Salman Rushdie attacked while on stage in New York
Salman Rushdie, the author whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was stabbed Friday as he was about to give a lecture in western New York.
The attacker was restrained.
Rushdie’s book “The Satanic Verses” is banned in Iran since 1988, as many Muslims consider it to be blasphemous.
The attack comes right after the arrest of someone Iran paid $300k to kill John Bolton.
