Reply #30: He renounced the Rushdie fatwa?

[McKay]

If that's true, more power to him - that would take some courage. I would like to see that documentation, though, if you can find it.

If he didn't renounce it, then shame on him for supporting such a horrible law; a genuine "man of peace" would know better. But that still would be no reason to keep him out of the country (yes, I know there are other allegations against the guy, but since when is it a deportable offense to contribute money to suspicious causes? If that were the case, we'd have a government in exile).
