Salmon Rusdie was stabbed while giving a lecture in New York state. He has been rushed to the hospital. I taught his book Satanic Verses once, mostly for a what the hell is all the outrage.

The religion of peace strikes again. Salman Rushdie is a fellow atheist and for that Moslems all want him dead.

The earliest known Koran, a book supposedly never altered has numerous differences. It did not contain the so called satanic versus, yet, since the 1800's a number of scholars believe there was enough evidence that suggests they did exist. Of course, like most crazy religious fanatics, most reject and deny and hide from things that don't fit their narrative. Islamists will kill to keep this narrative away; at the rate of crazy growth with xtions, they may start killing as their narratives are questioned.

@Beowulfsfriend Islam is the most erratic force on the planet.

In 1989, the Iranian government issued a fatwah ( death threat) against Salmon Rushdie.

Iranian clergy objected to Rushdie's depiction of Muhammad in his book, "Satanic Verses."

Most likely the attacker is an Islamic extremist.

I know. I could even tell you what the Satanic verses in question are about.

I wish Rushdie a speedy recovery.
