Find a maniac! Quick!

Salman Rushdie has given his support to Jack Straw by saying that "veils suck". One reaction.

Omar Bakri Muhammad, a cleric living in Beirut after being forced to leave Britain because of his radical views, said Rushdie was an apostate whose life was still in danger. He said: "He will continue living his life in hiding. Any fatwa will stand until it is fulfilled. He is always going to be worried about a Muslim reaching him."

The expected response, but why do you think that The Guardian took the trouble to contact him? Because he can be relied upon to supply some good copy. These mad mullahs are truly irreplaceable.
