“There is a fight about free expression in America too, at the moment and I feel like I’m in that fight, I have a dog in that fight.” Esteemed author, Salman Rushdie speaks with Jon Stewart about his memoir, “Knife,” recounting his brush with death along with the subsequent journey of healing and the fight for free expression currently happening in the United States from the ongoing protests on college campuses to critiques of Taylor Swift’s music. #DailyShow #JonStewart #SalmanRushdie

@@marshalldamons2663 what exact difference is there that makes Islam any worse than the others? It's simply newer than Christianity. That's it. It's all dangerous bunkum, that's obvious to anyone with functional brain cells, but religion inherently imposes itself on others lives by virtue of poisoning the person infected with it with cruel, sadistic ideas about the world and themselves and others. What actually is so much worse about Islam? Cause child marriage is still legal in many states purely because of religion.

The attack on Salman Rushdie felt eerily profound, almost personal, so that my heart went out to him as though he formed part of my loved ones. It is such a joy to see him strong and recovering, and with a new book out! Way to go Mr. Rushdie! You are fighting for all of us who believe in free speech etc. etc. I just keep screaming out : YES! (“Knife” is my next read) Most of us do not have the brilliant minds that Rushdie and Stewart have, but many of us have enough to recognize it, and appreciate the value such minds represent for all of us. Both these men are so brilliant in such different ways, it is soothing to the soul to hear them interact , even if for a brief interview. The level of anger Salman Rushdie refers to is terrifying, because it cannot lead to wise decisions or voting; we live in very perilous times. That is also why I am so thankful that Jon Stewart decided to come back now! May voices such as theirs help us all! ❤️🙏🙏🙏

It`s a crazy thing to say, especially right after talking about the war in Gaza.

These two are talking with an air like their quiet brunch has been interrupted by somebody at the next table talking too loudly and being "so angry", which is really a nuisance. Let`s all have a reasonable, sophisticated, philosophic debate about what we think about civilians getting attacked by terrorists and a region being bombed because of those terrorists. Of course, and than let`s agree to disagree and after that go and have a nice game of golf. Makes me sick listening to this and I would not have expected this from Jon Stewart.

And you separate “the fatwa” from Islam how, exactly? Islam is the problem.

@globalpeace5870 23 дня назад

Salman Rushdie's mindset has basically been built on his personal hate and angerful childhhod when his father lost his job as a lawyer and they lost their luxury life in India. For knowing the validity of someone's idealogy accurately, psychology requires us to check the background and the seed of mind of them not the masked face they represent.

@moletrap2640 23 дня назад

A true profile in courage and decency. He's right on the mark of people being too easily offended and using that to justify anger and attack.

@agilemind6241 23 дня назад

I disagree, it's not the problem of people being "offended" it is how quick we are to jump to anger & attack. People have always gotten "offended" all the time for all time, but for a long time they would just be silent about it (usually out of fear), now they aren't silent about it, but rather than showing compassion and seeking understanding, they instantly jump into anger & attack. But in addition to that, the other big problem with modern society is the people who are now making a living by being professionally outraged about stuff. Many of them aren't even honestly offended by the thing, they are just acting outraged because that's what their audience wants and is paying them to do. The internet has democratized media, and what people are voting for with their click & eyeballs is overhyped fabricated outrage content.

@dahliafully 21 день назад

@@agilemind6241 Thank you for pointing to the Professional Outrage Machine. The tech industry likes to claim that the internet democratized media, which at first it seemed to, but as the Friedman economics took over the corporate monoliths that actually run it, the main search engine took down their "Don't Be Evil" slogan in the lobby. It's no longer neutral therefore no longer a shred of being democratized. It's a surveillance economy where these very sentences are quietly being judged for their value or danger just as in a totalitarian society. For now, we're sometimes allowed to say them. Three cheers for Rushdie when he pushes back on algorithms. But it's a weak point for him if he thinks it's because he's too old. Stewart is more savvy here, slyly inserting that the algorithms aren't as ageist as Rushdie suggests.

I think along with freedom of speech is the freedom to listen and hear. That’s where algorithms have come in. Coupled with basically any negativity, preconceived notions and just bias itself, can create chaos. What I enjoy and dislike about myself is that even if I have an aversion to someone, topic or place, I’ll visit and decide for myself. We want the right ideas to spread but we do need to have time on our side, actually listen to the development of someone’s though process over the years and leave plenty of room for individuals to have friendships that can survive tough times. Right now, there’s none of that. So for now, it’s just the necessities of life.
