MCB Response to Rushdie’s Knighthood
Tuesday 19 June 2007

Salman Rushdie earned notoriety throughout the world amongst Muslims for the highly insulting

and vilifying manner in which he portrayed early Islamic figures. The granting of a knighthood to him can only do further harm to our country's image in the Muslim world. The MCB considers it yet another example of insensitivity to Muslim opinion that will only result in their further alienation.

"In the face of such provocation, the MCB urges Muslims everywhere to exercise calm and restraint. The best way to honour our beloved Prophet is to remember him, and tell fellow human beings of his love, compassion and mercy."
