First question has to be "why was he on a stage?"
Shirley there are buses, trains, taxis and planes he could have used these days :shrug:
:getscoat:
It seems like he was stabbed multiple times and is currently receiving treatment at the scene.
Update: reports saying he was able to walk off stage after receiving treatment.
Latest reports say he was airlifted to a local hospital after receiving 10-15 stab wounds to his neck.
I don't think he will be doing Hay-on-Wye then :hide:
Whoever stabbed him wouldn't win a coconut and the local fayre.
imagine someone wanting to kill you because of words... you said something and some blokes want you dead. crazy!
It was very likely as a result of the Fatwah; if it wasn't to be lifted there would always be people in time. What an absolutely abhorrent exercise and a very sad outcome.
I'd say that it was the result of one sad lonely, twisted idiot who couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.Quote:

You have the right to free speech as long as your not dumb enough to actually try it.Quote:

Mr. Rushdie’s agent, Andrew Wylie, said Friday evening that Mr. Rushdie was on a ventilator and could not speak.
“The news is not good,” Mr. Wylie said in an email. “Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged.”
free speech extends to the posters of funny quips , knock yourselves out but dont complain when ................
Correct.Quote:
