  1. I wish Salman quick recovery. This man is very courageous and intelligent.

  2. WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT IRAN SAYS ABOUT THIS…… DON'T REPORT THEIR OPINIONS AGAIN PLEASE. Get well soon Mr Rushdie

  3. Even if he survives this time, the deep & black curse on his face will never ever go away.

  4. How is it that Sir Salmon Rushdie is quoted as saying "Just what is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist", and yet people get prosecuted for calling a tranny or some sort of "alphabet freak" a "he" or "she"? You see, the double standards? So yeah, how can you expect people to obey the law, when the powers that be don't give a rat's poop about the law, huh? To Hell with fish faced Salmon Rushdie and his stinking BS book !!!!

  5. Wish him speedy recovery

  6. Freedom of speech does not give you the right to disrespect- think people

  7. Why blame only Iran. No government Islamic countries condemn attack on Rushdie. 🛑They will not be able yo do that. 🛑Attack on Rushdie is ordered by the book hatred written 1400 years. 🛑 Please watch exmuslim channels to know truth about Islam, and let others know.🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑

  8. Speaking and writing the truth is “illegal” or condemned in the Middle East.

  9. He is a child abuser!
    Someone will do the job RIGHT next time.

  10. Its kind of funny because the attacker was 24 and Rushdie is 30. I doubt the attacker has actually read his book and was brainwashed to attack him. Nevertheless this attack only helped his book be more successful and known.

  11. Europe: Christian vs. Muslim
    China : Atheist vs. Muslim
    India : Hindu vs. Muslim
    Israel : Jew vs. Muslim
    Middle East: Muslim(Sunni) vs. Muslim(Shia)
    Wow…"peaceful" community is spreading peace everywhere👍👍

  12. In an age of unprecedented use of science, technology and entrepreneurship to fuel societal progress, religion, especially in its fundamentalist inclinations, tends to violently enforce bigotry, hatred, intolerance, lack of pluralism and of modern, liberal rights.
    Religion is increasingly a retarder of socioeconomic progress in parts of the world where even the schooled fanatically insist on allowing no place for modern notions, which latter alone allow for a better life. Religion breeds dishonesty and hypocrisy, and is the biggest single threat to the forward march of society.
    Political extremism is religion’s bedfellow. Political and religious bigotry, and sheer revivals of eighteenth century European imperialist greed, are the driving factors behind the current fratricidal destruction of tens of thousands of lives in the Ukrainian conflict, imposed by the Kremlin on a largely peaceful, sovereign neighbour.
    Down with religiosity in ALL its aggressive manifestations!

  13. humor makes a cripple's life sweeter 🙂

  14. I like how christianity, judaism and islam all agree on blasphemy but the media tries to just focus on islam:

    Leviticus 24:16 the punishment for blasphemy is death.
    Mark 3:28–29, “Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”

  15. To Hadi (the alleged assassin):do you have any brothers that’ll be in DC…in 2024 …near 1600 Penn…oh …never mind 😳

  16. Purchased a copy of the "Satanic Verses", and will be reading it from the first page to the last. I will enjoy every bit of it knowing the attacker is rotting in jail and his supporters can't do anything about it. Civilized societies do not control thought.

  17. A very strong man who perhaps saw one of his worse fears come true(the attempted assassination) may he grow stronger

  18. It's sad I can't imagine being shot a dozen times! How horrible, this is terrible!

  19. I heard it was a trump supporter with a rebel flag hanging off his knife.

  20. Lol. God fails again. Thank science for helping him recover.

  21. I can't wait to see the last Charlie Hebdo

  22. If God is all powerful, then I'm sure he can take issue with this man himself if he so wishes. A religion (or a sect of a religion) that condones violence and murder is no religion and isn't worthy of belief. There are many good Islamic scholars who recognize this, but also quite a few illiterate wicked ones who do not.

  23. I’m so disappointed in the Islamics people who find this acceptable. I do realize there are Islamic people who also have sympathy over the attack. Bad people must go.

  24. Thanks for the quick thinking people who rushed to help him. It's so shameful that Mr. Rushdie was attacked like this.

  25. And yet ABC wants to bring in millions more Muslims

  26. I’m glad he’ll survive. He’s an amazing, smart, funny man who has always championed free speech.

  27. “Alá no ama a los traidores” (Corán 8 : 58); por tanto este Ataque, no tendrá recompensa porque fué hecho a traición.

  28. Cuando entenderán los Musulmanes que “Alá no ama a los traidores” (Corán 8 : 58); por tanto este Ataque, no tendrá recompensa porque fue hecho a traición.

  29. Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine warmthhh.Online Brünette und eine andereq Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde
