Salman Rushdie

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.

Rushdie was quickly surrounded by a small group of people who held up his legs, presumably to send more blood to his chest.

His condition was not immediately known.

Pretty sure the fatwa hasn't been rescinded.

Salman Rushdie on Ventilator Hours After Being Stabbed in Western New York

“The news is not good,” the author’s agent, Andrew Wylie, said in an emailed update. He said Mr. Rushdie might lose an eye and his liver had been damaged. The celebrated author, who has long faced death threats, was stabbed in the neck and abdomen by a 24-year old New Jersey man. A motive was unclear.

This is an update form this morning:

Rushdie, 75, suffered a damaged liver, severed nerves in an arm and an eye, and was on a ventilator and unable to speak, his agent Andrew Wylie said Friday evening. Rushdie was likely to lose the injured eye.

Fuck the prophet Mohammed.

^Fuck all the zealots of all religions who carry out violence in the name of their favorite, benevolent invisible man in the sky.

I hope Rushdie survives and doubles down with his next book:  Why Mohammed Wants A Sex Change.

Imagine threatening Monty Python with death over Life of Brian.

I hear you, Joe.  

Still going to boycott the World Cup though.

Clarification: Post #7 is an act of guerrilla theater in which I mimic Rushdie's action.

Nothing against an individual unless you stone your daughter to death for having sex.
