The Editorial Board writes: The attack Friday on Salman Rushdie was an act of violent cowardice. We must stand together against these assaults.
Police establish a perimeter around the Chautauqua Institution after author Salman Rushdie was attacked, in Chautauqua, N.Y. on Aug. 12, 2022. Rushdie, who spent years in hiding and under police protection after Iranian officials called for his execution, was attacked and stabbed in the neck while onstage, the state police said.
New York’s Chautauqua Institution describes itself as “a community of artists, educators, thinkers, faith leaders and friends dedicated to exploring the best in humanity.” On Friday morning, the worst in humanity came calling on Chautauqua, New York, when an assailant rushed the stage and attacked the great author Salman Rushdie, stabbing him several times, it appeared, in the neck. It was immediately apparent that his injuries were grievous.
We abhor all of them. Whatever our political or religious beliefs, we must stand together against them.In “The Satanic Verses,” Rushdie wrote of the poet’s work: “to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.”
