    Author Salman Rushdie attacked on lecture stage in New York
    Salman Rushdie's agent says the writer is on a ventilator after being stabbed in the neck and abdomen on a western New York stage where he was about to give a lecture.


    What's shocking to me is a thread hasn't been created yet by some jack ass blaming a white Christian group or a Trump following group.

    That's the same guy from all those years ago.

    If I remember it correctly, I think it was hard-core Islamists who wanted him decapitated either because he badmouthed Islam, or wasn't fervent enough in his support.

    This guy's had to look over his shoulder for like 40 years.

        Seinfeld episode "The Implant".

        Kramer claims a man at the health club who introduces himself as "Sal Bass" is actually author Salman Rushdie.

        In Salman Rushdie's non-fiction book Joseph Anton: A Memoir, Rushdie recounts bumping into Jerry Seinfeld at a cocktail party where Seinfeld nervously asked his opinion of "The Implant" and "visibly relaxed" upon Rushdie's telling him "that he had thought the episode very funny."[

              FBI just said they are looking for a 24 year old NJ man, who according to social media accounts is a Shite sympathizer.

              Those social media accounts will hang you every time, I've been saying that forever.
              If you use Twitter or Facebook for reasons other than "Hi sis, how's the baby" or something along those lines, you're just begging for trouble.

                  Rushdie is apparently recovering and no longer needs a ventilator.

                  This BBC documentary from 2009 gives the whole history of the fatwa against him.
