He is on a ventilator ,his life hanging on the balance.

He has been living with a death threat from the Ayatollah Khomeni since he wrote 'The Satanic Verses ' 1989 . It was probably safe to assume someone would one day get to him.
I hope and pray he survives .

What is notable in this is where he was attacked. It happened in NY at the Chautauqua Christian Fellowship where he was to make an address.

What you need to know about the institute is that the institute drifted from it's original Methodist roots to radical left . This was true especially during the reign of Rev. Joan Brown Campbell at the beginning of this century .

Campbell before she became director mediated between Fidel Castro and Bubba Clintoon ,to kidnap at gun point ,Elian Gonzalez to return him to Cuba.

When she became director of the Institute she set a course of radicalizing the institution.She set out to purge conservatives ;and to welcome radical Muslims .She invited Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to lay the groundwork for a Muslim cultural center You may remember him;the slum lord from NJ over the controversy over the 9-11 Mosque.He accused U.S. “an accessory to the crime” of September 11 and demanded that President George W. Bush give an “America Culpa” to acknowledge the harm America had done to the Islamic world.

When the FBI went woke he was invited to give sensitivity training to agents .

Campell invited him in to lay the foundation for a Muslim Center at the institute.

Rushdi in his previous addresses to the institute had walked a fine line of deliberately not saying anything that could be perceived as offensive to Muslims . That protected him from the wrath of the heirs of Campbell . Unfortunately it did not protect him from the Ayatollah's fatwa .

The name of the attacker is Hadi Matar which sounds alot like Mahdi Hatter . He was born in the US to Lebanese parents . The fatwah and the death of the Ayatollah happened before he was born.

But examination of his social media reveals he is sympathetic to radical Shia jihadistan and the IRGC .On his cell phone was a picture of Qasem Soleimani, the former head of the Quds Force ,who assumed the consistency of pink mist after Trump ordered him droned in Baghdad.

Matar flew under the radar because he was not a parent questioning school curriculum .
