An Iranian religious foundation has increased its reward for killing British author Salman Rushdie as part of its response to a film that mocks the Prophet Muhammad.
Rushdie, an Indian-born British novelist, has nothing to do with the U.S.-made film Innocence of Muslims, which has sparked violent protests in Muslim countries...Iranian media quoted Hassan Sane'i, a cleric heading the 15 of Khordad Foundation, as saying if Rushdie had been killed the anti-Muslim film Innocence of Muslims would never have been made.
The Satanic Verses was published 24 years ago.
