But that isn't the half of what they said! But the tip of the iceberg. It's all perfectly scrumptious, in a perverted, deluded sort of way:
If someone exploded a bomb on his body he would be right to do so unless the British government apologizes and withdraws the 'sir' title," ul-Haq said, also urging Muslim countries to break diplomatic ties with London.
***This is generally known as murder, or blackmail, of course, or both. And you are who to dictate to the British government? Naturally Britain's heart would be broken.
"If Muslims do not unite, the situation will get worse and Salman Rushdie may get a seat in the British parliament."
****Please, please! Someone literate, intelligent and informed in the House of Commons! Alas, it cannot be, he's a bloody writer, not a pollytickian (parasite on the body politic).
After his comments were reported on local news networks, ul-Haq clarified to lawmakers that his aim had been to look into the root causes of terrorism.
*********Bwahahah.

***Oh well, that's that, then. Never mind the small matter that the late unlamented has no jurisdiction in Britain, and never did have.
Sigh, we went through all this with the Vatican. In 1688. Same gig: the jurisdiction of the Faith transcends national boundaries.
And I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm.

Or as Voltaire put it:
…it's because of thinking that Sweden, Denmark, the whole of your island, half of Germany groan under the terrible misery of no longer being subjects of the pope.
[…….c'est pour avoir pensé, que la Suède, le Danemark, toute votre île, la moitié de l'Allemagne, gémissent dans le malheur épouvantable de n'être plus sujets du pape]
