    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.

    Suspect identified as a 24 year old called Hadi Matar. 24! Born in the late 1990s, a good 10 years after the Fatwa. What kind of hate filled crap was he pumped full of?

    Re: Salman Rushdie attacked on stage in New York.

    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.”

    People all over the world do crazy things in support of their beliefs

    America is a developed supposedly civilised country yet some people attack doctors and nurses at abortion clinics

    God tells them apparently

    And misguided faith turned this person into a maniac

    I hope the poor sod recovers as much as he is able to
