Salman Rushdie has come to terms with the attempt on his life the only way he knows: by writing about it in his new book. He details the experience in his first television interview since the attack.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

As an Iranian I feel so ashamed of the Islamists here not just ruining our lives, but hurting this man's life as well for so long. What an amazing man and a brilliant writer you are Mr. Rushdie.

@Tyler-vw9bh Месяц назад

I’ve been fortunate enough to meet several Iranians in my life (I live in USA). All of them have been amazing people (same with all Nigerians I have met). Unfortunately I know a lot of Americans have probably never met an Iranian in person (or at least didn’t know they were Iranian). I worry that given what we see on the news those people will judge all Iranians negatively, hopefully that is not the case. Hopefully the regime falls and both countries can resume friendly relations. I encourage all Americans to watch interviews of the average Iranian and many of them say good things about the USA and how they want to get along with us. In fact, given the videos of Americans themselves chanting ‘death to America’ I wish we could trade those Americans for the Iranians who want to escape the regime…. Seems like a win-win lol

His attacker was a 24 year-old kid living in his mother's basement with no future, no personal identity, no motivation, and no aspirations. His only identity was his religion, and here was Salman Rushdie, an atheist, a brilliant author, highly educated, highly successful, who had everything. What would be the simplest and easiest way to get instant fame and notoriety, and approval from the fanatics in his religion? Killing the man he was jealous of. It was as simple as that. "I just didn't like him very much". Brilliant self-analysis, guy. That's as far as his thinking went. I feel sorry for his mother; but I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison.

Some of us do know. I do, and I lament the censorship we also have experienced trying to wake people from their slumber. The topic has become social media Kryptonite. I'm shut down at least 3 times a week for 24 to 48 hours, just for saying words like a nation's name. I never EVER thought this day would come in the West, but here it is. In the last few years, and especially in the last 6 months, censorship is the West is the worst it has ever been. I heard every word you said, loudly, in my heart.

@Dystopikachu Месяц назад

Even in the west, it is increasingly becoming harder to speak truth to power. Freedom of speech in general is also becoming conditional upon the feelings of the recipient, because apparently offense is now regarded as something given rather than taken. I suspect this is how it starts, and autocratic rule is how it ends. I wish more people like you were here to warn us of the consequences.

We are not entirely free here in the west, either. With that said, I do not take the degree of freedom we do have, for granted. We have a greater range to speak our minds, but the great American freedom is largely an illusion. We have the appearance of freedom. We are being censored and restricted, at an increasingly alarming pace. Many Americans feel like they are genuinely free, because they have bought into American propaganda, and indoctrination masked as education, so they have no thoughts outside of those approved by the government.

@@sheshahayat5117 no, because he's a good writer. The Satanic Verses aren't "thousands of pages long", and he hasn't dedicated his life to besmirching Islam's name. You strike me as someone who hasn't actually read any of his work and allows others to fill your head with ideas. Every religion out there is subject to ridicule: you'll find stereotypes of every faith in media, Western stand-up comics have been making fun of Christianity for decades, and shows like Family Guy and South Park have prospered while making fun of almost every religion. The difference is, most faiths lack a significant number of insecure fundamentalists that feel as if their Almighty needs to be protected or rescued by mere mortals. As yourself this: If Rushdie's book truly was blasphemous enough to warrant the fatwah, why does Allah SWT still allow him to live? Has the mandate for his assassination come from above, or simply from humans like ourselves?

When Dan Brown writes a fictional story using debatable references to non canonical gospels, there are critical push back from Christians. However there's an understanding that a violent reaction goes too far because it goes against Jesus' teachings. When Rushdie writes a fictional story using debatable references in the Quran, the threat of violence from a fanatical Islamist is very real. The Charlie Hebdo tragedy was another reminder.

One of the first questions was “Did you have any idea that it would cause violence?“ I understand why he asked that but grown men with delusions “caused” the violence, not bound paper.

I hope Rushdie is with us for years to come, and I hope his attacker learns what an American prison is like for decades to come.

@yomamasohot6411 Месяц назад

The man's an American so I don't think he was completely unaware of the American prison system.

I appreciate his stance and the fact that the attacker will not be named; such people should not be become 'celebrities'. Thank you Mr. Rushdie.

He's just an insanely brilliant man whose words move matter, thats all. Oh & yeah... has the man on his side, for his truths, his light, not his dark death.

@@yomamasohot6411 , No, the fact that I think it's interesting that he had a strange dream before he was attacked, means that I am excluded from the possibility of knowing anything about Salman Rushdie, despite having read several of his novels and having watched his interviews for the past 20 years. That's very perceptive of you.
