Author Salman Rushdie was stabbed during a speech in western New York on Friday morning and rushed to a hospital for treatment. Governor Kathy Hochul said at an afternoon event that he is alive and credited a state trooper with saving him.
Rushdie was about to give a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua when a man rushed the stage and attacked him, the Associated Press reports. The assailant, who has not been identified, was subdued and detained by police. Rushdie was airlifted to a nearby hospital, according to a statement by state police that said the author had been stabbed in the neck.

Rushdie dared to write something that could be interpreted as being disrespectful to Mohammed. So of course the Muslim world wants him dead.
I’ll bet a dollar that his attacker is either a born Muslim, or a Muslim convert.
Oh, and someone should notify George W. Bush about this attack. Then W can tell us “Islam is peace” again.

“Governor Kathy Hochul said at an afternoon event that he is alive and credited a state trooper with saving him.”
She must blame “white nationalists” and “white racists” since they are the number one threat to the state.

I wonder if fatwah—collectors are like debt collectors—aged fatwahs are worth a lot less than new ones.

What’s the going rate for fatwah these days?
The assailant probably speaks both Arabic and Farsi.
