What right Pakistan has to protest to UK for conferring knighthood on Salman Rushdie. First of all he was not a Pakistani, but he was Indian. UK has every right confer Knighthood on whosoever they feel right. If Salman Rushdie has written/exposed the negative side of Islam, he has right to give his opinion. If Pakistan is against UK, they first better call back all Pakistanis from UK and then protest. Pakistanis want to enjoy everything possible on foreign soils & criticise them when it doesn't suit Pakistan. Salman Rushdie was bold enough to expose the short comings in Islam. If Pakistan is so infuriated, why do they allow Indian muslims females, like Zeenat Aman, Zia Khan, Nagma, Saira Banu expose half naked bodies in films which is totally against Islam? Why not Pakistan ban employment for ladies, females driving vehicles (as practiced inSaudi) and ban females going on to streets without male escort (of course on account of criminals in the name of Islam, in Saudi) and all such unislamic acts. Since it does not suit Pakistan's interest, they dont bna such unislamic things.
