Re: lmao! fatwa issued on paul mccartney.

rushdie is one of the great authors of our generation. not an easy read, however. i've struggled through a couple of his books.

Paul McCartney.

His planned participation in a concert celebrating Israel's 60th anniversary has made him the enemy of all Muslims, British tabloid Sunday Express quoted Bakri as saying.

Bakri's threat was made in a weekly Internet broadcast from Lebanon, where he has lived in exile since being banned from returning to Britain. The 48-year-old Syrian national questioned the Holocaust's authenticity, and asked how McCartney could participate in the celebration of the independence of the Jewish state.

"Instead of supporting the people of Palestine in their suffering, McCartney is celebrating the atrocities of the occupiers. The one who is under occupation is supposed to be getting the help," Bakri said. "Our enemy's friend is our enemy," the Muslim leader told the Sunday Express.ing the help," Bakri said. "Our enemy's friend is our enemy," the Muslim leader told the Sunday Express.

Re: lmao! fatwa issued on paul mccartney.

imo. he is ok, but definitely not one of the greats. if he unanimously is considered such, then that unduly reveals much about our generations. i find his works rather petty.

i'm all for differences of opinion on artistic matters, but the guy is a decorated author. just reading his biopic off wiki should tell you how revered he is in the world of literature...

Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie Kt. (born June 19, 1947) is an Indian-British novelist and essayist. He first achieved fame with his second novel, Midnight's Children (1981), which won the Booker Prize in 1981. Much of his early fiction is set at least partly on the Indian subcontinent. His style is often classified as magical realism, while a dominant theme of his work is the story of the many connections, disruptions and migrations between the Eastern and Western world.
His fourth novel, The Satanic Verses (198, led to protests from Muslims in several countries, some of which were violent. Faced with death threats and a fatwā (religious edict) issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, then Supreme Leader of Iran, which called for him to be killed, he spent nearly a decade largely underground, appearing in public only sporadically. In June 2007, he was appointed a Knight Bachelor for "services to literature", which "thrilled and humbled" him. He also holds, in France, the highest rank — Commandeur — in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. In 2007, he began a five-year term as Distinguished Writer in Residence at Emory University. In May 2008 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His latest novel is The Enchantress of Florence, published in June 2008. In July 2008 Midnight's Children won a public vote to be named the Best of the Booker, the best novel to win the Booker Prize in the award's 40-year history.

and why would you find his work 'petty'??

Re: lmao! fatwa issued on paul mccartney.

eh, i guess i should properly salute him, at least for pissing off the a-rab hornets nest

lol. i choose loose words often, but all in all i'm just a bit indifferent towards his lit., in contradistinction to other stuff worth reading, thats all.
