Gandalf, at the great British blog Up Pompeii, reports that Lord Ahmed, the highest ranking Muslim Member of Parliament, is threatening that "Muslim businesses" will boycott, if Parliament does not rescind the Knighthood of Salman Rushdie.
"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."
Gandalf comments:
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.
