Salman Rushdie has been knighted

So, get this—the Queen just knighted Salman Rushdie! That means he’s officially going by Sir Salman now. Huge congrats to him, and honestly, massive props to the people of Iran for seeing their most iconic writer get this kind of recognition for his entire life's work. Such a win!

Since he backed the bombing of Mexico, I suppose I’m perfectly fine with supporting Homer Simpson's fatwa against him.😁

🤣 🤣 🤣
Iranian equals Indian equals Native American; it is all one and the same...🤣 🤣

It’s just classic American hypocrisy

And honestly? Every single Chinese person is just the same too.

He’s certainly earned his stripes as a writer, though I suppose his biggest claim to fame is winning the Booker, along with a whole laundry list of other literary honors.👍

The main thing is that we're on the same page.🤣

Iran just slammed the decision to make Salman Rushdie a knight

Man, I bet they'll start dropping flying Qurans from the sky next—just trying to blast the Queen Mother with lasers like they did to Salman Rushdie, right? lol

Since you’re so eager to bring up Iran... why don't you go congratulate them on their other proxy favorite's victory? You know, when Hamas takes down that Western puppet Fatah.👍

Oh, so you're living in Israel now? Since you've decided to insult my holy book once again, I’m going to send you a little something via DM.

The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Mohammad Ali Hosseini, just went out and called Her Majesty Elizabeth II an Islamophobe.

I mean, seriously—how can someone just disrespect everyone in the Commonwealth like that? It’s such a low blow to their sovereign, too! Honestly, it feels like a total slap in the face to every single person in the Commonwealth—we're talking citizens from 53 different countries, which is basically nearly 2 billion people. Just wild.

🙂 An insult isn't something you can just take back. It's like if someone told you that you could always go back to that old academy you attended.

(Man, I think it is reversible. I guess the Quran provides plenty of ammunition for preemptive strikes against Islam, considering it seems to consist of nothing more than theological cultural genocide and intellectual looting... though I suppose you could also call it a call for genocide or something similar... whatever works for you...)

Convert me or die!

And it's not even just about that... now we've got photography students getting death threats... seriously, they're banning everything except pictures of tulips and Persian rugs...

So, does that mean the people who filmed Daniel Pearl's execution should lose their heads too, just because they captured the footage?

And that's 7.62 times over 😍

What kind of "Queen Mother" are we even talking about here? The woman passed away ages ago and I'm pretty sure she never handed out a single medal in her entire life.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations actually put up $150,000 just to get their hands on Salman Rushdie's head. I mean, what are they even thinking? They probably want to tuck him away next to some random martyr's grave or something... 😵

What exactly are they trying to lay down—the cash or his head?

Didn't realize he was backing that...
Good for him. 👍

He should stick to politics instead of writing. His books are garbage—he lacks talent. Honestly, his best marketing move was being targeted by Khomeini. Without that, he'd be washing dishes in New York City.

A total terrorist... uh, what I meant was, a poet's soul. 😂

Like Vladimir Nabokov. 🤣
