Salman Rushdie

I wholeheartedly agree with Yoder’s assessment of the philistinism displayed by the Bush Administration. What the Rushdie affair has taught us (and tragically, Salman Rushdie himself) is that whether it’s the Iranian, Indian or American government, it’s all one global political fraternity. They may be competing, but in the end they all follow similar rules and rites.
