What is the big deal here, why are the Muslim world up in arms over the nighthood of solomon rushdie? I mean the gay elton john is a knight these days, so knighting this idiot is nothing really, it does not add any more value or legitimacy to him.

I agree , what 's the big deal? She can knight whomever she wants, and so can the King of Jordan , Saudi Arabia......if that person converts to Islam

Pakistan says Rushdie knighthood may spark terrorism:

You Isaaqs love this Queen so much and she never gives even OBE to your lot. Why?

I have no problem as an Isaaq stating the obvious Cilmiile, that's the difference between you and me .
It's HER kingdom and she knights WHOMEVER she chooses,period!!
Am I asking her to recognize Somaliland , NO!!
Anigu sidaada waxbaad ku heli dadka ugu ma nacamleeyo , qabyaaladu na dhuuxa igama sumayn oo kaan wax isku nahay haddu qaldan yahay runtaan u sheega .

That woman is heartless. You guys call yourself English Orphan and she never even throws you a scrap CBE or OBE

, ooooh my bad , yeah you right she 's heartless!!!
CBE waxay tahay baan garan waayay , at first

Horta it's funny you brought that up , coz the Brits did use Somali troops in Burma and elsewhere . I couldn't find anything substantial on thieir history and it seems that beyond the white officers they would NOT reward thie local troops. To this day I have only found 1 kenyan native with the Victoria Cross.
The French the other hand used the Bataillon Somali in some of the fiercest battles in WW1 and WW2 , and that unit before being dismantled was one of the MOST decorated unit in all of France's military.

Raage Omaar got OBE for his role during Irak war
