Rushdie: knighthood?

As you know, you do get loads of attention from the media if you are Rushdie. Look at him, knighthood by the Queen herself!!! Isn't it wonderful? I don't know. I do know that back in 1989, Tehran sent a fatwa against him and that was where he came to UK to hide. He is still in UK and well.

I think people do remember his infamous work: Satanic Verses; how people in Tehran burned his books and a price tag on his head for going against Islam. Well, he was really brave.

The question now is whether it is justified for the Queen to give a knighthood to him? I am not going to be bias here. There are people who are saying that there are no connection between his work and his knighthood.
