Salman Rushdie's Adds His Two Cents to Debate on Britsh Muslims
Salman Rushdie, a British-Indian author who had an Iranian bounty on his head for many years after he published The Satanic Verses, has an article in the August 11, 2005 edition of Times Online in which he says: When Sir Iqbal Sacranie, head of the Muslim Council of Britain, admitted that our own children had perpetrated the July 7 London bombings, it was the first time in my memory that a British Muslim had accepted his community's responsibility for outrages committed by its members.
