Writer Attacked in New York, Stabbed. Like the McGlynn Fatwa Put on this Publication

It is not a good thing to be a well known public figure these days. I hope he makes a full recovery.'

CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. (AP) — Salman Rushdie, the author whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was attacked Friday as he was about to give a lecture in western New York.

An Associated Press reporter witnessed a man storm the stage at the Chautauqua Institution and begin punching or stabbing Rushdie as he was being introduced. The 75-year-old author was pushed or fell to the floor, and the man was restrained.

Rushdie was quickly surrounded by a small group of people who held up his legs, presumably to send more blood to his chest.

His condition was not immediately known.  https://www.wdhn.com/news/author-salman-rushdie-attacked-on-stage-in-new-york/
