Hello?? Salman Rushdie?? NOT a good idea, my friend :( they have NO sense of humor
No.. the fundie groups will just decide it's another excuse to start another jihad, convince some seriously brainwashed half wits into killing a few western infidels and themselves so they can get their 72 virgins.
They don't even have a sense of humour about cartoons of the profit Mohammed - that shit will get you death threats + added they're not fucking kidding.. and that's if you're in the west.
Seriously though, ask the virgin question. Seriously, has any of them realised that eternity is a fucking long time, and virgins are only virgins once? 72 sounds like a pretty raw deal when you think about it that way. Like 72 virgins a month every month sounds fair though. My new religion will have to offer this as an option.
In the team time, back to reading Volume 14 of the Technical Bulletins of Dianetics and Scientolgy - The OT Levels. Scientology doesn't allow its followers to see information on the level above them until they're ready to transition to that level. After reading each level, it's easy to see why - it seems to rely in an ever increasing state of brainwashing in order to believe it. If someone tried to teach you what it teaches at Tom Cruises' level, you'd laugh your arse off so hard. :D
