The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
On August 12th, Salman Rushdie, the famed dissident author, was attacked in a vicious stabbing during a lecture in New York state. The attacker was identified as 24-year-old Hadi Matar. According to eyewitnesses, Matar stabbed/punched Rushdie more than ten times. Despite being caught right after the attack, Matar plead "not guilty" during his arraignment on August 18th. In an interview with the New York Post, Matar said he admires Iran's previous supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomenei, who infamously issued the religious ruling, or fatwa, which called for the murder of Rushdie in response to his "blasphemous" novel, The Satanic Verses. The Islamic Republic of Iran has denied allegations that it was involved in Rushdie's attack. However, VICE News reported that anonymous European and Middle Eastern intelligence officials confirmed that Matar communicated directly with the members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). More precise and specific information about the attacker's motives is not known at this time. According to Andrew Wylie, Rushdie's literary agent, his recovery is "headed in the right direction." The author suffered a liver and severed nerves in his arms, and Wylie added that he might lose an eye. When the attack took place, Rushdie was about to deliver a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, New York. Ironically, the scheduled topic of discussion was how the United States is a haven for exiled writers and artists.
