A Pakistani minister says Muslims would be right to launch suicide attacks over the Queen’s decision to award Salman Rushdie a knighthood. Religious Affairs Minister Mohammed Ijaz ul Haq told parliament: “This is an occasion for the (world’s) 1.5 billion Muslims to look at the seriousness of this decision. The West is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism. If someone exploded a bomb on his body he would be right to do so unless the British government apologises and withdraws the ‘sir’ title.”

That looks a bit like incitement to me. At the very least, the British government should have its lawyers check it out. Sometimes it’s important – and useful – to argue back.
