What happened? Why did the stream end ?
"ATTACKED"?? He was stabbed in the neck by a Muslim "ON CAMERA" ffs I thought ATV was unbiased! It's ATTEMPTED MURDER & he had a FATWAH on him. UNSUBSCRIBED
It was over the writing of the Satanic verses by Salman Rushdie
I ah tell you so
I'm kind of surprised he managed to live this long without being killed.
Religious fanaticism, of any type, is evil, especially when it leads to violence.
Believe whatever you want, but keep it to yourself!
This outrage is what comes of respecting religion. A religion feared has power over the mind of man, and that is dangerous. Blood has been spilled because of this toxic cancer, and it should be excised like a tumor. All religion is cancerous. Live, Salman, for humanity's sake.
Language of Truth. Peace or hate? Choice? Peace for me. Thank you

فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشهُرُ الحُرُمُ فَاقتُلُوا المُشرِكينَ حَيثُ وَجَدتُموهُم وَخُذوهُم وَاحصُروهُم وَاقعُدوا لَهُم كُلَّ مَرصَدٍ ۚ فَإِن تابوا وَأَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكاةَ فَخَلّوا سَبيلَهُم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

fa-ʾidhā nsalakha l-ʾashhuru l-ḥurumu fa-qtulū l-mushrikīna ḥaythu wajadtumūhum wa-khudhūhum wa-ḥṣurūhum wa-qʿudū lahum kulla marṣadin fa-ʾin tābū wa-ʾaqāmū ṣ-ṣalāta wa-ʾātawu z-zakāta fa-khallū sabīlahum ʾinna llāha ghafūrun raḥīmun
Translation
Then, when the sacred months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every ambush. But if they repent, and maintain the prayer and give the zakāt, then let them alone. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهورِ عِندَ اللَّهِ اثنا عَشَرَ شَهرًا في كِتابِ اللَّهِ يَومَ خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ مِنها أَربَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ۚ ذٰلِكَ الدّينُ القَيِّمُ ۚ فَلا تَظلِموا فيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُم ۚ وَقاتِلُوا المُشرِكينَ كافَّةً كَما يُقاتِلونَكُم كافَّةً ۚ وَاعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ المُتَّقينَ

ʾinna ʿiddata sh-shuhūri ʿinda llāhi thnā ʿashara shahran fī kitābi llāhi yawma khalaqa s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍa minhā ʾarbaʿatun ḥurumun dhālika d-dīnu l-qayyimu fa-lā taẓlimū fīhinna ʾanfusakum wa-qātilū l-mushrikīna kāffatan ka-mā yuqātilūnakum kāffatan wa-ʿlamū ʾanna llāha maʿa l-muttaqīna
Translation
Indeed the number of months with Allah is twelve months in Allah’s Book, the day when He created the heavens and the earth. Of these, four are sacred. That is the upright religion. So do not wrong yourselves during them.1 Fight all the polytheists, just as they fight you all, and know that Allah is with the Godwary.
Rushdie and Hitchens were my heros growing up.
thanks for covering this Steve
