Seems highly likely to be an Islamic extremist. Could just be another type of nutter I suppose.

I know a joke about Salmon Rushdie
It’s about a salmon called Rushdie who goes on an adventure and writes a book on shipwrecks
It’s called Salmon Rushdie and the Titanic Verses

The fact is you could be in any country and voice your opinion on god. Even say he was gay.
Try that with Allah.

sadly the only surprising thing is that he wasn't shot

You just did.
You could say that here tbh. You might end up the victim of a violent assault though.

He usually has bodyguards with him wherever he goes. This footage from the immediate aftermath seems to show members of the audience scrambling onto the stage to subdue the attacker.

They never seem to understand that freedom of speech isn’t the same as freedom from consequences.
You could say some celebrity is a massive paedo and nobody can stop you. The celebrity concerned can quite easily sue for libel though.
Whilst I agree with you, I don’t think that there should be consequences for strong speech against a religion itself…followers of a religion are something else, they’re people, but I don’t think there should be any legal consequences for expressing hate towards a religion, or just religion as a whole.
