In reply to Author Salman Rushdie stabbed at speaking event in NY state

I remember the queue of people who were desperate to condemn Rushdie at the time including the pope who sided with the mullahs. Too few among us realise how precious freedom of speech is

I’m marvelling at the leftist identitarians trying to close down the current free speech debate - talking about ‘relative power’. And with a straight face. As though they aren’t the Establishment. Like they aren’t simply trying to maintain their stranglehold on the culture.

EU prez makes it an "EU values" statement:

I’m relieved that @SalmanRushdie is progressing with his recovery.

The world needs this fearless fighter for freedom of speech.
Voices like his make our democracies vibrant.

The cowardly, hateful attack on his life reminds us that we must protect those who defend our values. pic.twitter.com/bhXQUCaJk5

Yeah, or QAnon types trying to kidnap a female governor with Trump's blessings, (or Stone's Proud Boys putting crosshairs in a female judge in a photo with Barr's "no big deal" as support), et al. I was thinking how this free speech vs factions shouting it down/threatening the speakers had expanded.

is definitely a big related meme in the UK:

if you’re outraged by the depraved attack on sir salman rushdie but silent on death threats against @jk_rowling, @bindelj and other female writers, you’re not the free speech champion you think you are. my @scotonsunday column: https://t.co/fp738fA4yQ

“But we are not all Rushdie. And in fact the past couple decades have led me to wonder if some of us are more Khomeini than we’d like to admit.” https://t.co/LRSzFDlzoD

Per "Daughter of Persia"

Per "Daughter of Persia" Khomeini's gang crushed people's vocal cords so you couldn't hear them scream as they were walked over the building rooftop's edge, hundreds at a time. That was around 1980 - don't know what happened in 1988. But all the promise for the Revolution got off to a pretty piss-poor start.

there was another Iranian

there was another Iranian Islamist executioner in NY recently -

Today the man with a loaded AK47 who got arrested in front of my home in New York, has been indicted on a weapons count.
The authority moved me to a safe house.
But to be honest the word “safe” is too luxury for those of us who speak up against Islamists. @NBCNews pic.twitter.com/Wx5QsosweR

I am not scared of dying but I believe we must be tough on terror.
The US should kick out Iran’s diplomats & deny a visa to Ebrahim Raisi, for attending the U.N. General Assembly gathering in New York next month.

Guess who defends Khomeini’s FATWA against #Salman_Rushdie?
Mahallati the Islamic Republic’s former ambassador at the UN who is now a professor at @oberlincollege. He has said that the punishment for blasphemy is death.
The US must be tough on terror.

We Iranians call on @oberlincollege again to investigate about Mahallati the Islamic Republic’s former ambassador at the UN who defends the Fatwa against Salman Rushdie. I can provide many other documents which shows his role on covering up the mass execution in 1988 in Iran. pic.twitter.com/mFoOjU6JqS

There’s been a fatwa on Salman Rushdie from Khomeini since 1989 and the Islamic Republic of Iran never backed off the fatwa .@khamenei_ir repeated it on Twitter as well.
Now Islamic Republic promoters praising the assassination.
