Sir Rushdie the Infidel

"The Organisation to Commemorate Martyrs of the Muslim World, a fringe hardline group, offered a reward of $150,000 (£75,000) to any successful assassin [who killed Rushdie]."

And here's a quote from a friend of mine who commented on this latest Rushdie fatwa re-issue (personal e-mail correspondence): "The Pakistani Parliament passes a resolution to be unwitting ironic brutes of the highest rank. Britain considers re-colonizing Pakistan in order to confer the honor of knighthood on the whole population for their contribution to hilarity."

I thought it went above and beyond what the Onion was capable of.
