I’m actually a little surprised they still want him dead nearly 35 years after “The Satanic Verses”.

The AP wasn’t sure if Rushdie was stabbed but a Buffalo TV station quotes the local sheriff’s office as saying there was a stabbing incident.

Under NY state law, the man who stabbed him will be released on no bail. Either the local US attorney arrests him on a civil rights violation or terrorist charge or he will be in Tehran within two days.

Let me guess, it will be reported it was Trump that stormed the stage and did this.

One report said he was able to get up and walk off the stage.

It’s the national religion after all!

It certainly thinks it is, but leftard atheism makes the same claim and only tolerates radical Islam insofar as they are useful idiots for their cause.
