Re: Pakistan's reaction on Rushdie knighthood (merged)
do we have to pick sides every time, or should we be analyzing the situation and try to fix it
No, I don't think that I've mentioned any thing about picking sides. Your point wasn't clear in your post and I just wanted ome more explaination.
I personally think muslims should not give any importance to this title given by Britishs. But muslims should tell whites and blacks, hindus, and Britishs and Londeners, what Rushdie has written about them in his honoured book.
As those people haven't read the book either. And if some muslim wants to read it, he/she should read it online or by other means instead of wasting money. And also read the comments of the Scholars on it like Ahmad Deedat.
