That's the problem with western civilization. We can tell when a woman is "hot" before we marry her.
in sharia laws you can examine the woman body if you are intended to marry her ..good news huh?

the whole body? Including the naughty parts?

Even us Mormons don't get permission to do that (though perhaps some have done so against the rules).

Rushdie is receiving awards because people tried to kill him over something he wrote. We wouldn't even know his name if Khomeini hadn't made him famous.

And probably no one would care about his book, either.

It's just that in the west, we value freedom of speech in all its forms. When someone suffers because he or she wrote a book, then it makes us upset, and it makes the author earn respect.

So Khomeini is responsible for making Rushdie famous and respectable.

I don't think that is true. One of his books that preceded "The Satanic Verses" was well received and won awards.

But certainly, the fact that he is a household name (among the college educated) is the result of the fatwah.

In Mormonism we value the spiritual over the physical as well. But we have also come to the conclusion that it is really impossible for a very good looking woman to also not be spiritual. And vice versa, that it is almost impossible for a homely woman to be spiritual. It's worked out well for us.

You cheapen life by being so willing to kill another person at the drop of a fatwah.

To the empirical mind, there are so many inconsistencies within Islam, it is a wonder if can't function in modern society.

For example, the tribal mountain people who rape the women of another man accused of having illicit sex with one of theirs. There are literally untold examples of barbaric rituals within Sharia to scare the crap out of a modern mind. Al Ghazali would be ashamed of Sharia Law.

i beleive there are huge reports of that he had been receiving rewards befor he made his absolutel honorabl/voluntary decision to live in fear !
