Salman Rushdie Received Knighthood

On Wednesday, Queen Elizabeth II conferred a knighthood on "The Satanic Verses" author, Salman Rushie. This was a year after the announcement of the knighthood had provoked protests from the Muslim world. Some Muslims accused Rushdie of blasphemy in the book and Iranian Leader, Ayatollah Khomeini pronounced a death sentence on him in l989. Rushdie told reporters that he really didn't have any regrets about any of his work, after they asked him about his book. Rushdie was lucky to escape from there with his life at that time.
