Salman Roshdi, the British-American author of Indian origin who wrote the book “The Satanic Verses”, said in an interview with the American New Yorker magazine that he hopes the Iranian protests will be the “tipping point” of the Islamic Republic.
This summer, during a speech by Salman Roshdi in New York City, a person named “Hadi Matar” attacked him with a knife. The American police announced that Matar is a person interested in the Islamic Republic.
As a result of this attack, Roshdi has lost the sight of one eye. After the publication of his book called “Evil Verses” in 1988 and the negative reaction of Muslim countries to the publication of this book, he received a sentence of killing from Ruhollah Khomeini.
