(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. Hundreds of people in the audience gasped at the sight of the attack and were then evacuated. Rushdies book The Satanic Verses has been banned in Iran since 1988, as many Muslims consider it to be blasphemous. A year later, Irans late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdies death. A bounty of over $3 million has also been offered for anyone who kills Rushdie. Irans government has long since distanced itself from Khomeinis decree, but anti-Rushdie sentiment has lingered. In 2012, a semi-official Iranian religious foundation raised the bounty for Rushdie from $2.8 million to $3.3 million. Rushdie dismissed that threat at the time, saying there was no evidence of people being interested in the reward. That year, Rushdie published a memoir, Joseph Anton, about the fatwa. The title came from the pseudonym Rushdie had used while in hiding. Rushdie rose to prominence with his Booker Prize-winning 1981 novel Midnights Children, but his name became known around the world after The Satanic Verses. The Chautauqua Institution, about 55 miles southwest of Buffalo in a rural corner of New York, is known for its summertime lecture series. Rushdie has spoken there before. --- Why didn't you DODGE‽‽‽ Quoting me will trigger the profanity filter, Not Joking. I've been Scunthorped!

Straughan 08/12/22 12:13:35 PM #2:	Yeah, I've heard the name before. I looked it up and apparently extremists are usually mad at him for religious reason, right? So I'm guessing some Muslim attacked him because he's offensive to some of them? Personally, if I was an extremist I wouldn't attack a dude, I'd want to save them or help them. Why kill them or hurt them? I've never been able to relate to people with strongly held beliefs. I've been a skeptic forever. I always was interested to learn though. I was always the scapegoat as a kid in my neighborhood because I was the only family that didn't go to church. Haha, I was the neighborhood bastard. (and yet I was a sweet boy 99% of the time, I was a bit of a prankster and pyromaniac, but nothing serious) --- "Torture experiments. We're all monkeys." "They hurt you?"

Then you made this claim: Muscles posted... Killing artists is worse than whatever stupid whining Christians do, they just want to bitch and put warning labels on art in modern times (still stupid censorship but not as bad as literally killing them or threatening to) Like, this stabbing very well could be Islamic violence. But it's objectively hilarious that a former Christian would take the opportunity to minimize Christian violence this hard.

Your general Joe shmoe Christian isn't a bad guy in my experience. It's when you start getting into televangelists and big corrupt churches that problems arise. Uh no, the topic is about Salman Rushdie getting stabbed. You decided to claim that Muslims do less violence than Christians as a little add-on. You did discount Christian violence by suggesting that they're mainly concerned with minor things like warning labels. Now, that's kinda discounting Christian violence by omission, so I get it if you're not that aware of it. Maybe you're not aware you do/did this. You should absolutely acknowledge that Christian extremists are just as violent, just as reactive, and just as plentiful (if not way more in the USA) as Islamic extremists. Yeah, I know that a "joe shmoe Christian" isn't a bad guy, generally. Although, the way Christians vote in America, I could see why people start to see them as 'bad guys'. My mom would probably be dead under the weird Christian influenced abortion laws in many of the US states. --- girls like my fa <cite>ReturnOfFa posted [p:967268703] in Salman Rus...
