Author Salman Rushdie attacked on lecture stage in New York [View all]
Source: AP

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.

Lots of deflective weaselry:

25. It could also have been a Trump supporter

They hate Muslims. Rushdie is a Muslim.

"Christians do the same!" Not for several centuries - and yes, it was wrong when not in self-defense - but facts don't matter to DUpipo, :rotf: . Bogey-Trump did it!!! :mental:  :rotf:

Just like Chicago, during winter, in the early hours of the morning. You can't take two steps without running into a MAGAt.

For which I agree but if the separation is maintained as in the Constitution

Proving, yet again, that Reagan was right:




Dear DUmmy,

No where in the constitution nor in the bill of rights, is separation of church and state mentioned.

Try actually reading them for yourself, instead of listening to other star morons who haven't bothered to read them.

Worse still, the source of this "separation of church and state" comes from a letter from a notorious owner and raper of slaves (which is what Proggies are supposed to believe about TJ, :-) ).
