Insensitivity = Semtex

Didn't much care for the little Salman Rushdie I did read, but he's back in the news, with a knighthood, or O.B.E., or whatever. And at least he serves to remind people that we (that is "we," the entire West) are under constant threat of death if anyone in the Muslim world has their feelings hurt. Because that's all it is.
The majority of the world, after all, isn't Muslim, and doesn't acknowledge Muslim beliefs or confer any particular status on Mohammed. I refuse to even give him the title of "Prophet," because the next step, of course, is to insist that if I refer to him, I must include what are essentially statements of religious reverence, such as "peace be upon him." I should actually not phrase that in future tense, because insistence upon this honorific has already been made in the U.K. These things I refuse to do, or acknowledge that my rejection of them, and beliefs specific to Islam, constitute blasphemy.

Just because someone East of Suez gets ticked off about a knighthood in the U.K. can have no connection in any rational world to threats of suicide bombing, which is essentially what some Pakistani minister has threatened. All of which shows that we have not been dealing with anything rational in this war, nor have we ever. Therefore this will not end in diplomacy or treaties, but in the sword. Fight it now, or fight it later.
