Report: Iran foundation boosts reward for death of author Rushdie, after Prophet ‘insults’


TEHRAN, Iran — A semi-official religious foundation in Iran has increased a reward it had offered for the killing of British author Salman Rushdie to $3.3 million from $2.8 million, a newspaper reported, days after protests coursed through the Muslim world over alleged insults to the Prophet Muhammad.

Hardline Jomhoori Eslami daily and other newspapers reported on Sunday that the move appeared to be linked to protests over an amateurish anti-Islam film, which crowds in some 20 countries said drove them to defend their faith — in some cases by attacking American embassies.

The report said the 15 Khordad Foundation will pay the higher reward to whoever acts on the 1989 fatwa, or religious edict, issued by Iran’s late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, which called for the death of the author “The Satanic Verses” because the novel was considered blasphemous.

The paper said the decision to boost the original reward, offered in the 1990s, came from foundation head Ayatollah Hassan Saneii.

“As long as the exalted Imam Khomeini’s historical fatwa against apostate Rushdie is not carried out, it won’t be the last insult. If the fatwa had been carried out, later insults in the form of caricature, articles and films that have continued would have not happened,” the paper quoted Saneii as saying.
Iran’s hardliners say Khomeini’s fatwa is “irrevocable.”

In 1998, the Iranian government declared it would not support the fatwa, but at the same time the government said it could not rescind the edict, since under Islamic law, that could be done only by the person who issued it. Khomeini died in June 1989.

Khomeini’s fatwa sent Rushdie into hiding under police protection, but that didn’t stop him from writing more novels. In 1990, he published an apology and reiterated his respect for Islam.

Also on Sunday, thousands of clerics gathered in seminaries across Iran to protest the anti-Islamic movie, state TV reported.

Ahmad Khatami, an ally of the country’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told a gathering in In the holy city of Qom, 130 kilometers south of the capital Tehran, that the United States and Israel were the “main suspects” in the case.

His remarks prompted “death to Israel and “down with the U.S.” chants by demonstrators.

Maybe bounties should be reserved for the likes of George Bush, Tony Blair and the neocons who call for war against Muslim countries.

Why do Muslims defend murder?

Why do we have to fear being murdered by muslims as soon as we say something they might dislike? I wish to believe most muslims are not latent terrorists.

Mr. Rushdie, author of "The Satanic Verses", survived a 10-year fatwa against him. He expresses his views about moderating Islamic culture as a recipient of Profiles in Courage award, presented by American Jewish Congress in Los Angeles. Produced by Democracy Broadcasting.Org www.DemoCast.TV

[John Al-Ameli]

I dont think he survived a 10 year fatwa. No one tried to kill him, except martyr Mostafa Mazeh

[Ugly Jinn]

Irony: The person who issued the fatwa for the killing has been dead for a decade yet Rushdie remains alive.

Don't be jealous because your fake leaders do not have enough dignity to even speak against these crimes against the Prophet .

Errr, I have no leaders, I don't obsess over fallible "religious" leaders.

And believe me, there's nothing to be jealous of an epic fail fatwa, it basically proved the masses don't care of such ruling.

PS. The Prophet did not kill people who insulted him.

So now we should stop protest and rally againist this movie also prophet never attacked any embassy or did he ? Infact we should appreciate them and ask for the movie sequel shouldn't we?

[Ali_Hussain]

I watched a little of this documentary on his book, I didn't realise he had taken it that far.

The salman rushdie affair was/is a serious affair. Rushdie knew exactly what he was doing - and for him to say other wise is a complete lie. He lived in India - came from a Muslim family - in fact in the lecture of his that I posted above from the award given to him by the zionists - he even speaks about how his grandfather was a devout muslim who never missed any of his prayers etc. He knew exactly what the reaction would be to his disgusting book - yet he still wrote it any way and when he did he was insisting that it it be printed in India. The man is 100% a trouble maker, only looking to cause sedition and mischief on the earth. He insulted all the aspects of our religion - in a completely blasphemous and insidious manner.

For those who think that this Fatwa reflects badly on Muslims in general and Shias in particular (to the rest of the world):


Syed Khumayni - did his wajib shari duty by issuing the sentence of an apostate on him -as this is Islam. There are no two ways about it, an apostate is to be killed - especially one as insidious as Salman Rushdie.

Hundreds of thousands of believers - mumineen - one of whom was/is worth more than all the kuffar of the world combined - were already sacrificed to establish the law of Islam in Iran. The entire world already went to war with Iran using Saddam (may Allah curse him forever) - as a proxy. Chemical weapons were used - every sort of dirty tactic you can imagine that can be used in war fare was used. Iran was slandered in every news paper, every propaganda outlet, all forms of deceit and sabotage were used against it. Every imaginable use of "soft war" tactic had been used against Iran.

After putting up with all of that - do you think that Syed Khumayni should of just backed down from issuing the proper hukm against this worthless apostate Salman Rushdie - because it wouldn't look good to the rest of the world?

Short of Nuclear strikes - or massive incineration bombing campaigns - what is left for the world to do? At this point (or even back at that point - in 1988) who cares what these kaffir governments/people had to say?

Its still a serious issue today because institutions continue to give this man a platform - give him awards and so on. Look at the list of awards this no talent hack has received - in reality its just a way for all of these institutions to slap the face of Islam/Muslims and specifically Iran.

Put his cursed name on any thing - and it will win an award of some kind. I don't even think this is an exhaustive list actually. This is of course not even to mention the fact that he was knighted by the Queen of England.

If you represent true Islam I definitely agree with people saying that Islam is a cancer to our .society. So I hope most Muslims consider you an heretic.

Well, that might help him shift some more copies of his biography =\

I find the fact theyre wanting some random to take a pot shot at this man for money distastful in the least. Infact someone motivated by money could utilise all kinds of vile methods to do away with a human life and this would supposedly be justified by the people issuing the fatwa? do they really care about justice or honoouring God? or do they just want a man they dont like dead by any method and are prepared to use other ppls greed as a way to motivate them to get the result they want. I wonder.

You are jewish are you not? It is unfortunate that you have fallen so far from your own beliefs - it seems you (and most of the world) have unpurified your self to the extent that your soul is so polluted that you can not even see how heinous of a crime it is to blaspheme God and his holy and purified Messengers (peace be upon all of them).

The laws of your own religion state the same punishment for blasphemy - so if you do not believe in them - why do you continue to follow your religion or call your self jewish?

The money is an added incentive. Allah calls people to good action with the promise of pleasure and rewards in the next life.

My race or religion does not matter ( but as it obviously is so important to you I can inform you that I am not a Jew and definitely not a *** Muslim). I am a free human who will never accept that anyone but myself decides what I can say or what I can´t. And I consider anyone who is an enemy of democracy and freedom of speech a cancer to society.

Why is a muslim stupid? They're the pharmacists, doctors, engineers, and workforce of many societies. You are a clown who really is the only one who deserves to get kicked in the face and to have his head chopped off. Weren't you that raving drunken idiot who cried like a toddler about not being able to drink alcohol publically in Egypt? By God I dont know what gave birth to an accident like you.

[Replicant]

Question about Ayatollah Khomeini's fatwa that I've always had - the punishment for this, is it not only meant to be implemented if it took place in an Islamic state?

[Belial]

This it a problem. We read time and time again about muslims being destructive, then everyone says "they arent muslim, theyre a minority working for the zionists. We are peaceful, then you get muslims increasing the bounty on a guy who wrote some random book. Islam will always struggle if one side chants peace and the other chants war.

Irony: The person who issued the fatwa for the killing has been dead for a decade yet Rushdie remains alive.

Irony? Do you even know anything about irony? The person who issued the fatwa was killed by Rushdie's men in a Bond style?
I read your statement 5 times, YOU AND YOUR IRONY DO NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL.

The monafiqeen who fought prophet of God or the Imams, they too continued to live a life of crime and humiliation even after prophet of God or the Imams left this world.... OHH guess what genius, another irony?

Don't be jealous because your fake leaders do not have enough dignity to even speak against these crimes against the Prophet .

I don't think any Budha or templeman would ever speak against those crimes against the prophet of Islam..... !

Question : Whats the bounty for the Pakistani man that, according to Pakistani courts and witnesses, burnt pages of your holy Quran to frame a child for blasphemy?

Also, where are the riots for his crime?

As stange as it may seem, I bet he's breathing a huge sigh of relief because of this "Innocence of Muslims" film.

Fool, the man is in prison. He is not being awarded every few months in a clear sign of declaration of war on Islam and expressing hatreds and encouraging individuals to do so. He never confessed for what he did and was something hidden for his own fitna. The Paki guy is be questioned by the police while Rushdie was received by the Queen of Satanicland for something that God knows what.

Do you see it now? I don't think so.

Regardless of his western literary accolades, blasphemy in both cases, yes? Only a fatwa for the killing of one, correct?

NOOOO!

One is totally a local case, which the guy wanted to frame the girl in order to expel Christians from his village or whatever, if he is found guilty he might and should receive death sentence for both crimes...for framing and for burning the holy Quran.

The one that was done by Rushdie was planned possibly by the intelligence agencies of big powers behind it; it has been advertised, it is being used as a tool to express the 'extreme' hatreds against Islam, to incite ppl against Muslims, to create strife between Muslims and Christians/Jews and many-many other things. To KEPP THE WORLD DIVIDED in order to proceed to their hidden and illegal project in the world. The guy lived a life with millions of dollars coming to him and received the great protection sponsored by states and private agencies.

A man kills his classmate over a dispute is murder in a court of law, but lets say if the President of Israel orders the assassination of Ahmadinejad or a known Iranian scientist is also a murder in a court of law... BUT, there is a huge difference between the two murders, one that could be resolved in a local court, the other that could cause a war between many countries of the region..

Did the American society and government treat the Oklahoma bombing and the 911 event the same way? NOO! 911 event was used as a great tool of propaganda and wars were declared, and nations and hundreds of millions of people were labeled and viewed as terrorists. And I don’t have to explain the ABC of the history, I guess you are old enough to know the all these things.

Do you see it now? I don’t think so.
