<p>Matar is due to appear in court again tomorrow, when hundreds of writers will gather in New York to read from Rushdie’s works in an act of defiance against the fatwa.</p>
<p>Yes but:</p>
<ol>
<li>They will not read from the Satanic Verses, which caused the fatwa</li>
<li>They will not protest outside the Iranian embassy, and Iran issued the fatwa, and never retracted it. </li>

<p>From the Free Speech Union:</p>
<p>"The suspect charged with stabbing Sir Salman Rushdie said yesterday that he believes the Iranian leader who called for his assassination was a “great man”. (Times, 18th August).</p>
<p>Hadi Matar, 24, said that he had “read a couple pages” of The Satanic Verses and thought Rushdie was “someone who attacked Islam”.</p>
<p>Matar, who has denied attempted murder and assault, spoke for the first time since the attack, in an interview with the New York Post from the Chautauqua County Jail.</p>
<p>In 1989, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran’s supreme leader, issued a fatwa calling for Rushdie’s death. Khomeini died later that year. “I respect the ayatollah. I think he’s a great person,” Matar said.</p>
<p>When asked about Rushdie, he said: “I don’t like him very much.” He added: “He’s someone who attacked Islam, he attacked their beliefs, the belief systems.”</p>
<p>Matar is due to appear in court again tomorrow, when hundreds of writers will gather in New York to read from Rushdie’s works in an act of defiance against the fatwa. The event is a re-creation of a similar public reading of Rushdie’s books that was held a few days after the order to kill him was issued by Khomeini.</p>

<p>Salman Rushdie was sloppy with his own security. Even we know that Islam never sleeps, it only pauses in its work of jihad/terror. What was he thinking?! I hope he recovers fully soon; and other writers take courage.</p>

<p>You know in many countries forenames are regulated? Well I think regulation should also apply to surnames, and names that advocate killing people, like Jihad and Matar, should be banned. We Westerners are so sloppy.</p>

<p>"No motive or charges have yet been confirmed by police"</p>
<p>Yes, it's a complete mystery. After all, what with with Islam being a religion of peace and all, it can't possibly be to do with a book he wrote. </p>
