How fucked is he? Is he even a good novelist?

lmao
He's not fucked at all. Salmon patty's got British service men protecting him in perpetuity.
Prophet's hair was really enjoyable, but still pomo as hell.
yes he's a good novelist
it's pretty shitty but he'll be ok, don't know if he'll fix his hoverhand though
>>7725622
that's r9k bad

In a letter to The Times of London, Dahl called Rushdie "a dangerous opportunist," saying he "must have been totally aware of the deep and violent feelings his book would stir up among devout Muslims. In other words, he knew exactly what he was doing and cannot plead otherwise. This kind of sensationalism does indeed get an indifferent book on to the top of the best-seller list, — but to my mind it is a cheap way of doing it."
My English professor one told me that he was in a book store in London and then weird FBI looking people approached him and told him that he should leave for his own safety and then Salman Rushdie walked in.
I interpret the story as Rushdie being a notorious male bum-driller.
>>7725588
I read midnight's children recently, it was pretty good.
I guess I need to read the satanic verses and find out why Muslims are so butthurt over it.
While calling the death sentence outrageous, John le Carré agreed. "I don't think it is given to any of us to be impertinent to great religions with impunity," the spy novelist told The New York Times in May 1989. "I am mystified that he hasn't said: 'It's all a mess. My book has been wildly misunderstood, but as long as human lives are being wasted on account of it, I propose to withdraw it.' I have to say that would be my position....It seems to me he has nothing more to prove except his own insensitivity." Le Carré also questioned defending the book on literary merit alone: "Are we to believe that those who write literature have a greater right to free speech than those who write pulp? Such elitism does not help Rushdie's cause, whatever that cause has now become."

Iranian secret services have generally (not as much now as during the 80s) been rather handy at assasinating people they want to get rid of. If they really wanted Rushdie dead they would probably have done it already. The MI6 has him covered enough and especially with the now improving relations they're probably not too eager to whack a well-known British-Indian author because he wrote a book they didn't like. It's not like he's an urgent threat to the nation or the regime.
Also, look at that hoverhand
>>7725661
Dahl was literally a James Bond.
>>7725661
It probably is a shit book though. I've never heard anyone actually praise it. Midnight's Children, however, seems pretty good.
>>7725655
because no one was guarding them
>>7725588
I heard that Rushdie played tons of Super Mario Brothers when he was holed up from the earlier fatwa. I wonder what genre of vidya would be his main choice today. I see him staying with platformers and going through the Ratchet & Clank oeuvre.

Underrated post here. Proof would be interesting.

>islam is rational

>islam is pro free-speech
lmao mudslimes are pretty funny desu
>>7725643
Wow, massive respect lost for Carre.
>>7726244
>all of Islam is exactly the same and exactly what the news tells me
>>7726244
Imagine if when Muslim civilisation had died (800 years ago), all the Muslims had died too.
Imagine a world where we didn't have to live with the rotting corpse of a failed religion and its zombie adherents for a millennium.
Fucking Islam.
>>7726267
i mean basically yeah
>>7726267
islam almost died out but the cia puffed it back up to fight communism in the 70s and 80s...now that oil isn't worth a piss the islamic revival is coming to an end...even liberal tool The Atlantic had a story recently about the coming collapse of Saudi Arabia, and Saudi funding backs most of the wacko groups, with a little funding coming from Turkey and the CIA.
>>7726267
that would be nice but even better just imagine if Judaism had been stomped out in Egypt 3000 years ago?
>>7726294
Lol, that's a new one. The CIA is responsible for Islam in the 20th century? Beautiful.
>>7726318
Dude, Hillary Clinton bombed Libya and let ISIS steal all of Ghaddafi's weapons, and CIA has been opening supporting "opposition groups" in Syria. If the CIA wasn't controlling them, why did ISIS stop chopping people's heads off when Trump started winning? If Bush was winning there would be heads bouncing around Syria like pingpong balls.
>>7726318
He didn't say that. He said that the CIA used radical Islam as a tool until it backfired horrendously.
>>7726332
>Trump controls the CIA who in turn controls ISIS
this is getting better by the minute, do continue.
>>7726334
exactly, it's widely acknowledged that the CIA trained Bin Laden, and that the CIA has been giving aid to Syrian opposition groups in the form of both cash and arms.
>>7726340
man you really are militantly stupid aren't you? The "ISIS Threat" was being used by Trump to win the election instead of the "establishment candidate". don't forget Jeb's father was the head of the CIA, so they had ISIS dial back on the terror for a while until the primaries are over, since it was helping "the wrong guy". Before Trump started winning the NY Times had these shrill urgent stories about ISIS ever day, then Trump started leading in the polls, suddenly ISIS isn't newsworthy anymore.
>>7725614
>Prophet's hair
I really enjoyed that one.
>>7725875
It's from his memoir, Joseph Anton, which is written from the a third-person perspective for some bizarre reason. Here are some excerpts regarding Mario:
>Marianne came around and scolded him for playing video games. Thanks to Zafar, he had grown fond of Mario the plumber and his brother Luigi and sometimes Super Mario World felt like a happy alternative to the one he lived in the rest of the time. “Read a good book,” his wife told him scornfully. “Give it up.” He lost his temper. “Don’t tell me how to live my life,” he exploded, and she made a grand exit.
>Alone at Hermitage Lane he reached the end of his Super Mario game, defeating the big bad Bowser himself and rescuing the insufferably pink Princess Toadstool. He was glad Marianne was not there to witness his triumph.
>>7726354
But how does Obama fit into all this?
>>7725588
How can one man be so smug? Fucker knows he's hover-handing and is still smug as a coked-up Pepe.
>>7726473
>Alone at Hermitage Lane he reached the end of his Super Mario game, defeating the big bad Bowser himself and rescuing the insufferably pink Princess Toadstool. He was glad Marianne was not there to witness his triumph.
My fucking sides, I love how Rushdie is so smug about everything.
>>7726354
>A presidential candidate takes up a lot of the news
Holy. Fucking. Shite. It's the Marxist, ZOG Machine again.
>>7725588
this fucker is always posing with the hottest bitches, what gives?
Serious question about hover hands:
Is there an alternative? I hate photographs but I rather be prepared.
Does the social contract say I can grab her hip for a picture, or do women expect a hover hand? If the latter is true, then these men aren't betas, they are just doing what society expects.
>>7726638
No, women do not expect a hoverhand. Simple as that. You just have to put your hand in the right place, i.e. not her ass or shoulders.
>>7726638
Depends. Are you really obliged to touch others when you're being photographed? Also why the fuck would you pose in the first place?
>>7726661
Idk, think of Salman's situation. What would you do?
>>7726659
What's the right place? The deepest part of her concavity or the bone in the lower part.

>>7726668
I'd say bottom finger on the peak of the hip bone so that your hand is on the true waist.
>>7726675
Perfect!
Thank you so much!!
>>7726665
Not give a fuck? Is that even a question? If anything the fact that I'm expected to do something only makes me want to act in an unacceptable way, like taking my dick out.
You're not there to be photographed and if you're there for that odds are you're stupid.
>>7725588
>Posting the picture that makes Rushdie look like a timid, beta high-school freshman.

>>7726794
That's a good grip!
>>7726794
So fucking smug I love it
>>7726794
Instead of posting the pic where he looks pretty fucking creepy?
>>7726794
i imagined what their children might look like by crossing my eyes and merging their faces like you do with 3D porn and it's unsettling to say the least
>>7726794
oh money... it's so beautiful
>>7726794
how does he get pussy as good as olivia wilde and scarlet johannson? howwwww
He must have an Evian bottle dick.
>>7727310
By playing Mario Bros. and writing genre fiction. Living da life.
>>7725661
Christianity tends to pussify
>>7727359
True. White's who are "athiest" but retain all the spooked morality bullshit are the worst though.
>>7727359
cultural marxism due to jew infestation pussifies, christianity is the cure
>>7726794
He literally looks like a smug pepe
>>7727425
can shop this pls
>>7726638
If you're posing with a girl in a dress like that, you put your hand on her lower back and pull her beside you. it's not hard, you dip
>>7726354
poe's law
>>7725588
what fuck, he married her ?
>>7726638
women do not want to be touched by men from whom they do not expect pleasure.
>>7726638
>then these men aren't betas, they are just doing what society expects.
read that again
>hover hands
>never
>>7726501
It's snap photography. Look at it, he's reaching around, his face is all messed up, and even what's-her-name isn't totally prepared.
>>7726558
The Marxist Zog machine is real. Don't be an ignorant cunt, do some research on cultural marxism and critical theory. It's a controlled demolition of white society, they've been so terrified since ww2 ended they've decided the only way they'll be safe is if they sick the beasts of niggers and Mudslimes on us whites to keep us distracted from the true threat; the filthy subversive KIKE.
>>7726659
Damn, I often go shoulders.
Wouldnt one of his SS guys be tempted to waste Rushdie and claim the bounty? They've probably killed before, no big deal for them
>>7726473
Terrorists ruin lives. Poor guy.
