Does your book become heavenly and holy when you attack someone like Salman Rushdi who criticizesing it? Is killing the only solution in Islam? Its like your god always needs people to come and protect him and his book because he is not able to protect himself

[SuspectUsual]

"IRRATIONAL Fear of Islam" is called Islamophobia!
"RATIONAL Fear of Islam" is called COMMON SENSE!

[nikhil]

It is not a religion it is a cult. Period.

[me]

Have you noticed that none/ almost none of your Muslim friends condemn this attack or killing?

“No, I don’t think it’s fair to label Islam ‘violent.’ But I will say that to my knowledge, no writer has ever gone into hiding for criticizing the Amish.”
— Salman Rushdie

With a bounty for his death, where is the security that should be in place for an event like this?:-/

[jonspengler]

The fact that with all those people in that room and the attacker wasn’t ripped to icees shows how weak the average American has become

[Nasserattaf]

If you have so much faith in god and god is supposed to be all powerful, why do you feel the need to kill someone because they have different views on god? Surely god doesn’t care or get hurt if 1 person says that god doesn’t exist?

*Fear of Islam shouldn't be called "Islamophobia".*
*It should be called "Common Sense".*
🤲🏿

Islamophobia is rational. It is EVIDENCE BASED.

Peaceful people spreading peace across country

[anshumansahu]

The stabber has actually vindicated what Salman Rushdie has been saying all along.

[jess-qeed]

The only way to save Salman Rushdie, Patty Samuel, Nupur Sharma and Kanihya Lal is to promote free speech, critical of Mohammed and Quran. Offense is the only defense.

Peaceful people are spreading piece all over the world.

[tremannaik]

unbelievable. I didnt know his book, and now I m going to buy and read it

[ca-jfey]

A fresh reminder of how primitive religions can take a deadly toll

Edit - I should actually say: a fresh reminder of how primitive fanatics of any religion can take their toll

[free_br]

America will act on 1 person who attacked him but never talk or do anything about the ideology that promotes these acts of violence, increasing in US !! 😔
What will happen to American's freedom

[Htheorphanarian]

credit to him, that's a long time to survive from the piano that's been hanging over his head for over 34 years..

[anarkali_]

Hope he recovers soon. No one should be attacked for their views.
