Everyone is suddenly an advocate for the freedom of speech after the Rushdie attack, but actually what Nasser Kanaani says here is exactly what the Western media says whenever people in the West are attacked for speaking honestly about the jihad and Sharia: he had it coming, he needlessly provoked the poor dears.
“‘Rushdie insulted Islam’: Justifying attack, Iran faults writer for his own stabbing,” Times of Israel, August 15, 2022:
TEHRAN — An Iranian government official denied on Monday that Tehran was involved in the assault on author Salman Rushdie, while also blaming him for his own assault, in the country’s first public comments on the attack.
Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman of Iran’s Foreign Ministry, made the remarks in a briefing to journalists.
“We categorically deny” any link with the attack, Kanaani said. “No one has the right to accuse the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Speaking at his weekly press conference in Tehran, he added: “In this attack, we do not consider anyone other than Salman Rushdie and his supporters worthy of blame and even condemnation.
“By insulting the sacred matters of Islam and crossing the red lines of more than one and a half billion Muslims and all followers of the divine religions, Salman Rushdie has exposed himself to the anger and rage of the people.”

For once, an Iranian spokesman has come close to telling the truth about the Islamic blasphemy law, but then he digresses into victim-blaming language: “we do not consider anyone other than Salman Rushdie and his supporters worthy of blame and even condemnation.”
You see, the supporters of Islam’s VIGILANTE PROVISION in Sharia law are correct and SHARIA LAW blasphemy law is applied TO EVERYONE ON THE PLANET and MUSLIM VIGILANTES are the ENFORCERS of Sharia law.
Did you get that? He implies that Sharia law applies to ALL NON-MUSLIMS and that if they do not submit to Sharia, then MUSLIM VIGILANTES will attack them.
The point of his words is that ALL NON-MUSLIM KAFIRS should submit to Islamic law.
Muslim vigilantes are Allah’s executioners.
-“The dhimmi is obliged not to mention Allah or His Apostle…dhimmis must hold their tongue…. (From the Wagjiz, written in 1101 A.D. by al-Ghazali)
Sharia permits anyone to kill those who verbally oppose Islam, since they are ‘at war’ with Islam:
“There is no indemnity obligatory for KILLING a non-Muslim (harbi) AT WAR with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593
“We have already discussed KILLING the person who, with intent, curses the Prophet, belittles him or slights him in any way. The judgement in this case is clear.” (i.e. DEATH) – Qadhi Iyaadh in ash-Shifa, Volume No.2, Page No. 27
– “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sometimes chose to forgive those who had insulted him, and sometimes he ordered that they should be executed, if that served a greater purpose. But NOW HIS FORGIVENESS IS IMPOSSIBLE because he is dead, so the EXECUTION of the one who INSULTS him remains the right of Allaah, His Messenger and the believers, and the one who deserves to be executed cannot be let off, so the punishment MUST be carried out.” – Al-Saarim al-Maslool, 2/438

Which means what?
We should kill all muslims because of the warped koran?
If anything has annihilation deservedly coming it’s islam and marxism for their threats to freedom.
Yet that’s not done as not every individual identifying under those umbrellas agrees with the radical beliefs
Without mutual respect however the only protection we have against these radicals is the ability to kill before being subjugated and being killed.
Violence is all they respect.

When it comes to Islam, anger and rage are always there and people need to be aware of that and protect themselves from it all. It’s the same way a woman needs to cover herself to avoid being raped and if she does not, it is her fault if she gets herself raped by an angry and enraged Muslim man. Infidels too need to cover themselves by doing what Muslims want them to do and if they don’t, it’s their fault if an enraged and angry Muslim sticks a knife in their neck. Anger and rage radiate from Islam like heat from a burning piece of garbage. The stench from it is even worse, but yeah, it’s your own fault for breathing it. Islam is a hot, stinking piece of garbage and this man has been walking through it so long that his pants are on fire. Try to help him out of the flames and he will blame you for even noticing he needs help and in his anger and rage he will feel justified in sticking a knife in your neck.

So true.

Aside from Iran and Pakistan, who supported this attack, I wonder what other muslim countries have been saying about it. They seem to have been remarkably silent
gravenimage says
Good point, Infidel. I’ve heard European and other Western nations and Israel condemn the attack; but nothing from Muslim nations except those who have cheered.
gravenimage says
Iran says Rushdie and his supporters are the only ones to blame for attack, because he insulted Islam
………………………………
Appalling–but all too many in the West agree.
And will this from Iran give Biden pause? Don’t count on it…

In February 1989 the Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa calling for the assassination of Salman Rushdi for the publication of his book The Satanic Verses. Yet just four months later it was the Ayatollah who ended up dying. It appears the fatwa boomeranged back onto him. Yet Rushie has spent the last 33 years living an eventful and fruitful life including two marriages, world wide travel, many literary awards and a knighthood. It is heartening that he is recovering from his recent assassination attempt. Roll on freedom of speech!

Since when has it ever been possible to “insult” the ideology of Islam?
