  • The supreme leader of Iran declared a fatwa calling for his execution in the late 80s after he published The Satanic Verses, which is a novel about the prophet Muhammad that is considered blasphemous by conservative Muslims.

    People have been trying to kill him in the name of Islam since. Mostly because the state of Iran has a $4 million USD bounty on his life, that is still on offer. Iranian state media does fundraisers to add to the pot every few years.

    The attempts on his life are meant to silence free speech across international boarders and further religious ideology.
