A week ago, the renowned writer Salman Rushdie was attacked before an event in New York state. He was repeatedly stabbed and remains hospitalized, though, according to his agent, he is on the road to recovery.
Earlier this week, a 24-year-old man pleaded not guilty to second-degree attempted murder and assault charges.
OPB’s Think Out Loud is bringing back a conversation we had with Salman Rushdie in 2013 after he’d written a memoir about the most famous period of his life.
On Valentine’s day, 1989, Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini introduced a new word to many people in the western world: “fatwa.”
Khomeini called on “the proud Muslim people of the world” to kill the author of “The Satanic Verses,” and all people involved in its publication.

I am currently reading Satanic Verses. At one point in Mecca Mohammad accepted 3 goddesses if the people of Mecca accepted Allah. Mohammad claimed Satan deceived him. In the book Mohammad manipulated His angel contact Gibreel to accept the 3 goddesses. Then Mohammad renounced the deal after consulting and again manipulating Gibreel. The book is placed in modern times but one character is becoming Gibreel. Clearly blasphemous.
