No one deserves to be attacked like this.

I can't read the article due to a paywall but I'm guessing it's related to their critique of Iran?

Reminder that Iran is a country that publicly calls for people to be killed and offers hefty rewards which have directly resulted in attacks like the one against Salman Rushdie (which was also a stabbing). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic\_Verses\_controversy#Fatwa\_by\_Ayatollah\_Khomeini

sounds like it.
i forgot i have a paywall bypass. looks like there are more articles about it now:
