Like everyone outside of a few fanatics, I was shocked and angered by the attack on Salman Rushdie on Friday.
I didn’t want to say anything about it until it was clear whether or not he would survive the attack. The initial reports were grim, with Rushide being on ventilator, not able to speak, losing an eye, and suffering damage to his liver. On Saturday night, though, news came that Rushdie is now off the ventilator and he is now able to speak. Hopefully, this is a sign that Rushdie will recover from the attack.
