Any religion which proscribes death to infidels is insidious.

If you meant that as some kind of swipe at me, personally, please just come right out and say it.

Correct. Never forget, beginning with a few nomadic followers of Muhammad, his religion is now majority religion practicing sharia law in dozens of countries. Europe is already on the way out. America will be next. Just matter of time, not if.

Muslims are now the Majority in following countries.

Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Egypt, Turkey,
Iran, Sudan, Algeria, Afghanistan, Morocco,
Iraq, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Yemen,
Syria, Kazakhstan, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal,
Tunisia, Guinea, Somalia, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan,
Sierra Leone, Libya, Jordan, United Arab Emirates,
Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Chad, Lebanon, Kuwait,
Albania, Mauritania, Oman, Kosovo, Gambia, Bahrain,
Comoros, Qatar, Djibouti, Brunei, Maldives, Gaza.

Very large populations of Muslims exist in many other countries.

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

These people are still angry about things that happened in the 7th century....

If this person is from Azerbaijan and/or related to the Huseyniyyun group it would ring a few bells, an provide an Iranian connection.

Huseyniyyun sympathizes with the most famous militant Shia movement, Hezbollah, and their banner (right) resembles that of Hezbollah, with the addition of Azerbaijan’s map and coat of arms. Many members fought in the last decade’s wars in Syria and Iraq as pro-Assad volunteers against the Islamic State and Sunni opposition forces.

The group has become especially visible and has been the topic of a broad social media discussion since early June when Tale Bagirzade, Azerbaijan’s most prominent Shia leader, started a hunger strike in prison.

He is one of the bravest and most honest writers ever to live. His book Satanic Verses” was the first real attempt to expose the Muslim cult as the vile, evil, and murderous movement that it is and should be mandatory reading in American schools. It is Satan’s foremost attempt to keep vulnerable weak minded people from finding Christ. Its murdering leaders essentially put out a contract hit on Rushdie that is obviously still in effect these many decades later, after forcing Mr. Rushdie to go into hiding in order to stay alive. That is illegal in the civilized world and those individuals should be locked up for life or worse. If we had listen to Mr. Rushdie back then we might have averted an untold number of innocent lives, including those who died at the demand of this evil cult on September 11, 2001. What do you think would have happened if Pat Robertson had told all Baptist that in order will to be a good Baptist and to be received into heaven they had to kill a specific individual or for that matter anyone who criticized the Baptist religion? God bless Mr. Rushdie and I’m sure a great reward awaits him in heaven, and its not something as ridiculous as a tent full of virgins.

I can’t see how he survived. They said he was “stabbed multiple times in the neck”. I can’t see how he could survive that unless they were superficial cuts
