I don't really understand why the Islamic folks are so up in arms (other than the the Satanic Verses portrayal of Muhammad). Seems sort of silly to hold Mr. Rushdie and England to the standards of their religion. And to call for his murder over it?

That's the rub. They hold the entire world up to their religious standards. I am afraid that we will never get along... unless we all convert to Islam.
As for Mr. Rushdie. the Ayatollah Khomeini issued a Fatwa against him for the Satanic Verses writings. Making him a knight is just pissing in their faces.
