Salman Rushdie stabbed

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-62528689

This bloke has had a bounty on his head since his book was released back in the late 80s.

Never got round to reading his book. Wanted to read it out of curiosity to see what the fuss was all about.

Remember a test match between England and Pakistan at Headingley around the early 90s . Fighting broke out. England fans chanted "Theres only one Salman Rushdie " which caused offence.

Looks as though he will be blinded in one eye by the attack.


I thought people were entitled to an opinion. Seems not. Even after 34 years

These people are absolute mentalists. People died in India over the rioting because of the content of his book. The guy that translated it into Japanese, perfectly innocent bloke, was murdered at his office. The guy that translated it into Italian had an attempt on his life and the Norwegian publisher was shot. Now Rushdie himself has ended up in ICU, all because a book he wrote was deemed to have some derogatory content about the prophet Muhammad. Something to do with some prostitutes in the story sharing the same name as two of Muhammad’s wives.

These people are stone age facking heathens, savages, sitting on rocks, smearing sheite on their faces and pointing in wonder at the sun.

it's a degree of religious fanaticism that is alien to western secular culture

Didn`t Hitler murder 6 million Jews because he didn`t like the religion. Am I missing something here, he was from the West.

Forever 72 years old Sandy_clown knows nothing about history..... Didn't Hitler killed a lot of Romani people?

Religion is the root of pretty much all evil.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolutely.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No. Strong belief system is the root cause, like religion, communism or extreme facism.

Well as we know, religion is a cancer.

I’ve not read the book, but from what I understand it was about far more than just criticism of Islam, it’s also a critique of Britain in the 80’s under Thatcher.

😂, Only you could find a way to blame in on the Tories. It will be Brexiteers fault next.

Erm, pretty sure I said religion is a cancer. I didn’t mention the Tories or Brexiters, although let’s face it, they’re a cancer too.

So why bring up the Tories in the first place?

I noticed a pensioner riding a mobility scooter was stabbed to death in your beloved London, are you going to blame Khan for that?
