Interesting to see no condemnation from the left on this attack…

Who are "the left" in this context?

Was referring to the Corbynista’s on here, we still have a few.

Tbf there's not been many posts full stop on this and I don't know about anyone else but I thought the best response to this attack was to order a copy of his book

Re: Salman Rushdie is attacked
 

Nobody has condemned it on here at all.

Re: Salman Rushdie is attacked
 

To be fair, although I cannot stand Corbyn personally, I believe he has condemned this outrage. I think he did this before Starmer which is no real achievement.

Re: Salman Rushdie is attacked
 

Until now, I condemn it. Along with other forms of brutal unjust attacks.

If he makes it through, he’s lost an eye according to news reports.

I guess this goes to show a FATWA has no expiry date

Horrid thing to have happen to him and those who had to experience it

Re: Salman Rushdie is attacked
 

The security will be in question. He has had this against him for decades and i think it just sort of went away but clearly the risk was always still there.

It’s an Islamist attack and should be condemned. Political Islamists and fanatical/fundamental Islamists should be condemned as far right wing nut jobs, which they are. There is no place for them in any society.

The left worry though because, in the West, Muslims are an ethnic minority. Therefore making them an oppressed group by the evil white male tyrannical patriarchy and not able to have their own agency, they must be a subjugated minority for it to stack up in the lefts mentality.

Therefore, when they rape, murder, oppress and mutilate in the name of their religion with impunity, the western left have no answer to this and it scares them. So they shut up and left it happen and complain about other stuff white people do.

Re: Salman Rushdie is attacked
 

An interesting qualification. Surely all attacks should be condemned?

Or can white people (or states) carry out attacks that aren’t worthy of condemnation?

Re: Salman Rushdie is attacked
 

I thought I condemned it by buying his book, tbh though does it need condemning, on what planet is this sort of thing ever justified, it's so heinous does it really need people voicing disapproval to clarify that

What cobblers

A statement of fact, any other baggage you attach to it is yours alone, do you disagree with any other of my post?

Well at least you call it as you see it, JFman could learn from you.

It’s not cobblers though is it?

Rotherham, Rochdale, Halifax, Telford, Huddersfield……………

Batley Grammar School, Bradford Cinema ……….

I would say they affirm my point.

Who hasn't condemned it? This only happened yesterday and not everyone needs to take to Twitter/Facebook to offer their own personal condemnation. I think you can assume most people condemn attempted murder unless they express otherwise. This vanity that people think the world needs their own personal statement to be added to the record is weird. As is the scorekeeping on how quickly someone can condemn it. This isn't a competition.
