[S]everal hardline Iranian newspapers poured praise on Matar [Rushdie's assailant] on Saturday, including the conservative Kayhan newspaper, whose editor-in-chief is appointed by [Ayatollah] Khamenei."A thousand bravos, a hundred God blesses. His hand must be kissed... Bravo to the warrior and dutiful man who attacked the Apostate and wicked Salman Rushdie. The hand of the warrior must be kissed. He tore the vein of Rushdie's neck," the paper said.Another hardline newspaper, Khorasan, published a headline, "The Devil on the Path to Hell" while showing a picture of Rushdie on a stretcher.
Time to remember the Revolutionary Association of Women of Aghanistan: "Fundamentalism is the mortal enemy of all civilized humanity."
