Iran state media hails Salman Rushdie's attacker as 'courageous and duty-conscious man' whose hands should be kissed for 'tearing the neck of the enemy of God with a knife'
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 14 2022 | JACK WRIGHT

Iran's deranged state media has today gleefully celebrated the sickening attack on Salman Rushdie, hailing the British author's suspected knifeman and branding the novellist an 'apostate' and 'heretic' whose book The Satanic Verses 'blasphemed' the Prophet Muhammad.

Rushdie, 75, was stabbed up to 15 times - including once in the neck - on stage in upstate New York - more than 30 years after the theocratic dictatorship in Tehran issued a fatwa calling for the murder of the writer and anyone involved with the publication of the 1988 novel.

The edict forced Sir Salman to go into hiding for a decade under an alias and round-the-clock police protection - and fuelled worldwide riots and book-burnings.

Meanwhile Biden is close to a nuclear deal with Iran. One key element is that there will be no inspections of some of the nuclear facilities in Iran, the U.S. will just take Iran’s word they aren’t working on a nuclear bomb.

Biden is desperate to remove sanctions and get Iran oil flowing to the West before the November mid-terms, and is willing to sell out the U.S. to do it.

I got censored on AOL for commenting on one of their articles that stabbing the neck is an ROP move, even though that is in fact who committed this act

I bought a copy of his book when the controversy first blew up. Couldnt read more than a chapter. I doubt that anyone else did either.

“deranged”? Uh, uh.
This is like pretending that the disasters perpetrated on the US economy by this admin are mere side effects. No, they are the goal — destruction of a capitalist economy. That was the stated goal of the UN’s IPCC with allthis global warming crappola and that remains the goal of BeijingBiden’s CCP masters.

These are the people that our administration wants to allow to have nuclear weapons. Is there any question that Brandon is out to destroy America?

Chris Wray had all his assets deployed at Mar a lago and in hunting down trespassing grannies, nobody left to protect a man with a bounty on his head, whose associates had experienced several assassination attempts. Get rid of Wray one way or another.
