Golfingboy Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I’m shocked he was that brave to not have more security around him, even in rural NY and 34 years after Satanic Verses came out. He’s obviously a brilliant author who has done some fantastic work. Our PM Trudeau sent best wishes and condemned the attack. Also, I was surprised to see a Muslim journalist and a professor of Middle Eastern studies stay very neutral and even praise him. Canada is so leftist right now and pro-minority/immigration, but I guess even our public figures can’t praise a stabbing. Heard he lost an eye and still in bad shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
