Author Sir Salman Rushdie, whose writing has previously led to death threats, has been attacked on stage at an event in New York state.
He was about to give a lecture when a man stormed the stage at the Chautauqua Institution and began punching or stabbing Sir Salman as he was being introduced, according to an AP reporter who was there.
The author was taken or fell to the floor, and the man was restrained.

Salute to that 24 years boy.

Lame rendition of inaccurate rumors.
Allah Akbar
What should we do with speech that is not protected by our favoured justification? The answer depends on balancing the speech act in question against other values.
If the speech is not causing harm we might want to leave it alone. Others might think that harmless but grossly offensive speech should be punished. If speech reveals wartime secrets to the enemy we might want to put the person in prison.
Engaging in hate speech in Europe can quite possibly lead to the same outcome. Libel will incur civil rather than criminal charges. And that in many instances the appropriate punishment for speech is “social disapprobation” rather than legal penalty.
The reason why the argument over free speech has not been put to bed long ago is that people bring different sets of values to the discussion. The debate does not takes place in a vacuum and arguments have to be assessed against social norms, values and institutions. Speech is a social phenomenon because it requires speakers and listeners to engage with one another. The “problem” of free speech does not exist for the person stranded on a deserted island.
Even people with the same values can disagree on the facts of the matter. They might accept the argument that speech can be limited if it causes harm but disagree over whether hate speech, for example, is captured by the harm principle.
The topic quickly becomes devilishly difficult. The one thing I can say with confidence is that it is unlikely a one-size-fits-all principle will help us navigate the treacherous waters of free speech.
Once again the Violent, Terroristic actions that come from accurately following the Example of Mohammed and the 'Holy' Texts of Islam have expressed themselves for all to see. It is an ideology that is completely incompatible with the Free Western World… and we ALL Know It.
The religion of peace is at it once again.
Play Stupid games win stupid prizes
People stop buying into separatism, we are all one! Time to be together otherwise we are doomed by the elites. Time to wake up!
And more evidence of the culture of cowardice with US cops, who stood on and watched.
he got stabbed 12 times and watch he will survive because its a fake stunt to get public attention, scumbags
Just not Kushdie
Wow
Salman Rushdie is lucky to be alive… We all come with our time.
من نظرم رو اینجا میگم . خوب مگه اسلام ناب مملی عرب شتر چرون بچه باز غیر از: ترور، جنایت ، قتل عام ، دیکتاتوری، اختناق، سرکوب، خیانت ، تجاوز جنسی ، شستشو مغزئ و کلّاً مخالفت با انسانیت و تمدن و مدرنیزه شدن و پیشرفت دست آورد دیگهای واسه جهان تا به امروز داشته ؟ از زمان ساخته و پرداخته شدن اسلام ناب مملی، جنایت و خونریزی وجود داشته ، در اصل ستون اصلی دین من دراوردی اسلام " نماز " نیست بلکه " خون و خونریزی " هست. روزی جهان متمدن این ایدئولوژی بربری و وحشی رو به عنوان یک آفت جهانی ریشه کن میکنه . این خط و اینم نشون.
Even if they kill one, another one will keep standing up.
They don't understand that we don't fear death.
A lot of this type of behaviour is enshrined in the religion but no one wants to talk about it, Muhammad ordered the assassination of his critics, I cover this in my book and videos, Muslims living in the West deny this but those in the East validate it, hence the 'Fatwa' issued 30 years ago.
I like the attacker and honestly will wish him good.
Hadi is a good man. Who feels the pain of Muslims. While Rushdie is a man only to hurt People with his words and writing. I wish good for hadi.
How is he now? No one reporting on his health anymore.
