     TORONTO - The Muslim Canadian Congress has condemned the new death
     threats being leveled against the British author Salman Rushdie by
     Al-Qaeda and government officials in Pakistan and Iran.

     Sohail Raza, the communications director of the MCC said, "whereas
     we Muslims respect and adore our Prophet and Mr. Rushdie has hurt
     our feelings, we must at the same time defend his right and of all
     writers to express their opinions without fear. There is nothing in
     the Quran that permits anyone, whether they are Ministers,
     Ayatollahs or Al-Qaeda leaders, to take the law into their hands
     and issues fatwas or edicts of death."

   It goes on.
