    If you hate anti Jewish, you should hate anti-Islam and anti-Christian.
    Mr. Rushdie is an Islam hater.

    I was thinking only just yesterday that I haven’t seen or heard anything about him since the attack, and was hoping he was doing okay. Aside from the obvious physical aftermath of what happened, he seems almost like nothing happened. What a guy.

    Stewart refers to Rushtie’s attacker, as a “gentleman” no fewer than three times!🤔
    Do words have meaning anymore?
    Especially ironic because Rushtie is the consummate gentleman!

    What a stud for coming out on the other side of this event the way he did! If it were me, I’d have to sleep with one eye opened…

    Rushdie pulling out the ridiculous fear-mongering of video games.

    “Everything offends somebody.”
    EXCUSE ME.
    I would never.

    Everyone does always seem so angry. It’s not enjoyable.

    John, quit referring to him as a ‘gentleman’. The guy is a criminal, plain and simple.

    Wasn’t Mark David Champman brainwashed when he attacked and killed John Lennon?
