A New Jersey man with sympathies toward the Iranian government was arrested and accused of stabbing famed novelist Salman Rushdie on Friday, according to law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation.

Hadi Matar, 24, was arrested after he stormed the stage at the Chautauqua Institution in Western New York and allegedly stabbed the author in the neck.

Sources told The Post that an initial investigation suggests Hadi is sympathetic to the Iranian regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.

matar is Spanish for “to kill”

Apparently there is a somewhat similar word in Persian, where we get the word “checkmate” - but it’s “shah mat” in Persian.

Obviously his mind had been colonized by white supremacy. Just like that guy who killed a bunch of Muslims earlier.

"When will the world be rid of these evil satanic scum?"

"rep. pramila jayapal (demon-WA) stated....Republicans “continue to talk about a frame that encourages people to go out and get arms. And even today, just attacking Salman Rushdie on stage.."

Speaking of satanic scum..

The Arabic spelling of "matar" (which is rain):

مطر

A radical Iran-supporting Muslim with a knife attempts to murder a famous secular Trump-hating Muslim on a public stage.

MSN.com currently makes this the #7 story on my news reel.

If the Muslim radical had used a gun, this would be the #2 story, because the Trump Mar-a-Lago search would still be #1.

If the Muslim radical had been a White Supremacist with a gun, it would have been the #1 story on MSN.com - for an entire week!

Rushdie makes money in the country he dissed. Some people are not appreciative. Does he have to be? Do I have to feel sorry for him? Sympathy is in the dictionary.

Good luck with that. Islam is immutable, unchangeable and immortal. It is the reality beyond reality and its mission is to place all humans under its control. It doesn’t matter (and I have heard a Muslim speak this) if it takes ten thousand years and requires a billion deaths the Faith (Deen) will triumph.

Islam shows the hollowness of secular liberal humanism and the Kantian notion of a universal moral imperative. Its only imperative is to win, no matter the cost or the length of time. The Chinese and to some extent the Japanese are the only people who have a real mindset formed by a cultural self worship that begins to have the appropriate psychology to resist Islam and the Japanese, with a lot of American help, are busy exterminating themselves with birth control and worship of the bitch goddess of Mammon.

Live Updates: Salman Rushdie on Ventilator Hours After Being Stabbed in Western New York

“The news is not good,” the author’s agent, Andrew Wylie, said in an emailed update. He said Mr. Rushdie might lose an eye and his liver had been damaged. The celebrated author, who has long faced death threats, was stabbed in the neck and abdomen by a 24-year old New Jersey man. A motive was unclear.
