Someone we need to hear from: Salman Rushdie

Salman Rushdie is someone we need to hear from so we can gain some insight on the furor in the Muslim world over the Danish Mohammad cartoons.

On the other hand, it makes sense that he keeps a low profile until the dispute plays out.

From The Australian:

Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, head of the hardline Hezbollah movement, said: "I am sure there are millions of Muslims who are ready to give their lives to defend our prophet's honour."

He said people would not have dared to insult Islam if novelist Salman Rushdie, the subject of a fatwa for his novel The Satanic Verses, had been executed.
