Question:

Why are Paquistani people so angry because the British want to make Rushdie a knight?

How is it their business?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: A few Muslim clerics have convinced their followers that Rushdie is an enemy of Islam. This is based on a distortion of a few of his stories that some found insufficiently reverent. Of course, few of these people will ever bother to read the stories for themselves. By extension, they find any honors granted to Rushdie to also be insultng to Islam.
