Hadi Matar, who stabbed Rushdie, said that he disliked Rushdie because the writer had “attacked Islam.” The ever-ridiculous Daily Mail here proves that some people won’t see what is right in front of their faces even if its comes up and stabs them fifteen times. I am not referring to Rushdie, but to the Daily […]
Rushdie stabber says Rushdie is ‘someone who attacked Islam,’ complains prison food ‘not allowed in my religion’
The authorities and establishment media will ignore or explain away this ingenuous statement of intent and find the real cause of the attack elsewhere: will Matar soon be declared mentally ill? “Salman Rushdie attacker praises Iran’s ayatollah, surprised author survived: jailhouse interview,” by Steven Vago and Ben Kesslen, New York Post, August 17, 2022: The New Jersey […]
Iran Builds Its Own Online ISIS in America
What the Rushdie attack, a Nevada stabbing, and a bomb plot in D.C. may have in common. Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. The stabbing of author Salman Rushdie by a Lebanese Shiite Muslim from New Jersey […]
Rushdie stabber’s mother says he traveled to Middle East, returned angry he didn’t get strict Muslim upbringing
So many times we have seen jihadis turn out to be people who were unreligious, and then at some point in their lives became much more involved with Islam, and then turned to jihad. Authorities, however, remain resolutely incurious about the possibility that Islamic teaching just might have something to do with this turn to […]
Rushdie stabber had been in touch with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps
Did the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps send him to kill Rushdie? The possibility cannot be ruled out. And if he was coming from outside the country, it would have been easy for him to get into the United States, for our first priority regarding immigration and entry into the country is not to appear racist. […]
Rushdie attacker had ‘strong indicators of support for Iranian regime,’ cops won’t say if he was motivated by fatwa
Nothing could be plainer than that Hadi Matar was motivated by Khomeini’s fatwa. Are investigators trying to protect Old Joe Biden’s relentless quest to appease the Iranian regime? “Salman Rushdie attack suspect: What investigators are saying,” by Josh Margolin, Nadine El-Bawab, and Aaron Katersky, ABC News, August 13, 2022: Law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation into Salman […]
Rushdie stabber’s Facebook page featured images of Khamenei, Khomeini, Soleimani
“Motive unclear,” say the propagandists.
New York Times, New York State Police say Rushdie stabber’s motive is unclear
The man’s motive couldn’t possibly be clearer. Salman Rushdie has had a death fatwa over his head since 1989. This is just more willful ignorance, a refusal to confront the ugly realities of jihad violence. “Salman Rushdie is attacked onstage in Western New York,” by Jay Root, David Gelles, Elizabeth A. Harris and Julia Jacobs, New York Times, August […]
Rushdie attacker is Hadi Matar, ‘New Jersey man with sympathies toward the Iranian government’
The Post doesn’t mention, of course, why he would want to kill Rushdie, or why he stabbed Rushdie in the neck. Joe Marino and Evan Simko-Bednarski likely don’t know, and if they did, they wouldn’t say. To do so would be “Islamophobic.” “NJ man, Hadi Matar, with sympathies toward Iranian government ID’d as suspect in Salman […]
