“I’m not saying the BIPOC victim of colonialism atheist ex-Muslim deserved to be stabbed, but if he had just kept his dirty apostate mouth shut…” - the progressive take.

Have you noticed that the BBC cannot bring itself to refer to Rushdie as Sir Salman or call him British, despite him being British since birth. They keep calling him Mr Rushdie and “Indian-born”. Despite Rushdie expressing great pride in receiving his knighthood.
