The attack on Salman Rushdie is dreadful. He is on a ventilator, unable to speak, and apparently may lose an eye
His agent told Reuters and the New York Times... “Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged.”
Oh tit that’s horrific.The attack on Salman Rushdie is dreadful. He is on a ventilator, unable to speak, and apparently may lose an eye

The poor man, I didn’t realise how horrific the attack was.The attack on Salman Rushdie is dreadful. He is on a ventilator, unable to speak, and apparently may lose an eye
His agent told Reuters and the New York Times... “Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged.”
The problem with this attack is that it will spur on Muslim fanatics and embolden them even more.
The Times are reporting he was stabbed up to 15 times .The attack on Salman Rushdie is dreadful. He is on a ventilator, unable to speak, and apparently may lose an eye
His agent told Reuters and the New York Times... “Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged.”
Dear god …. This is awful.
I love Ian Rankins books so I’m super happy to hear he’s nice!
It will also rekindle Islamaphobic attitudes to normal regular people who happen to be Muslim as well, as ignorant people assume normal Muslims agree with this horrific behaviour.
I loathe him
This makes me so angry. These are the kinds of people people like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson et Al, Ask Sarkar and the rest of them are defending. Yet they will defend death and rape threats on the grounds of people's perceived ' hurt feelings' but have the cheek to be outraged when Rushdie is almost stabbed to death for writing a book. They are basically defending the kind of people who are issuing the same kinds of threats to Rowling.
What's happened with that teacher in Yorkshire who had to go into hiding because he was discussing a cartoon with his class?
I think that's a bit of a reach. That's the same as tarring all Muslims because of a tiny minority of whack-job extremists.
I don't think so. There may be a tiny minority of trans activists issuing death threats and doxxing Rowling, but they are never condemned, and their actions are defended by people saying ' Rowling is literally causing trans people to die!!!!!' The person who stabbed Rushdie stabbed him to suppress freedom of speech and expression. People who are trying to silence Rowling are trying to suppress her freedom of speech and expression. Who is to say some whackjob will not try to attack her because their abuse is apparently condoned, or at least not condemned?
QI is so much more watchable now that Sandi T is at the helm.
That’s absolutely disgusting. I hope the police are involved as that’s a clear and public death threat.
Do you follow the QI elves as No Such Thing As A Fish? They did a 20 hour podcast with a different celeb every thirty minutes or so. Each celeb provided a fact, which they then discussed. The one with Sandi is glorious.
That's just nonsense, of course people condem that sort of behaviour. I support trans rights, and I condem it, so...
There is a difference between free speech and hate speech. One person's desire to air their prejudices against a minority group does not trump the basic human rights of that group to exist without persecution.
It would be a different story if it happened to them.
I haven't read or bought a book in ages, but in the light of recent events, I will be purchasing a copy of The Satanic verses.
If I remember correctly some book shops refused to sell it or you had to ask a member of staff because they wouldn’t display it , it was over thirty years ago so I can’t remember much .
