One of our favorite older jokes concerns the sequel to Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, a project entitled Buddha, You Fat Fuck. Via Galleycat, we note this:
Salman Rushdie has enraged fellow Muslims by saying veils "suck" and condemning them as a means of subjugating women. The author backed Jack Straw, the Commons Leader, who described veils as a "visible statement of separation" that impeded community relations and disclosed that he asks constitiuents to take them off in meetings. Mr Rushdie said: "He was expressing an important opinion, which is that veils suck - which they do. Speaking as somebody with three sisters and a very largely female Muslim family, there is not a single woman I know in my family, or in their friends, who would have accepted the wearing of a veil."
Nice language, Salman. You profane Muhammad with that mouth?
