The people who are practising the Muslim faith and trying to attack Salman Rushdie should seek within themselves that in the western world, we tolerate their faith AND so in turn, they should tolerate other religions and western values especially a freedom of speech. If the Muslim faith means murdering human’s being because they have a different view point, then we should really not be a part of it nor tolerate it.
Whoever offends Islam will be punished twice, once in this world and will be at the hands of Muslims and once in the hereafter, and it will be at the hands of God, so that everyone knows that we Muslims do not forget who offends us even after a while.
🇸🇾🇸🇾🇸🇾🇸🇾
And of course, it was a Biden voter.
Still unclear what his motive was, wake up…it’s radical Islamic extremism
Now it has hit this wonderful person after all – Islam is mercilessly characterised by hatred and violence . The Iranians and others are cheering, are thrilled – just like back then with 9/11.
This is sick !
Let's be honest if he wrote an insulting book on Jews or the LGBTQ would he still be honoured for freedom of speech? No chance.
Where the world was when Rushdie insulted our PROPHET P UH…ok opinion….my opinion is that all biblical versions are not the true scriptures and have humanly created distractions into it….hence, not to be taken seriously….as it will guide nowhere…
Finally something I hear that makes me very happy but not as much as if it(Rushdie) would be dead now…
That's the incomprehensible and abstract nature of religion. It can mean whatever you want, enabling you to do whatever you want, ultimately creating psychopaths.
Still…The greatest threat to the US is “white supremacy” 🤦♂️
All these christian white male supremacists, am i right? Down with the west, inshallah dudes
if a person insults Christians he will be hated by all Christians. Similarly if he insults Islam, Hinduism or any other religion, he will be hated by all followers of that religion. salman rushdie was punished for his own actions
New York is just a wreck now.
First time of seeing and hearing of this man he looks like the 666 to me
Damn Israelis
Islam is the religion of peace. Big misunderstanding: This peace is supposed to arrive when the entire world is Muslim. But when you see the wars between muslim nations, you doubt even this.
The assaillant acted upon a Fatwa from Iran. Iran with nuclear weapons?
Gringos love to talk about other countries insecurity….there you go…..your country is a mess
I've heard those former 24-year-olds are very violent !
The truth is that not only is Islam a stagnant nation, it is a stagnant ideology, incapable of change or achievement, locked forever in the dark ages by its own book! Not ONE Islamic country has ONE university in the top 150 universities in the world! All that is left for them is ignorance, superstition, jealousy and hate!
Stay away from Islam!
الابتعاد عن الاسلام!
So they proved his book is not a fiction, Islam is indeed Satanic
I love Salmon Rushdie, I really hope he pulls through. Something tells me he could care less for my prayers😆. But I wish him all the best.
good he had it coming
Damn white supremacist with their guns… smh
This fall and winter, NYC gonna be lit
When I got into Rushdie's writing and read about Khomeini's fatwa; I kind of winced at it, but thought not much of it. Well, here we are in 2022 and one of our world's most inventive living writers is viciously attacked. I think the perpetrator would have gained so much more from reading and absorbing Salman Rushdie's works, than this. Humanity is just gasping for its last breaths as we speak.
Stabbing in New York ? What's new ? People get stabbed and shot on daily basis in that notorious Hell Kitchen. Schools children frequently get shot and massacred like rabbits by the dozen in that country. What else is new ?
This dude literally wrote a book about promoting Satanism and they got him. 😂
The attacker already posted a 5 dollar bond….
“Motives still unclear” also “3 million dollar bounty on his head”…….
Sounds like an open border problem. 🤔
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.
All the supporters of this insanity can prove is that their concept of god is beyond cruel and that religion is extremely toxic.
These fanatics will forever be around.
