Was the treasonous memo scandal a well thought out plan to create a rift between the civilian and military leaders? After all the protagonist is a US citizen who is sitting miles apart and probably laughing with his cohorts over the storm they have managed to create in Pakistan. Was it created to divert Pakistan’s focus away from this dastardly act by trying to create a diversion?

The Title of the book is

“ON HER MAJESTY’S SERVICE”.

Rushdie’s lawyer Mark Stephens has written to the publisher ( John Blake Publishing Limited) demanding that the as-yet unpublished memoir be withdrawn. If not, he is thinking to sue Ron Evans.

The following are some of the QUOTABLE QUOTES of Salaman Rushdie on this highly amusing episode. I leave it to your readers to judge his double talk. Remember what had happened in 1988 just before he was deciding to publish the most derogatory book “The Satanic Verses”. He was begged by many, not to publish the book. Nevertheless, he decided to ignore the wise advice of one and all.

1. Rushdie says, quote: “Ron Evan’s account was ‘entirely fictitious’”

Salman Rushdie’s account in Satanic Verses was a complete concoction too. It was full of filth and lies and deliberate insults.

2. Rushdie says, quote: “People have been defamed in Ron Evan’s book”

Salaman Rushdie insulted, discredited and defamed the mightiest personalities of the past. He called the patriarch prophet Abraham, highly respected by Jews, Christians and the Muslims as a bastard( May God Almighty forgive me for repeating) in Satanic Verses.

3. Rushdie says, quote: “I simply wish to protect my reputation from a bunch of lies.”

Salaman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses contained lies, more lies and nothing but lies. An Indian origin English writer whose only asset is his English language thinks that only he has reputation. But he can insult, ridicule, mock and threw to the winds the reputation of 1400 million Muslims and their beloved leaders with impunity. Is not Rushdie a hard core hypocrite?

One last point: A quote from Ron Evan’s book:

Ron Evans claimed that, Salman Rushdie was mean, nasty, tight fisted and extremely arrogant. He also revealed that Rushdie was untidy in appearance that the guards nick named him “scuffy”

The above was the observation of a bodyguard who was rubbing shoulders with Rushdie. The words are music to the ears of very many people because after all, what goes up should eventually come down quite often crashing on the perpetrator’s own head. Our friend had had it now.

Many wonder what had happened to all the illogical non-sense and gibberish, loud and high sounding empty words about freedom of speech, freedom of art and literature, freedom of the press etc that were strongly advocated by history’s greatest hypocrites whose collective concern was Islamophobia in 1988. Are they coming forward with equal strength to get Ron Evan’s book published to ensure their lop-sided and conceited concept freedom of speech?

Any artist who beautifully paints the Yoni of his own wife and brings it to the market place and displays it to make people laugh should be either a lunatic or he should be unimaginably immoral to make money regardless of how he earns it. That is what Salman Rushdie did in writing and publishing ‘Satanic Verses’ and the West glorified him under the false claim of freedom of speech. This is nothing but Islamophobia that we have been witnessing in greater measure and intensity.
