    BBC Rushdie Interview…Deja Vu! 


    After another Morticia sighting this morning..

    ..( chatting about the Trump trial with a Guardian reporter – does BBC EVER have guest journos from the Washington Times, or NY Post?)

    .

    ….UK’s tax-funded propaganda broadcaster had something useful to watch…

    Rushdie in 2014

    Rushdie

    ….an interview with Salman Rushdie, with whom I don’t always agree, but who often talks sense, e.g. on wokoid censorship.

    .“Roald Dahl was no angel but this is absurd censorship,’’ Rushdie wrote on Twitter. “Puffin Books and the Dahl estate should be ashamed.’’ https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/critics-

    Despite Yentob being the interviewer…

      ….it was a rivetting half hour or so, live footage of that shocking attack…

    ( by a louse named Hadi Matar  – from New Jersey!?!)

    NB Please note too this rabid swine.

    Iranian-American political analyst Mohammad Marandi, a member of Iran’s nuclear negotiations team, wrote: “I won’t be shedding tears for a writer who spouts endless hatred & contempt for Muslims & Islam.”[62]

    but it was the flash-backs to the 1980s, when the satanic old beast in Tehran pronounced his foul ‘fatwa. ‘

    .

    ..

    We saw hordes of primitive savages marching through city streets, holding up mock gallows, and banners..

    ‘Rushdie, You are DEAD!’

    ….just what you might expect of a Middle East sectarian swarm, faces contorted in maniacal hate.

    But the streets looked familiar and  the signs were mostly in English – and then?

    8 Fascinating Facts about Big Ben in London

    0000

    .

    There was Big Ben.

    London.

    .

    .

    Britain’s capital city, infested with barbaric beasts flaunting their alien infamy.

    If only the UK government then had corralled and deported them….

    .

    …the noisome din heard during today’s London Hamas-fan demos might be a lot less insufferably loud.

    Meer Asif Asiz? Irani? Or Tranny? 


    That’s a question we need to ask in connection with the pusillanimous Twitter user who threatened JK Rowling…

    Rowling at the White House in 2010

    JK Rowling

    …after she, quite rightly, showed concern for the sorely wounded Rushdie.

    Don’t worry you are next….

    https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/aug/14/police-investigate-threat-jk-rowling-salman-rushdie

    …was the message from a creep called ‘Meer Asif Asiz!’

    Since the slug charged with the attempted murder of The Satanic Verses author…

    Cancel Culture Puts Rushdie In ICU

    …is allegedly a fan of the Ayatollahs’ SS, aka the ‘Revolutionary Guards,’ one might assume the threat emanates from a sectarian source.

    Or not.

    JK Rowling has not said much to irk Islamist fanatics – no more than most normal folks say about them, at least.

    But we DO know what kind of sicko freaks she HAS upset!

    Defy The Fury Of The Freaks! Buy J K Rowling’s New Book!

     Freaks Amok! JKR’s Truth Targetted! 

    So we know that this is only the latest in a series of threats

    Police are involved (were already involved on other threats),” JKR told those worried for her safety.

    So…was ‘Meer Asif Asiz’ just another typical Twitter whack-job….

    .

    .

    …or a cheer-leader for the tyranny in Tehran…

    ..

    …or a nasty sexual maladjust?

      Not just threats to innocnt people, either. Both lots are, a threat to our way of life and I’m not sure which is worse.

    Rushdie Attack – Who Is Hadi Matar? 


    Don’t jump to conclusions about the man arrested.

    It may be that Rushdie was stabbed by the same kind of sectarian pig-ignoramus we have seen elsewhere…

    Brutal Paris Beheader A ‘Hero,’ Says Jakarta Fanatic! 

    …like the swine who murdered the innocent Paris teacher.

    Or the assailant may simply be a non-ideological, deranged psycho…

    .

    ….unlike the evil old fiend Khomeini who coldly and calculatedly lit the fire that flared in New York last night.

    There is a slight difference.

    Truth will out soon enough.

    Cancel Culture Puts Rushdie In ICU 


    About 10 years ago, I wrote that….

    ————————————-
     
     Rushdie
    ———————————————————–
    ….Rushdie has never hurt a fly, but is himself the target of a satanic murder plot instigated by the demented old swine then in charge of Iran, who issued a fatwa demanding he be killed.

    Now we wake up this morning to learn that the elderly writer has been brutally attacked by an as yet unidentified savage…

    .

    ..

    …who has thus exemplified what it’s become fashionable to call ‘cancel culture.’

    I was never a big fan of Rushdie but this assault is an outrage, yet another attack on freedom…

    .

    Ignorant savages who hate democracy

    ..

    …of which we’ve seen too many.

    Hard to believe it’s necessary to say this  but..

    .

    .

    If people don’t like what somebody writes about religion, or politics, the remedy is to write back.

    All this babbling about ‘blasphemy,’ as an excuse for violence?

    Time the babblers grow up.

    Tommy Book Ban? Remember When We Were Shocked By The Rushdie Affair? 


    ayatollah_ruhollah_khomeini-425px-004

    Remember when that ignorant old savage in Tehran pronounced a ‘death sentence’ on Salman Rushdie, what, thirty five years ago, for no other reason than that the man had written a book the old bigot didn’t like?

    We were all horrified.

    We found it incredible that writing a book, publishing a book, about anything, could by any standards by deemed an outlaw activity.

    =

    marx

    After all, we can buy Marx’s Das Kapital in most big bookshops, and his works bore, still bear, responsibility for more evil in the world than any other ‘intellectual’ enterprise.

    Yet now we have Amazon, which carries both Rushdie’s and Marx’s books, and Mein Kampf, BTW, refusing to sell copies of Tommy Robinson’s book.

    AND the arrogant little pillocks who serve as Amazon censors won’t even tell us WHY!

    ==========

    I’ve used Amazon in the past.

    But I detest book-burners, book-ban bigots, whether here in Indonesia…

    …or anywhere!

    Anyone who has written a book that is critical of anything should read the writing on the wall and realize that once this censorship begins, it won’t end with Tommy Robinson or Qur’an-critical booksRead more »

    Now for the fight-back! A boycott to begin with?

    Or…

    When will pro-free-speech supporters start a petition to get the book on sale again?!?

      It won’t be long till Amazon start to ‘feel the heat,’ as our American friends like to say. Their intolerance is not tolerable.
      It’s infuriating how some members of one particular religion arrogantly think they are above criticism.
      Having read about what Islamic fanatics do in Indonesia, I can’t say I am at all surprised if they want to suppress British people’s liberties, but for Amazon to go along with them like this is something that won’t quickly be forgiven.

      Fiona, it is time we stood up to them. We are fed up of their arrogant attitudes.
      ‘We must never offend them.’
      ‘We mustnt complain if they take time off while we have to work on through if the shops busy.’
      ‘We hsve to change school menus that our kids like just because they dont eat bacon.’
      Now we can only buy books that dont upset their intolerant little minds?
      Then we get called phobes because we dont like being pushed around by people who dont want to fit in.
      They are the pushiest people in the world. We have to take a stand.

      I hope a petition and lots of other protests will be organised and I will do what I can to help.
      This is very wrong.
      What kind of people run Amazon?
      Not British, not in any real sense, if they take the side of the ‘always-offended.’
