Harry Potter Creator JK Rowling Gets Chilling Death Threat From Extremist After Rushdie Stabbing

Wash Exam-

Author J.K. Rowling has received a death threat following her sympathetic tweet for author Salman Rushdie.

“Feeling very sick right now,” Rowling tweeted in a reply to a link to the “horrifying news” that Rushdie had been stabbed several times while giving a lecture in New York. “Let him be ok.”

“Don’t worry you are next,” one user by the name of Meer Asif Aziz replied to Rowling’s tweet.

Aziz’s account, with its 24 followers, has not published a tweet since the author pointed out his death threat to the platform’s administration. The account, which normally tweets about 11 tweets per month, was relatively more active around the news of the attack on Rushdie, calling the now-known attacker “a revolutionary Shia fighter” who “followed the fatwa of the late Ayatollah Rohullah Khomenei.” Aziz was referring to the 1989 religious ruling from Iran’s supreme leader that promised to award $3 million to whoever killed Rushdie following the publication of his book The Satanic Verses. The bounty would increase to as much as $6 million over the years, according to the Index on Censorship.

Twitter has not responded to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment to confirm or deny whether the account has been suspended. The original tweet is no longer visible on the platform.

It says his account “doesn’t exist.” That means he deleted it, Twitter did not suspend him. If they did it would explain that.

I get bounced for calling some hack leftist dickwad an asshole because I am creating an “unsafe environment,” yet Twitter lets death threats from Muslim shiiteheads go unpunished.

  1. When a US citizen threatens a politician, whether for cause or not, they throw them in prison for a few years.
    The lesson, of course; do, or don’t do; threats mean jack.
