Maybe he was attacked because he was talking in French?

Rushdie has never been a threat to Islam. There is a war between Western Liberalism and Islamic Fundamentalism, and you can argue the toss about good Mooslms and bad Mooslms, but you would be evading the issue. Placating their fanaticism under the banner of cultural sensitivity, and inclusivity only encourages them.

Wow, a fatwa executed after so many years.  Shocked

The perp:

The suspect was identified as Hadi Matar, a 24-year-old man from Fairview, New Jersey, who bought a pass to the event, police said.

New York: Salman Rushdie, the Indian-born novelist who spent years in hiding after Iran urged Muslims to kill him because of his writing, was stabbed in the neck and abdomen onstage at a lecture in New York state and airlifted to a hospital, police said.

Rushdie will likely lose an eye and suffered severed nerves in an arm and damage to his liver after he was stabbed, his agent said, adding that Rushdie was on a ventilator.

“The news is not good. Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged,” Andrew Wylie said in a written statement.

He was perceived as a "threat" by (fundamentalist) Moslems in the M.E. because he referred to the Koran as "The Satanic Verses". 

Just as I am likely to be considered a "threat" to (fundamentalist) Judaism when I refer to Jehovah as a genocidal bronze-age God, as stated in the OT itself. (eg 1 Samuel 15, 1-3). 

The difference is that Jews (and Christians] in the West have progressed through a cultural  "Enlightenment", so they will not so readily feel "threatened' by my (factual) statement.

Not so for the ME where any "enlightenment" is patchy at best.

Well, a political dispute between democratic liberalism, and theocratic rule; just as there is a political dispute between democratic liberalism and rule by consensus one party 'autocracy'. (Theocracy is based on religious dogma, 'autocracy' is merely a different economic philosophy of government).

No you wouldn't. Not all Moslems are fundamentalists,
and the Koran is merely an imperfect guide to a relationship with God, as is the OT - which unfortunately was combined with the NT in the first century AD, against the wishes of Marcion, an early compiler of the evolving NT canon.    

Quote:

Disputed above. Awareness that ALL scripture is the word of men, not the Word Of God, is the urgently required teaching  in the modern global world - especially in the 'backward' M.E.  countries.

They just love your objectivity, because it shows weakness. As I have said, you can argue the toss about good Moos and bad Moos, but you are wasting your breath. Mooslms are not interested in "perceived threats," they are interested killing infidels as instructed in the Koran.

Muzzlums cannot be trusted. An absence of violent behavior is no guarantee of tolerance. As a religion, they have a history of "running amok," which was first seen by Westerners in Malaya. Unfortunately, Wikipedia tries to use Western objectivity to make comparisons to other acts of violence the connection for which is bogus. However, they do state that it is cultural.
