Rushdie joked that it was 'nice to be back - as opposed to not being back, which was also an option'. The author, whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was stabbed in the neck and torso in August 2022 as he was about to give a lecture in western New York.

I am so glad he is still with us, and his levels of humility and gratitude are rare in the land of "me me me".
indeed
What a kind, gentle, and thoughtful man. I'm so glad he's still with us.
The people who want to hurt him are cowards. Salman Rushie is a brave man and he did nothing wrong.
@@yahyabestwishes8118but the people whom hate him are in theory hipocritical af
@@yahyabestwishes8118except he’s writing fiction stories with criticisms of religion, that which extremely religious people cannot handle. Religion, as with everything, must not be immune from criticism and questioning.
@@yahyabestwishes8118Islam deserve to be insulted 😂
@@yahyabestwishes8118 Have you read the book? If not, you don't need to speak and you certainly don't need to make a fool of yourself.
@@yahyabestwishes8118 so if someone insult the faith of freedom, universal value and human dignity must be stabbed too ? Because apparently that’s your case …
The attack seems to have mostly just made Rushdie look kinda badass. The half-blacked out glasses are genuinely cool looking, like a bond villain or something lol
It is devastating that such a graceful and thoughtful man is targeted by these animals.
blasphemous words create animals. if freedom of speech is the gold standard, then why does antisemitism exist?
I'm so glad cruelty failed.
Protect this man.
Not a writer only, he is a great human being in humor and thought. Fairness in thought, fairness in intention, fairness in action, fairness can save us as a species and make us the best we can become.
His bravery is a reminder that we must keep up the fight against all who would harm others in the name of any so called religion
Define religion

Aaaaa
@@orcashorts5813 no need to define religion, we already know which peaceful community is responsible 😂😂
May you live in peace Salman !!! No one should go through what you went through and still are going through for writing words !!!!
Problem is he’s not lived in peace, from what I’ve read he’s.a had a very troublesome life since writing his works.

What a trooper this man is so inspiring. so humble after decades of hate, but after this attack in question, his attitude is so inspiring.
Thank you Salman Rushdie. A victory for freedoms of thought and expression. Our respects......
Yes, every one has right to express freely however not freedom to disrespect anyone.
@@umarrafiq6113 Religion is manmade and only terrorists use violence to defend it.
You actually do have freedom to disrespect anyone. The issue is that some cannot handle disrespect and resort to violence.
@@umarrafiq6113sorry but you was taught wrongly.
@@EricNoneless those who are misled would see others as well. It is okay if are one among those misleading ones.
A lot of evil people in the comments supporting the attack.
Im so glad he lived
This is a brave man!
A great writer, a thinker and a great proponent of democracy and Freedom
A true hero. An example of bravery and freedom. ❤❤
His humility highlights the hypocrisy of radicalism.
Thank you sir for continuing to speak truth.

Enjoyed his latest novel Victory City. You can't silence imagination.
Yes!!! What a fighter!! Welcome back!
Great to have you back in public! Keep going!!
Salman Rushdie 💪💪💪alles liebe aus Deutschland.
You are a hero to many of my generation 🫶🌞
Hero nennst du einen Satanisten. Hast du überhaupt recherchiert wofür er brennt?😅
@@kdjdbskddkkd277 Und Sie sind vollkommen verblödet.
I salute this brave and courageous big heart ❤️ appreciate you for your creative talent . Thanks 👍
That was one of the most horrific attacks I’ve seen in my entire life.
wow all because of a book he wrote over a million years ago the poor man is maimed for the rest of his life, and the kid that stabbed him was not even born geez
thanks to all brave american who saved this brave author
And don't forget the sneak attack by a coward with a knife on behalf of other cowards afraid of words.
A reminder for those who call themselves humans: books should be read, not burnt.
Found this video after I realized I hadn't seen any footage of him from after the attack, and was curious to see how he was doing. Nice to see him doing well, minus the eye.
his book is a bit brutal haha but if salman is so wrong in his views then debate him. kilking is pointless and just proves you wrong for being so mindless with your particular brand of nonsense.
The cowards will never win
Salman is a great man.
I hope reason eventually triumphs over the backward ideologies which threaten human civilization.
full video link?
Somehow, we seem to have immediately forgotten about this, en masse.
How come?
Glad he is ok. Wish him the best.
True hero 👏💯
His a true hero.
Brave human
He is bravery personified.
This man is such an inspiration to me
No Salman. You are a powerhouse and legend.
Love all time win we love salman sir from India
Brave man! Great words!!

My hero Salman R ❤🎉

please be careful and alert to threats from followers of satanic verses. I think they are dissatisfied and want to stab this man one more time. see their comments.

Absolutely
Oh thank you

Secret is these Knights are very common people and pose the most threat to the institutions. Their families are common.. if you include this in the theatr if operations they account for 80%
What are you talking about?
Please, what happened to his assailant? Where is he now?
Goggle it..
Awaiting trail
Brave love!*****
Salman sahab! 🫡
He is
Appalling to see, he looks terrible; condemned for decades and butchered on stage for a book.
Hero ❤
An inherently violent and dangerous religion.
Okay.
Love you more than then trillion times, 👑💐🌹🍻👍

Brave men
Great to see you speaking again Salman. You are an inspiration to all thinking people.
🙏
Haha, sb ko marengy bhenchod chun chun k 😂
I'm surprised the Guardian covered this as they usually keep quiet about events in U.K. for fear of offending....
Its pretty true though unfortunately. Guardian are very left wing and avoid anything that might be 'hate' related/criticsm of minorities etc.
Drivel, Zig. Lovely how you didn't have the guts to address the assailant's motives or the politics behind that, choosing instead to take a cheap shot for your own (rather obvious) right-leaning agenda. Pretty pathetic.
@@yosserc…it’s not a hate-filled comment. It’s true.
I know right
@@drewcampbell8555Wokism is on which wing?
Create 230 new SMART religions
In light of recent events, what has happened to Rushdie needs more attention brought on it.
Long live a wonderful person
If you need a close protection find me.
He looks like a priest
He got aloha snackbarred.

Why is he dressed like a Priest???
It’s India’s type suiting..

I wish the best to the great writer and I hope he writes more books as "blasphemous" as Satanic Verses. Civilization must under no circumstances submit to terrorism, fanaticism and barbarity.
