Dr.Pipes correctReader comment on item: Salman Rushdie and British Backbone Submitted by Vijay (United Kingdom), Jun 28, 2007 at 08:47 I also don't think the British govt knighted Salman Rushdie for "showing spine". The awards committe gave weight to PEN campaign to have him knighted. PEN supporters of Rushdie seem to be aghast at the reaction to Sir Salman.
