Author, wrote the Satanic Verses about 30 years ago and had/has a bounty on his head. Classic diss of Muhammad.
It was a major deal at the time, and for a decade afterward. Not so much since 911.

The Satanic Verses is the fourth novel of British-Indian writer Salman Rushdie. First published in September 1988, the book was inspired by the life of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. As with his previous books, Rushdie used magical realism and relied on contemporary events and people to create his characters. The title refers to the Satanic Verses, a group of Quranic verses that refer to three pagan Meccan goddesses: Allat, Al-Uzza, and Manat.[1] The part of the story that deals with the "satanic verses" was based on accounts from the historians al-Waqidi and al-Tabari.[1]
In the United Kingdom, The Satanic Verses received positive reviews, was a 1988 Booker Prize finalist (losing to Peter Carey's Oscar and Lucinda) and won the 1988 Whitbread Award for novel of the year.[2] However, major controversy ensued as Muslims accused it of blasphemy and mocking their faith. The outrage among Muslims resulted in Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, then Supreme Leader of Iran, calling for Rushdie's death on 14 February 1989. The result was several failed assassination attempts on Rushdie, who was placed under police protection by the UK government, and attacks on several connected individuals, including the murder of translator Hitoshi Igarashi.
The book was banned in India as hate speech directed toward Muslims.

Yeah. He wrote a terrible book 30 some odd years, The Satanic Verses, that the muslims deemed so blasphemous that he had to be killed. It was big news when it happened because they all pitched a fit about it. Most people had forgotten about him, but I guess murderous muzzies have long memories.
Satanic verses wasn’t very good but he’s been one of the most critically acclaimed authors in the world for the last 30 years for good reaSon. The Moors Last Sigh and Midnights children are two of the best books of the last 100 years. You make it sound like he was a hack who had 15 minutes of fame.

There’s no inconsistency there. He’s been writing for 30ish years, but his work is in the top tier of modern fiction (so going back to say, the early 20th century).

No, I didn't mean anymore than what I said really. I wasn't intending to insinuate he was "hack." I know he was considered a generally respected writer, although The Satanic Verses was the only book of his I ever tried to read.

You should watch season 9 of Curb your Enthusiasm with the overarching plot line about the Fatwa

That’s fair, sorry if misconstrued. I agree it wasn’t a very good book. Back to discussing his hot wife!

Last I heard governor said he was alive. Dr. on scene said he was stabbed in the neck had a pulse at the time. But it looks like the initial reports suggesting it wasn't that serious were off base.

Her nude modeling portfolio is divine. Truly a beauty. Never knew she and Rushdie were married.

I guess the “community safety officer” (yellow shirt) is new on the job.
