34 years they've been after him all because of a fictional book that offends another fictional book. Islamists have finally gotten him. Hope he survives.

An Associated Press reporter witnessed a man confront Rushdie on stage at the Chautauqua Institution and begin punching or stabbing him 10 to 15 times as he was being introduced. The 75-year-old author was pushed or fell to the floor, and the man was arrested.

Hes the author of The Satanic Verses, which earned him a permanent fatwa from the Iranian government IIRC.

BBC updates said that while he had a pool of blood under him on stage he at least still had a pulse at the time that the emergency helicopter arrived. It'll probably be at least a few hours until the hospital has stabilized his condition enough to make a statement.

Heres hoping he pulls through, as nobody should have to live in fear of being murdered over a damn historical fiction novel, just sayin.

yeah as an arab muslim (at least, according to my birth certificate) I was surprised to find out this whole controversy deal with hilarious satanic verses and fatwas and such but then again it seemed more like an Iran thing since they issued the fatwa than an arabia thing.

I really hope he makes it

Rushdie's fantasy works like Haroun and its sequel are his best works. He's a much much better writer when he puts his imagination into overdrive and doesn't hold back. I know magical realism that spans between India and the west is his bread and butter but I don't think those works show his full creative potential.

Really hoping he pulls through. He still has much to offer the world and it would suck ass if his next novel coming out next year turned out to be his last.

Salman Rushdie is in surgery, Reuters news agency quotes his agent as saying.

That's all we have at the moment, we'll bring any more information on his condition as we get it.

stabbings can be complicated and range from surface level to deadly. it sounds like the attacker got him in a flurry, which is not uncommon for these types of attacks.

the news responsibly reported the information as they had it in this case.

When word first got out it was unclear what happened and the news was reporting that he was "punched or possibly stabbed" on stage. It took a bit of time to confirm that he was stabbed, and a bit more to find out he was stabbed a bunch of times.

thanks.

but I wasn't criticizing the news, or anything like that; it's just that you sometimes hear stories of celebrities being attacked, and it being something a lot more minor than this, so that was what I was kinda expecting.

edit: thanks at post 44, too.

Yeah there have been some high profile assassination attempts that have either worked or gotten very close lately.

I can't recall an assassination as unlikely as Shinzo Abe being killed with a homemade shotgun.
