I believe that the trepidations expressed in Mr. Colebatch's TAS offering today are a bit thin-skinned and credit Moslems with more critical thought capacity than they are capable. Salman Rushdie's recent knighthood is a symbolic thumb to the eye of those who have perverted their religion, kill and abuse women and children and wear masks while butchering Westerners and each other. They probably don't approve of Sir Elton John either. So what? Just for spite, they should add Sir Paris Hilton, Sir Larry the Cable Guy and Sir Peewee Herman to the roster.

p>Any resistance (particularly European) to these fascists is a good thing. Anyone who thinks that they will fight harder or be more adverse to Western culture than they already are is engaging in unnecessary hand-wringing. Rushdie's knighthood was an act of some mild defiance as well as refreshing, classic British humour. Good show. br> -- Deane Fish br> Proud American Infidel br> Altamont, New York
