Salman Rushdie Lost Sight in One Eye, Use of Hand After Stabbing by Islamic Extremist Devout Moslem

Author Salman Rushdie has lost the ability to see through one eye as well as the use of one hand after recovering from a stabbing attack by an Islamic extremist.
In August, 24-year-old New Jersey resident Hadi Matar rushed the stage as Rushdie prepared to give a scheduled speech at the Chautauqua Institution, stabbing him in the neck and hospitalizing him. According to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, Rushdie took three wounds to the neck and another 15 to his chest and torso.
He was killed by an Islamist terrorist – not by trolls on Twitter.
David Amess was killed by an Islamist terrorist. Why is our political class incapable of saying so? MPs would rather talk about online trolling than the actual threats we face. Their cowardice is shameful, says Fraser Myers
Saturday marked a year since David Amess, the then Conservative MP for Southend West, was stabbed 21 times during a constituency surgery. He died at the scene. His killer has since been tried and convicted and will spend the rest of his days in prison. The motive for this brutal assault on a servant of democracy is not in any doubt. The killer was driven by the same hateful ideology that has taken the lives of nearly 100 people in the UK over the past two decades – making it, by several orders of magnitude, the deadliest terrorist threat we currently face.
That threat, of course, is Islamism. Ali Harbi Ali, the terrorist who murdered Amess, has been a fanatical devotee of Islamic State since 2015. He initially wanted to travel abroad to fight with IS, before deciding to commit an act of terror at home. He had hoped to die as a ‘martyr’. In April, he was found guilty of murder and preparing acts of terrorism.
Yet, on the grim anniversary of Amess’s murder, just like in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, no one in the political class is prepared to talk about the Islamist threat. Worse, there is a concerted effort to blame almost anything but Islamism for Amess’s death. Continue reading The Islamic Terror We Ignore
