QUICK-100: Poison-Honey

Poison and Honey don’t have any combination but there could be a choice if someone asks you to have it under coercion or to mix it with your drink.

Yes, when I wrote an ‘open poem’ in Punjabi – On giving the ‘fatwa’ of why should I do another sin by mixing Honey with Poison?  As to what fault is of Honey?  There is no need to execute the writer, he will die his own death, if his ‘pen’ is snatched or he is barred from writing.

On 14 February 1989 Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa ordering Muslims to execute author Salman Rushdie over the publication of The Satanic Verses.
