James O'Brien meets Salman Rushdie | LBC

[@ramdularsingh1435]

Salman Rushdie is a creative genius ! He loves liberty and freedom. And it's a must for a creative mind to do their work.

[@ramdularsingh1435]

Really really nice interview !!!..

[@ashwanimalhotra493]

More strength to you Salman, from India.

[@HaroonNawaz-kc4nb]

Yeah ask your cow for strength

[@henresearch]

Profound. Profound

[@dawnhollified2482]

Bless your heart.

[@geoffreynhill2833]

Flame on, Salman! 👍🤔 ( "Green Fire" UK ) 🌈🦉

[@noway7555]

Wonderful interview. Thank you both.

Knife is as powerful as it gets, and Victory City was one of my favorite Summer reads. Because of the attack he wasn't able to promote Victory City, but I would argue so many bought his latest novel because of the attack.

[@terencemeikle534]

Right, Sir Salman: I want THREE more of the finest novels available to humanity from your pen. I want them HERE, and I want them NOW. 🖊 📖

I’m watching this interview the day after reading an article in the Washington Post about how the Taliban is cracking down on, among many other things, women laughing in public. And then in this interview he is pointing out the absurdity of the idea of a Taliban comedian and how comedy is a threat to groups like them.

Do you want to talk to me? I have a totally diferrent story to tell. Near death is unique. I was shot between the eyes with a .22mm rifle. Point blank, and I'm here nearly 50 years later still talking about it. Haunts me it does.

[@mookieibra6376]

What happened, how did you you end up in that situation and how did the outcome shape your life after?

[@ITS1985]

Did you lose your nose ?

[@gregconnors-o1q]

​@@ITS1985 Thanks for your response. I was 16, staying in a rooming house occupied by 12 or so other tennants. Strangers one and each. This guy came in to the t.v. room waving a rifle around. I was sitting on the sofa and he pointes the rifle toward me saying, Ýou know this thing is loaded". I replied,"Well don't point ........." I had no time to finish the sentence. The bullet enterred the top right side of my nose, half an inch from my right eye. There is no exit wound, no physical or visual sign of injury. Fifty years later the bullet is lodged at the C3 level of my spine. It was the most surreal experience of my life. No pain, no fear. There was some confusion like, Where am I, What is going on. I was floating in a sea of something. Iremember bright colors of green. Then, all of a sudden I had the sensation of drowning and it felt like something or someone grabbed my ankles and threw me back, with incredible force, back to the sofa where I was before. I was drowning, I was drowning on my own blood. Blood spewed from my mouth like a burst water main. I spent 7 days in hospital and went back to work. Unbelievable. A miracle?

Wow.

[@informedchoice2249]

Dear Salman...

[@harithhumam4372]

We'll be see it

[@salmonesque]

Beautifully put.

[@higherspirit1]

Interesting how he is honest enough to admit his book was reconstruction based on many other accounts. Wouldn’t call it factual then- a compilation, maybe part fiction, part heresey. Lots of opinions for sure.

[@exiledone69]

And people are so pathetic they put a fatwah on someone for writing a book

[@higherspirit1]

@@exiledone69 Fatwah? Interesting extremist view? Just shedding light between fact vs fiction and believe it should be viewed as such. And not Muslim, Catholic actually, always support truth and humanity. Too many have sufferred on both sides. Cease fire is needed.

[@johncarroll772]

The word heresy used in the 21st century, Jesus H Christ.

[@johncarroll772]

Christopher Hitchens on UK Question time talking about the Fatwa is a classic

[@djdoolittle1315]

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

Careful, James

[@BERNARDO712]

Rushdie is so committed to being a troll and provocateur. Have no empathy for anything that happens to him.

[@normalperson3451]

Condoning of violence? Of killing - for words?

[@adamjeffrey3058]

Troll in what way? Care to expand?

[@marinosasso2773]

Says the troll hiding behind his keyboard...

[@mubeen.fatima]

I thought Salman Rushdi is dead

[@ITS1985]

He’s a survivor

[@saalumol]

He is a warrior ❤❤

[@jonathonlee9081]

radio guy needs to hold more eye contact imho

[@MT-kx2uc]

Rushdie is a talentless hack. He has milked his controversy.

[@salmonesque]

I hope he makes an enormous cheese with said milk.

[@johncarroll772]

Hack 😅😅😅😅😅

[@OhSheeeeeeet]

Eye eye captain

[@TheLion-b3h]

Hes lost so much but still learnt nothing about lies or Lying, he’s sold out to Islamophobia and pushing is still pushing it…!?!

[@Phrive]

I think you don't know what islamophobia means.

[@georgestanley-jones6821]

Name one lie

[@salmonesque]

Have you considered writing poetry?

[@mimin4457]

I Hate James O’Brien

[@johncarroll772]
