  • Salman Rushdie

    From TE@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 15 18:11:03 2022
    Yesterday: Brave hero to the Arts and Letters class.

    Today: He offended some Muslims. Fuck'im.

    How long before the Charlie Hebdo massacre will be considered a brave act of defiance by oppressed people against white supremacy?

    Mostly because of the deafening silence.

    "Rushdie’s silly, childish book should be banned under today’s anti-hate legislation.
    It’s no better than racist graffiti on a bus stop. I wouldn’t have it in my house, out of
    respect to Muslim people and contempt for Rushdie, and because it sounds quite boring. I’d be quite inclined to burn it, in fact. It’s a free country, after all."

    BTW: JK Rowling, who has voiced support for him, is also under a Fatawa from the Trans community. Once again...she deserves it.

    Tom drags up an article from three years ago to try to make a point about reaction to last week’s stabbing.

    Yes Tom it’s true that people didn’t stay on full boil about Khomeni’s fatwa for 30 years nonstop. No one does on any issue. The world deeply apologizes for this offense to your retroactive sensibilities.

    And also yes some people tried to score cheap intellectual points by
    claiming it sucked as a book. One of the people who did that was right wing culture war hero Boris Johnson, but for some reason his posturing didn’t outrage Tom like this does.
