"Last night, a senior Labour Muslim peer appealed to ministers to put the award on hold and revealed that Muslim British businesses were trying to organize a nationwide shutdown in protest over the knighthood.
Lord Ahmed of Rotherham told The Daily Telegraph: ''I would urge and plead with all Muslims around the world to remain calm." But he warned that honouring the author put "Her Majesty the Queen in a very difficult position" as head of the Church of England as The Satanic Verses had offended Christianity as well as Islam."

Here we have a "peer" of the realm overtly threatening the state, the implication is that if the award to Mr Rushdie were to be held in abeyance then the shutdown of Muslim businesses in the UK would not happen, I must admit I find the phrase "Muslim" businesses" interesting, should it not be British businesses.
The shut down of these "Businesses" will not cause any great harm to the country, we all know that the nett gain to the UK from such sources is immediately offset by the amount of benefits that they claim, leaving each person in the UK -50p.
"lord ahmed" should be stripped of the honour this country has bestowed upon him (he did not do much to warrant it anyway) his interests are the Muslim community that is all
The Muslims in this country have tried to influence the Foreign policies of this country in such a way that it is beneficial to Muslims.
The excuses used are Iraq, Iran and "the middle East problem" meaning Israels defense of it borders and right to exist.
The Muslims in the UK now want to dictate who is honoured and who is not. where does this end, are they going to insist by means of more threats, that they have a say in who is appointed the head of the Bank of England for example or Government position.
Should the honour be given to someone who they do not agree with then threats and insults to our nation abound and then claim they are the victims of insult to their perverted prophet mohammed (I refuse to use capitals here).
Go read the whole thing over at Up Pompeii.
Oh, and here's a British cartoon about the uproar.
"Thank you for the offer, but when the time comes I must limit myself to gently tapping the sword on Mr Rushdie's shoulder."

This lord was one of the main stars in the "Channel 4" documentary about British mosques. It's in the end of the first part of the video.
[this is a French blog but the voice is in English].
What makes them think they are the only ones who know how to make threats? I hereby offer a fistful of the finest chocolate bars to anyone who will tar and feather Lord Ahmed and stuff a shoe in his big mouth.
Vorzheva,
Yes, he is. Lord Ahmed is the MP who said that that Mosque featured in the Channel 4 documentary "Undercover Mosque" was his favorite mosque. He touted its moderation, and called it "beautiful."
He is also the MP who tried to talk Parliament into cutting off the funding of Salman Rushdie's security patrol, which was made necessary by the original fatwa of death against Rushdie.
Lord Ahmed seems to work in conjunction with the Islamofascists in Britain.

Lord Ahmed works in mysterious ways.
Good one, of course the very peaceful 'Muslims' are justified for destroying the whole world over this. What? The Queen can't Knight someone she likes? She can't knight someone that other people don't like?
But I'm sure Sir Rushdie has mixed emotions on this; the Queen has put him in much greater danger. Maybe he'll wish he had turned it down.
At least this incident will lose the terrorists at least a few more of their dhimmidiot appeasers.
Islam in it's extreme is more political ideology than religion. In that way, it is only a 'Religion of Peace' in that when Islam rules the planet, there will be no one to be at war with. Where they are given an inch, they demand a mile. Islamic countries are becoming more extreme, extremists rule, they just keep quoting the Koran to justify their Jihad.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
appease religious killers
continue to spoil them
violent tantrums pay off
