Salman Rushdie

I am sickened by the assault on Salmon Rushdie. So sick of religio-fascism

The scary part, is that it is state-sponsored, and as late as 2019, the Ayatollahs ruling Iran, affirmed that the death sentence, imposed on Rushdi by Khomeini, remains in effect and cannot be rescinded.

He is a marked man, for the rest of his life.

At one point, I thought moderates are certain to win in Iran, but Trump's canceling of our agreements with Iran, sent Iran in the opposite direction, with those who are capable of changing things, emigrating in massive numbers, leaving the Ayatollahs in charge, with very little chance of reversing course.

Ironically, Trump was driven by the US own "Christian" equivalent.
