A FATWA IS FOREVER
Attack on Salman Rushdie is Proof of How Dangerous Iran Has Become
“The attack on Salman Rushdie is an attack on our freedoms and values. It is the result of decades of incitement by Iran.”
Israel Today
While the West is wringing hands over its failure to prevent Iran
from advancing toward a functional atomic bomb, Israel has long been
warning that there are many other ways Iran can and is destabilizing the
Middle East and the world.
Case in point: Saturday’s stabbing of famed author Salman Rushdie.
“The attack on Salman Rushdie is an attack on our freedoms and
values. It is the result of decades of incitement led by the extremist
regime in Tehran,” tweeted Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid. “On behalf
of the people of Israel, we wish him a full and speedy recovery.”
AyatollahRuhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa in 1989 calling for Rushdie’s assassination
The British-Indian novelist has had a long and successful career, but
is best known to many for authoring the 1988 historical novel The Satanic Verses dealing with the origins of Islam. The book’s publication sparked widespread Muslim protests, and then-Iranian Supreme Leader AyatollahRuhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa calling for Rushdie’s assassination. He has lived under British police protection ever since.
On Friday, Rushdie was taking the stage to deliver a lecture in New
York when a man identified as a US-born Muslim of Lebanese descent
rushed the author and managed to stab him 10 times before being subdued
by staff and spectators.
Evidence on the assailant’s phone linked him to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
