The question whether the Queen was right to knight Salman Rushdie or not has to be answered without taking into account our 'sensitive' times. It cannot be that easily offended religious muslim fanatics have an influence on that decision. One must never give in to these radicals who threaten to kill if freedom of speech is practized.. not one inch! It will only make them stronger.
Never give in, never apology. Not for freedom of speech. If they feel insulted by a book they have not even read, it's their problem.
