Abd Razak, Dzulkifli
(2007)
Hate mob clearly can't think.
The New Sunday Times.
Abstract
ONE recent event incited riots yet again. This time it had to do with the knighthood of a controversial author.
That he had created a controversy and the fact that Salman Rushdie was knighted seems to be one and the
same for a small number of Muslims.
The fact that there have been others who are also controversial and have been knighted did not catch the
attention of these groups.
No doubt some of them are less wellknown,
but the principle is the same. Namely, to knight or not to knight is
a sovereign prerogative of the nation concerned. It is not an international recognition and as such need not
overtly concern any outsider.
