The tragedies of the Rushdie stabbing and the Iran deal
President Biden should consider the assault to be a metaphor for the dangers inherent in the West's falling prey to the deadly machine that emboldened the terrorist from New Jersey. But he didn't even dare to mention the "fatwa" – or terrorism – in his public statement.And that's because he was adhering to the Religion of Peace, the driving force behind Iran's tyranny. This sadly makes clear that even the USA, with the way things are going now, isn't safe from Islamofascism, and the Chautauqua Institution owes an apology to Rushdie for not enforcing security at the gathering, which enabled the terrorist to infiltrate.
The attempted murder on Friday of Salman Rushdie is the latest in a string of appalling incidents that ought to put the United States and its P5+1 partners to shame for their efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal with the evil regime in Tehran.
Rushdie, author of "The Satanic Verses" – the 1988 book that earned him critical acclaim in the West and a fatwa for his annihilation from Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini – was about to address a large audience at the Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York when he was tackled and stabbed multiple times by a radical Muslim enamored of Iran.
Despite ridiculous reports of an unclear motive for the attack, the 24-year-old perpetrator, Lebanese-American Hadi Matar of New Jersey, made no bones on social media about his support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The only question is whether he plotted the killing purely for ideological reasons or also had his eye on the $3.3 million bounty on Rushdie's head. Perhaps both, as they are not mutually exclusive.
His affinity for the IRGC and proxies was also apparent in his choice of name on the phony driver's license he used as an ID to enter the premises: Hassan Mughniyah. The alias was a tribute to two arch-terrorists, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and Imad Mughniyah, the former head of the Iran-backed, Lebanon-based organization's international operations, whose assassination in Damascus in 2008 has been attributed to the Mossad.
Though Matar appears to have acted alone, Iran's state-run media and hardline pundits have been praising him to the skies for knifing the "apostate."
