On Rushdie's knighthood, silly Iranian officials and my eternal debt to the Satanic Verses

A spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry has claimed that Salman Rushdie's recent knighthood is another example of the West slapping the Muslim world in the face. For my own part, I wish the Iranians would get over Khomeini and his silly fatwa. Personally, I owe a huge debt to Rushdie and his most famous/infamous novel, The Satanic Verses. It came out when I was in high school, and was immediately banned in both Bangladesh and India.
