Anonymous Coward User ID: 79297803 United States 08/12/2022 11:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS August 12, 2022 at 11:14 AM EDT ASSOCIATED PRESS/THE Private Company Chautauqua, N.Y. (AP) -- Salman Rushdie, the author whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was attacked Friday as he was about to give a lecture in western New York. An Associated Press reporter witnessed a man storm the stage at the Chautauqua Institution and begin punching or stabbing Rushdie as he was being introduced. The author was taken or fell to the floor, and the man was restrained. Rushdie’s book “The Satanic Verses” has been banned in Iran since 1988, as many Muslims consider it to be blasphemous. A year later, Iran’s late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie’s death. Iran has also offered over $3 million in reward for anyone who kills Rushdie. |

And yeah, revenge is forever for certain groups of folks. And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking.

The book still exists, the bad feeling it generated still exists, as he just found out.
