You may have heard of Sir Rushdie, he is an author that has written some books which have actually induced riots and death threats against him. Amongst the books he has authored are: “Midnights Children”, “Shalimar the Clown” and “The Satanic Verses”. These books have been a fuel for religious Muslim groups to hate Sir Rushdie, and assassination attempts against him were executed. At the Paddington Hotel in London, a book bomb was being prepared by Mustafah Mahmound Mazeh in order to attempt to assassinate Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie, but the bomb went off prematurely, effectively killing Mazeh and destroying two floors of the Hotel. This incident was the first towards attempting to assassinate Rushdie that has failed.

Salman Rushdie received his Knighthood from the Queen of England during her Queen’s Birthday Honors ceremony. He received the Knighthood for services to literature, inciting protests by Muslim groups in several countries that did not believe he was worthy of the honors. Some groups even called publicly for his death. Several different groups including non-Muslim ones were also very disappointed in the Knighthood given to Rushdie as they said he did not merit the honors as well. Al Qaeda deputy Ayman Al-Zawahiri even claimed that the Knighthood was an insult to Islam and that a very precise response was planned against the act. For the Queen to have believed that his writings were great enough to earn him a Knighthood for his services to literature must mean something. The great books he has authored are available in many book stores as well as Online.
