While the world is busy delivering post mortems on Sir Rushdie’s Knighthood, it occurred to me that perhaps by being Knighted the Crown could provide him with more personal protection against the apoplectic Muslims threatening his life. I’ll have to research this.

Sir Salman Rushdie got Islam’s goat!
A group of Muslim clerics in Waziristan in northwestern Pakistan has offered a prize of $11.5 Million to anyone who kills Muslim author Salman Rushdie, recently knighted by the Queen of England.

Will they pay a Jew or need only Muslims apply?
Shlomo,
I checked into it and found out they will pay a Jew for Sir Rushdie’s head, but only half price.
The rub is that they’ll immediately kill the Jew and take the money back. You know, taqqiya (Dissimulation) and all of that. But don’t tell anyone. I promised I’d keep the last part a secret.
So what do I have to do? Mail the head in somewhere with a stamped self-addressed envelope enclosed so they can send me the balance? Is that basically how it works? Or do the United States and Iran use PayPal for such reimbursements? I’m just asking because I think it’s important for people to know how it’s done. I hate to see someone go to all this trouble and then get stiffed by the effing mullahs.
You just deliver the head to CAIR, in person, and they’ll handle all the details.
Badda Bing! Badda Boom!
