Dragging this thread kicking and screaming back to the original topic, which is Salman Rushdie…

Here’s an article on the fatwa issued in the 1980s by the ayatollah cockamamie: How Iran exploited Rushdie's Satanic Verses - CNN

Another on the recent increase in the banning of books in the U.S.: Opinion: Salman Rushdie has risked his life for decades; US must stand up against censorship, too - CNN

From the article: The murderous 1989 decree over Rushdie’s satirical novel The Satanic Verses could not be officially revoked because the source of the fatwa — Iran’s first Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini — was dead. At least that’s what Rushdie was told

Oh that makes sense. The batshittery is breathtaking.
