herd of Muslims ROTFLMAO Jess because i am old and cannot remember if you kill Muslims in Herds, Gaggles or passles doesn't mean you can laugh at me young fella...... I was reading about that poor teacher in France, seems to me, we should be announcing his whereabouts and using him as the bait in a kinda Muslim blind, like shooting ducks. Shoot them suckers as they come in to kill that teacher fella. Wonder if ya need a license to shoot Muslims in France? Is there a limit on the number you can take in a day? Could be a whole new kind of hunting holiday..... Although I think we should not do like them Muslim Fellas and take heads as trophies, that would kinda scare the little uns, grandpa coming home with a suitcase full of heads......

Salman Rushdie says Muslim veils 'suck' ThisIsLondon.co.uk ^ \| 10/10/2006 thisislondon.co.uk The row over Muslim women's dress codes reignited today after author Salman Rushdie declared that "veils suck". Rushdie, whose book The Satanic Verses triggered death threats from Islamic clerics, gave his full backing to Leader of the Commons Jack Straw for raising the issue. Rushdie was forced into hiding for 10 years after Iranian cleric Ayatollah Khomeini served a "fatwah" on him over his book's alleged slight on the prophet Mohammed. He had round-the-clock police protection costing nearly £1 million a year, although that has been downgraded in recent years after Iran indicated the death sentence no longer applied. But Rushdie has always insisted he was right to publish The Satanic Verses and today he risked fresh Muslim anger with a savage attack on the wearing of veils. In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, held to mark the opening of a new joint exhibition with sculptor Amish Kapoor, he backed Mr Straw to the hilt. "Speaking as somebody with three sisters and a very largely female Muslim family, there's not a single woman I know in my family or in their friends who would have accepted wearing the veil. "I think the battle against the veil has been a long and continuing battle against the limitation of women, so in that sense I'm completely on [Straw's] side. "He was expressing an important opinion, which is that veils suck, which they do. I think the veil is a way of taking power away from women." Mr Straw triggered anger last week when he revealed he asked Muslim women visiting his constituency surgery to remove their veils. He said that seeing someone's face made it easier to communicate and felt the garment was a barrier to integration and good community relations. The publication of the Satanic Verses in 1989 triggered not just the fatwah from Iran but also riots in Pakistan, India and Turkey among Muslims who felt he had insulted the prophet. In the following decade, the book's Japanese translator was murdered and its Norwegian publisher and Italian translator seriously injured in separate attacks. Publisher Penguin received 5,000 abusive or threatening letters and 25 bomb threats. Rushdie is to open a joint exhibition with Kapoor at a London gallery, with a sculpture based on the story of Sheherazade, the Arabian woman who told stories to avoid a brutal death at the hands of a tyrant. Kapoor said today that he disagreed with Rushdie over the veils issue. He agreed, he said, with John Prescott, who said that he would find it rude to tell someone wearing sunglasses to remove them.
