'You are next': JK Rowling receives death threat after supporting stabbed author Salman Rushdie

The Harry Potter author, 57, shared screenshots to Twitter of a message from a user who had written "don't worry you are next" in response to her tweeting that she felt "very sick" after hearing the news and hoped the novelist would "be OK".

The famous author has previously been on the receiving end of death threats for her views on transgender rights. The Indian-born British author, 75, whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was to deliver a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution when the incident occurred, leaving him with an apparent stab wound to the neck.

On Friday, New York state police named the suspected attacker as Hadi Matar, 24, of Fairview, New Jersey, who was taken into custody following the incident.Police identify suspect after Salman Rushdie stabbed in the neck and abdomen while on stage at New York event

Islam is evil!

Religion of peace

Of course she has. The enemies of free speech are growing in confidence and taking action. And to think it all began with poor little old Political Correctness.

The city mayor’s silence is deafening.

Trace the threat and if necessary deport the vile creature

What? Damn it we must all stand up and defend Rushdie. Brilliant writer. A speaker of truths. I for one - yes little me in Twickenham - defend the right of free speech. JK is right. Who else in this miserable little right leaning state stands for freedom to speak & write?

Another thing for Labour MP's to keep quite about, a really nasty bunch.

see what kind of people want to quash free speech?, and the right to have a different opinion? free speech is NOT THE PROBLEM, THE LACK OF FREE SPEECH IS!!!

All this hate will be the end of us .

Oh for the love of God.

She should be arrested for aiding and supporting a slanderer, a criminal of religion hatred

Such wickedness amongst some groups!! Those people cannot, simply cannot kill all of us!!

Jihadi scum..country's full of em..they hate us all..too late now tbh

Eff the Islamists. Time to bring back Draw Mohammed Day on Twitter.

Hope she reported it

What a surprise. These are the same people telling others to 'be kind'. Gender ideologs have hatred in their heart for anybody who disagrees with their dogmatic, illogical and dangerous worldview. They are part of a fanatical cult.

Truly vile.

Should be able to track the account and prosecute?

Utterly despicable

Death threat from a little tosser no doubt

Newspaper headlines: Sir Salman stabbed and drought 'will shrink crops'The attack on author Salman Rushdie in New York and fears that a lack of water will harm UK harvests lead the papers. You HOPE 'the drought ends in autumn'. (you can get dry autumn/winters too) This years harvest barely made it because we used bore-hole aquifers. They will need to be replenished if you want to rely on it next year. Why do I get the impression the BBC is cracking out the Champagne over this attack by one of its religious masters. The genuine opponents are multiplying in both numbers and ideologies while you continue to make up foes that don't exist in Russia. The demographics will be different when you wake up, and the change will be permanent.
