How long our freedome of expression will permiting to hurt feelings of other religions, if one dont like a religion just stop following them and leave them alone and stop hurting them , instead of hurting their feelings be more civilized to stop pushing our planet earth towards more hostility.
fake propaganda, so after 12 stabs he survived 🤣
The reporter looks like Dana Bash.
Immigrants bring their problems with them. Be careful who you let in.
Well done he deserves all who make fun of our prophet
muslin man drops weapons and runs from Taliban but nearly 80 yr old defenseless man is rushed on stage by same
muslin man yelling "Allah,, Allah you pay my rent"
Religion of peace?!? Islamophobia is Common Sense! Christians and Jews world wide must wake up to this reality! Under the guise of "minority" these radicals get their way till they get to 30% in any region – then the shariya law, ethnic cleansing, jaziya tax on non-muslims, economic sanctions on non-muslim businesses (halal/haram) begins and leading up to coercion and killing (jihad). So many countries have witnessed it – Persia was destroyed, Afghanistan (a buddist nation) is in shambles, Lebanon was 80% christians in 1940s and now is a terrorist state… how many more examples do we need?!? Its only a matter of decades for Scandanavian nations, belgium to become muslim nations.. Islamophobia is Common Sense my fellow Christians and Jews! wake up!
Western NY. Stop calling us Upstate, it's not.
Why are people supporting a satanist? Hadi stabbed a soldier of lucifer.
Nice attack
If you don't like something don't read it, protest but violence is unacceptable; horrific attack on an elderly man; please remember most muslim people do not agree with this way of dealing with situations they don't like
Whistles and walks away.
America has become a third world country! Thanks to the Democrats!
Its a fair game if you already know the outcome is gonna be death, but you prefere to buy few years of fame with your life. Its a simple matter.
Its legal for me to say the f word out loud right, now imagine i sit in front of your house saying f… f…. f…. f…. f…. f…. in front of your 4 daughters aged 8, 9, 10 11 all day and as soon as they ecit the house. You must be a low life not to react.
Ppl in security need to be fired
These Muslim fanatics are always dead behind the eyes and creepy.
Speedy recovery to Mr Rushdie.

Salman Rushdie Survived!!!..Thank God…..🙏…Even Though 99% Of People Have Never Read His Books 📚 For The 1% He's Required Reading For A Doctorate In Monotheism!!!!…#bookworms
In the united States people are violently attacked and threatened everyday by extremnists for what they say , think, joke about, and believe
A non-author Rush die?
This man, the rusty brain, is a fool and why he did what he did is writing a useless book just to make some money and nothing more. And he can read too and he did read the last Book sent, that is the Holy Quran and he well know that this Book is not from this world for it is not written by any human being. Yet the Book described this man’s creation in his mother’s womb in 6th century precisely as the medical science knows today. But in spite of reading and knowing that the last Book has many scientific facts such as a mountain is a peg as the root of a mountain is just as deep as it’s height above the ground. So for a few bucks to make from totally misleading book, he took a big chance for which he has a big price for rest of his life. There is nothing to blame Islam for but it is the weakness of the the human nature that if you insult or hurt someone, he will come after you again and again seeking his revenge. Islam teaches forgive and let it be for God will judge and do the recompense on the Last Day.
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.
ISLAMIC REGIME IN TEHRAN IS THE MOTHER OF ANY INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM
I think that cop is the stupidest cop ever at this stage we don't have a motive for why the offender did this.
Stupid get back under your rock.
150 year old artist? LMFAO X10
I have not seen Ilhan Omar condemning the attack. She condemns everything American but where is her voice in this incident? The Dems just voted for her over a more centrist opponent in the primary. People will never learn until they are the victims. Then, it's too late.
According to history, Mohammad just killed all his unarmed critics in Mecca, proceeds to hunt down other critics in the middle east and successfully killed them all. Then he commands death to whoever criticize him and Islam, then commands muslims to terrorize and sujugate the non muslims, invading the middle east and converting it to Islam. This command is supposedly from their God which cannot be changed. This command still holds today thus, muslims whether they agree with it or not, are commanded to make war. Racism and violence is the nature of Islam.
Nothing but horror and negativity in news. This is a horrible world.
No security??!! SMH
To understand the whole situation you have to answer one simple question.
What should I expect if I publicly insult you, your mother, your father, and say disgusting dirty stuff about your wife and children for years and years. Then I go to your home and keep saying the dirty stuff.
What kind of behaviour should I expect from you?
Even if you don't physically hurt me after all those stuff,
There will be a lot of people who will get physical.
Muslim's love their prophet more than anything.
If you can glorify Rushdie in the name of freedom of speech than I don’t see why Hitler or Osama Bin Laden can’t be glorified in writing
Where America and israel is killing thousands of
muslims every day, u dont see that ???? Huh,

One man not even killed by a muslim (who
worked hard to get killed) and its all over the
