“Love is a force – and when it’s unleashed, it can actually have a powerful effect in the real world.”

After surviving a horrific assassination attempt, Salman Rushdie writes not just about death, but about life and love in his new memoir Knife. I spoke with him about it.

Why aren’t liberals saying ‘Je suis Salman’? Rushdie was brutally stabbed two years ago for the ‘crime’ of writing a novel. Yet so many in the cultural elite seem to think he had it coming. They have abandoned free speech, writes Tim Black

“27 seconds when somebody has a knife and is attacking you is a really long time. So we had this long moment of lethal intimacy.”

Salman Rushdie says he “cannot draw a line under this event” until his attacker has been sentenced.

Knife by Salman Rushdie is a true miracle. Yes, it describes in painful detail the horror of what happened, but it’s also a mediation on happiness and love. Surviving the attack took strength, but this kind of writing takes wisdom.

You need to be illiterate to be muzi because MoMo their idol was illiterate, muzi don’t read(Quarter of a page a year). Salman Rushdie was stabbed with a knife like the bishop in Sydney because he wrote a book called satanic verses.

'Le respect de la religion est devenu un mot de passe signifiant la peur de la religion. Les religions, comme toutes les autres idées, méritent la critique, la satire et même notre irrévérence intrépide'. Salman Rushdie

while the 70s and 80s had already set the stage, it was the Rushdie fatwa that lit the spark.

Salman Rushdie was sentenced to death by the ayatollah’s fatwa. But his abandonment by the liberal elite cut him even deeper. Too many Westerners sided with his Islamist tormentors. His new book, “Knife”, is a reckoning with this betrayal, says Tim Black
