The fatwa on Salman Rushdie

Here's a copy of the fatwa on Salman Rushdie; I reproduce this merely for information, and it in no way represents my views.

The author of The Satanic Verses, a text written, edited, and published against Islam, against the Prophet of Islam, and against the Koran, along with all the editors and publishers aware of its contents, are condemned to capital punishment. I call on all valiant Muslims wherever they may be in the world to execute this sentence without delay, so that no one henceforth will dare insult the sacred beliefs of the Muslims.
