It remains unclear why Rushdie's attacker, identified by police as Hadi Matar of Fairview, New Jersey, stabbed the author as he prepared to speak at an event Friday in western New York. Iran's theocratic government and its state-run media have assigned no motive to the assault.
“I feel those who did it are trying to isolate Iran," said Mahshid Barati, a 39-year-old geography teacher. “This will negatively affect relations with many — even Russia and China.” Early on Saturday, Iranian state media made a point to note one man identified as being killed while trying to carry out the fatwa. Lebanese national Mustafa Mahmoud Mazeh died when a book bomb he had prematurely exploded in a London hotel on Aug. 3, 1989, just over 33 years ago.
The foundation, whose name refers to the 1963 protests against Iran's former shah by Khomeini's supporters, typically focuses on providing aid to the disabled and others affected by war. But it, like other foundations known as “bonyads” in Iran funded in part by confiscated assets from the shah's time, often serve the political interests of the country's hard-liners.

Only faith where the believers still believe. Call it what you want but all you other religions are docile. You don’t stand for anything so you fall for everything.
Any faiths that instruct followers to hunt down and kill people of different faiths ,need to be stopped
Much like North America
Islam. The religion of peace.
