We can have dinner with Salman Rushdie and not murder him.

Judging by the arterial spray in the photo it does not look good for Salman.

I shouldn't be but am surprised that someone would still attempt to kill him. This ridiculous grudge is almost, or possibly, older than I am.

The weird thing about him is that right after the Fatwa he went on "tour" with U2 and would be trotted out on stage before the days when we had metal detectors at concerts and he on Bono would high five each other, then a stage light in the shape of a Trabant would follow him off stage.
As I wrote nearly 10 years ago, a Flagger who is still around but never posts and is not RYP had dinner with him and a bunch of other people and said he was about the most intelligent and witty guy he had ever met.
That, and now surviving a Fatwa attack, is how you get women when you are older (and being rich helps)
Salman Rushdie’s “road to recovery has begun” but “will be long” after his stabbing in western New York late last week, the novelist’s agent has said.
“The injuries are severe,” the agent, Andrew Wylie, said Sunday in an email to the Guardian, alluding to stab wounds that the author suffered to his neck, stomach, eye, chest and thigh two days earlier. “But his condition is headed in the right direction.”
The Indian-born British novelist remained hospitalised Sunday in critical condition, but he had been removed from a ventilator, which allowed him to talk and demonstrate that “his usual feisty and defiant sense of humour remains intact,” his son Zafar said in a separate statement.
Nonetheless, Zafar Rushdie added that his father’s wounds are “life changing”.
...
Matar allegedly rushed on stage and stabbed Rushdie repeatedly before being tackled by spectators, institution staffers and two local law enforcement officers providing security. Meanwhile, a helicopter crew flew Rushdie to a hospital in nearby Erie, Pennsylvania.
“We are so grateful to all the audience members who bravely leapt to his defence and administrated first aid along with the police and doctors who have cared for him,” Zafar Rushdie’s statement added.
The elder Rushdie had 10 knife injuries: three stab wounds to the right front of his neck, another four to his stomach, one each to his right eye and chest and a cut to his right thigh. He emerged with a damaged liver and severed nerves in an arm and an eye, Wylie said on Friday evening. He was likely to lose the injured eye.
