CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. (AP) — Salman Rushdie, the author whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was attacked Friday as he was about to give a lecture in western New York.

An Associated Press reporter witnessed a man storm the stage at the Chautauqua Institution and begin punching or stabbing Rushdie as he was being introduced. The 75-year-old author was pushed or fell to the floor, and the man was restrained.

Someone wanted to collect those millions after all those years. Crazy.

Reading his biography, which focused a lot on the years he spent in hiding, made me kinda dislike the guy as he came across like a blowhard; nevertheless, the absurd reaction from Islamic extremists against him for his writings is awful.

Never read anything, and hardly know the guy. I know him from that incident in the 80s and that fatwa, but that’s basically it. Didn’t know he was still popular amongst extremists.

You might be thinking of Naguib Mahfouz. He was awarded the Noble Prize in literature in 87 or 88 or something and he was attacked by an Islamic extremist over it. IIRC was slightly paralyzed in an arm or something.

Rushdie received threats and had to go into hiding but this is as far as I remember the first time he's actually been attacked.

He constantly has beautiful women on his arm. Usually some giantess who is like 3-4 inches taller than him. He's ugly as shit and in his mid 70's but it doesn't slow him down haha.

The Satanic Verses is a badass name for a book.

That guy is/was such a pompous tryhard manlet prick and his autobiography is cringe

He really milked his islamophobic rants for the longest time, profiting off of blasphemy

Sort of a proto-cancel culture grifter

If he survives, watch him ramp up his persecution complex grift to 11

His insufferable writing would receive zero attention if he didn't constantly remind everybody how bad we must feel for him for having provoked a billion people into disliking him

khomeini must hang over this!!

So Rushdie writes about the evils of Islam and a Muslim responds by trying to murder him? Not really making a strong case for the religion.

Lmao, what happened to waiting for the evidence to come in? The WarRoom is always sooooo concerned about evidence when people assume it’s a white guy lol.

hello mate, have you read the satanic verses? meaning the book by rushdie, of course

No, you gtfo. The standard should be the same for any group, not “wait for the evidence” when the perp is suspected to be white, but “cmon you know who did it” when it’s suspected Muslims.
