including an older article on the prophet's cartoons that created a similar storm some years back.
