I was told that Rushdie's writing wasn't even very good.

I think you were possibly told wrong.

Those Muslims that are freaking out about it have every right to be upset. Just because your beliefs and paradigm are different doesn't make their anger illegitimate.

Not to say that I would condone violence because of it, just that you really shouldn't judge cultures when you know next to nothing about them.

I'm not judging the culture. I'm judging the retarded reactionism coming from people that scream for Rushdie's head because of his book, and now because of his knighting. How can you be expected to tolerate people that will immediately threaten suicide bombings and other acts of violence because of percieved "insults" to their religion?

In their minds they are defending their beliefs, and I'd like to think that if I had any beliefs of my own I'd have the conviction to voice my displeasure when they are being maligned. As long as they don't actually implement plans of murder/torture/bombings/whatthefuckever it's pointless reacting to them.

What, so it's ok to shout "Rushdie must die" as long as you don't personally attempt to kill him?

I wonder if these people realise how utterly fucking childish they've made themselves look?

Unfortunately these are the kinds of children that cut fucking heads off and torture (and THEN ask questions) just because one doesnt agree with them. And they're only getting more dangerous.
