When the rector of India’s chief Islamic seminary, the Darul Uloom of Deoband, found that Salman Rushdie was visiting the Jaipur Letters Festival, which began on Friday, he asked the Indian government to abrogate Rushdie’s visa. The maulana ’s anger dates back to Rushdie’s 1988 novelette, The Satanic Verses , which many Muslims have found offensive, even though it is extremely unlikely that most of those who have expressed madden have read it or know what it is really about.

To placate the offended, India became the first state to ban the novel (a ban which still stays), and his visit to Jaipur was not meant to be about that novel. Born in India, Rushdie does not lack a visa to enter India, and the government initially said it could not closing up his visit, although in the days leading up to the festival, some Congress politicians joined the bandwagon against Rushdie’s go, which included Muslim clerics, and opposition parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Celebration (BJP)—some echoing the clerics’ concerns, others arguing that his call would pose law and order problems.

Too much fun enjoying this amazeballs unicorn photo hurtle by the French photography duo Exterface . I honey the pony boy's unimportant melancholy hooves and purple mane, but I concoct my favorite in is the My Quite Pony T-shirt with a horn added to it (after the twitch). Olympic gold medalist Matthew Mitcham could have acquainted with some pointers from the Exterface styling yoke when putting together his unicorn getup for the Lady Gaga show in Sydney (he still looked cunning though). And I am well-spring to marvel if unicorn outfits will be all the sweat at Gay Amour propre parades this summer. Hurdle (or gallop) to see more pics.
