Salman Rushdie: The 2024 60 Minutes Interview
Salman Rushdie has come to terms with the attempt on his life the only way he knows: by writing about it in his new book. He details the experience in his first television interview since the attack.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

"if I want to insult you I can do it directly I don't have to write a 600 page book and waste 5 years of my life" true
But thats exactly what he did
But is it worth one of your eyes? LMAO!!!
@@muneebiqbal5584 No he didn't. But what Khomeini did was an insult to freedom, and indeed, to the intelligence.
@@muneebiqbal5584 exatly. I didn''t expected such dumb statement from him😆😆
@@WonderfulTiger-ze6wp If you have to insult him, please at least write correct English. It's not: "I didn't expected.." The correct English is: "I didn't expect..."
As an Iranian I feel so ashamed of the Islamists here not just ruining our lives, but hurting this man's life as well for so long. What an amazing man and a brilliant writer you are Mr. Rushdie.
I’ve been fortunate enough to meet several Iranians in my life (I live in USA). All of them have been amazing people (same with all Nigerians I have met). Unfortunately I know a lot of Americans have probably never met an Iranian in person (or at least didn’t know they were Iranian). I worry that given what we see on the news those people will judge all Iranians negatively, hopefully that is not the case. Hopefully the regime falls and both countries can resume friendly relations. I encourage all Americans to watch interviews of the average Iranian and many of them say good things about the USA and how they want to get along with us. In fact, given the videos of Americans themselves chanting ‘death to America’ I wish we could trade those Americans for the Iranians who want to escape the regime…. Seems like a win-win lol
Much love to the Iranian secularists from Australia! The Iranians are great people.
From Saudi, I feel deeply sorry for Iranians who are smart and educated people being forced back to the Middle Ages by the Mullahs. I wish that we can help the Iranian people to take back their country.

When Christopher Hitchens says you are the greatest wordsmith in the English language, and English is your second language, we know we're talking about an exceptional intellect.
I was also thinking about their relationship. Couldn't imagine the absolute tyrade Hitchens would've gone on if he'd seen this.
There are many in India who have this. Rohinton Mistry for example.
@@potterj09 Imagine how hard he'd be eviscerating the MAGA movement.
Thankfully Rushdie stands on his own without the support of someone who writes swill like Hitchens did.
@@jellophant9716 I laughed out loud. Thanks for the chuckle
The 27 seconds of silence had me in tears, this is heartbreaking

Salman Rushdie, I'm a girl from Iraq live in Sweden. Thank you for fighting the right of free speech. It makes me so sad and angry for what happened to you!!! You are a brave man and real heroes are those who risk their lives to save lives!
"the free world" killed: 100 million native americans, australians 165 million in India 20 mil in Africa 17 mil vietnamese 7 mil in Algeria 7 mil in N Korea 2 mil in Iraq, 1 mil in Afghanistan 1 mil in Indonesia 1 mil in Philippins 200k in Guatemala Hiroshima, WW, Guantanamo
He was a great Satan.
@@ziadghannam7704 What does that have to do with the fact that we have free speech??? You can bring up these numbers all you want and I agree with you it's shameful but at the same time it doesn't take away the fact that we have freedoms Muslim societies don't.
@@SomethingSomethingg What do you know about Muslim societies which is wrong how you label them? What do you know about 2 billion Muslims around the world? The majority of Muslims are in Indonesia,Malaysia, India and Africa Europe 87% that enjoys freedom. Only 13% are in middle eastern that are rich oil countries with kings and dictators made by the west in the colonial era. Muslim is a religion not a society.They have different cultures,languages race,ethnic,countries,continent,and socio-economic backgrounds.next time make your homework.
@@haveaniceday365. No, they don't enjoy freedom. No country with anti-blasphemy laws enjoys freedom. If you're not allowed to criticize or mock a religion than you're not living in a free society.
Whosoever came up with the cover of this book, its beautifully designed!!
As an artist I agree, brilliant design.
Almost as beautiful as the universe, beautifully designed.
It’s not a design, it’s an artwork by Lucio Fontana
As an Indian, I am proud of the fact that such an intellectual was born in my country. We really needed one for the post-colonial era. He will forever be one for India. I just want him to know that he has inspired many Indians like myself to think about religions more critically.
😂🤣😂no wonder
@@yousefziadeh5808 go back to begging for more infidel IMF money

@yousefziadeh5808 Have you even read any of his works? Just read The midnight's children book. One of the many great works If satanic verses book offends you don't read it. It's that simple.
@@sharipn8348 They need to have a brain in the first place to think logically 😀
His attacker was a 24 year-old kid living in his mother's basement with no future, no personal identity, no motivation, and no aspirations. His only identity was his religion, and here was Salman Rushdie, an atheist, a brilliant author, highly educated, highly successful, who had everything. What would be the simplest and easiest way to get instant fame and notoriety, and approval from the fanatics in his religion? Killing the man he was jealous of. It was as simple as that. "I just didn't like him very much". Brilliant self-analysis, guy. That's as far as his thinking went. I feel sorry for his mother; but I hope he spends the rest of his life in prison.
Why feel sorry for his mother? She nurtured him and may be as deep of a thinker as he.
@@pali_aha If you have to ask the question, "why have compassion?" then maybe there are a few questions YOU should be asking yourself.
What do you know 😂
@@pali_aha his mother disowned him after the attack
Aloha snackbar.
A brave and stoic man for surviving what he has endured, even just mentally. Must be very traumatic. Am glad he is alive.
how is someone running away from danger and hiding behind someone else who can defend him for the rest of his life ..... brave ?!?!?!
@@winistan Seriously? So he's expected to just accept danger and accept being executed and not to do anything to protect himself? He's brave for having the balls to speak out against this knowing that for the rest of his life he will have to live in fear of being killed. He has sacrificed a lot and has endured so much mental stress and now physical stress all for the the protection of the freedom of speech and the freedom to criticize. Even after this attack he could have just gone into reclusion but he didn't. Yes, he's brave.
As someone trapped in a dictatorship I can not stress enough how much freedom of thought and expression is valuable and priceless like you would never understand until you lose it. Western people seem not to appreciate how insanely lucky they are to be born in societies where they still have these freedoms. Fight for your freedoms because the rest of the world is fighting for the ideologies / theocracies that ruin their lives and the lives of their children. I wish I was in the west, I wish we had your values.
Some of us do know. I do, and I lament the censorship we also have experienced trying to wake people from their slumber. The topic has become social media Kryptonite. I'm shut down at least 3 times a week for 24 to 48 hours, just for saying words like a nation's name. I never EVER thought this day would come in the West, but here it is. In the last few years, and especially in the last 6 months, censorship is the West is the worst it has ever been. I heard every word you said, loudly, in my heart. I really hope for your dictatorship to fall and fail. And I sincerely hope you once again can be free too. Kindest regards from AU 🫶🇦🇺
Even in the west, it is increasingly becoming harder to speak truth to power. Freedom of speech in general is also becoming conditional upon the feelings of the recipient, because apparently offense is now regarded as something given rather than taken. I suspect this is how it starts, and autocratic rule is how it ends. I wish more people like you were here to warn us of the consequences.
Hopefully the dictatorship will end soon. I mean it has to! Biden can’t stay in office forever.
We are not entirely free here in the west, either. With that said, I do not take the degree of freedom we do have, for granted. We have a greater range to speak our minds, but the great American freedom is largely an illusion. We have the appearance of freedom. We are being censored and restricted, at an increasingly alarming pace. Many Americans feel like they are genuinely free, because they have bought into American propaganda, and indoctrination masked as education, so they have no thoughts outside of those approved by the government.
I agree, but the West is getting worse. The don't stand up for truth and will most likely lose their freedom!
I just finished reading Midnight's Children last week, with no knowledge that "Knife" existed and was soon to be published. What an absolute genius this guy is, it's obvious and undeniable. Almost depressing that I waited so long to give him a chance. Give this man his Nobel already, ffs. That single book alone demands it.
I agree. Salman Rushdie has earned that Nobel many times over.
Love that book!
Agreed
Why because he writes thousands of pages against one religion… the only hate crime allowed against one religion & unlike antisemitics, the perpetrators are fully protected & given medals for their crimes… ??
@@sheshahayat5117 no, because he's a good writer. The Satanic Verses aren't "thousands of pages long", and he hasn't dedicated his life to besmirching Islam's name. You strike me as someone who hasn't actually read any of his work and allows others to fill your head with ideas. Every religion out there is subject to ridicule: you'll find stereotypes of every faith in media, Western stand-up comics have been making fun of Christianity for decades, and shows like Family Guy and South Park have prospered while making fun of almost every religion. The difference is, most faiths lack a significant number of insecure fundamentalists that feel as if their Almighty needs to be protected or rescued by mere mortals. As yourself this: If Rushdie's book truly was blasphemous enough to warrant the fatwah, why does Allah SWT still allow him to live? Has the mandate for his assassination come from above, or simply from humans like ourselves?
I’d put money down on the assumption that Khomeni NEVER read the book and just listened to fanatical followers and/or advisors of his who told him the book was offensive. Typical of those who want to ban books because of self-righteous fanatics who want to force their religious beliefs and “values” on others.
It is so good to see Sir Salman again.

Rushdie's work has been with me for two thirds of my life, from Himalayan peaks to Virgin rain forests of Africa. Kudos to 60 Minutes for those 27 seconds of silence. When you understand what every second in a show costs, you understand the depth of reverence and compassion it is showing Salman..
Good to see you ! Long live free speech. India loves Salman Rushdie. Keep writing.
India wouldn't love Salman Rushdie if he wrote a book about Hinduism similar to satanic verses.
what do you think about ongoing media oppression and the decline in freedom of speech in India ?

I was almost stabbed to death last year - I think I need to read this book. Stumbling upon these recent interviews of Rushdie and learning he wrote this book with a particular title that resonates with me personally, I feel is a sign. Strange how life works.
I know what you mean but it is a coincidence
Why were you stabbed if you dont mind? Glad that ur okay

Rushdie was evil - you should be ashamed of yourself
@@green1880 Is. The attacker is a failure in life and failed in his goal.
@@green1880 How is Rushdie evil? what did he do?
Why you all need to lie to make your religion looked good...
@@Cinoth I know he did. But that doesn't make him an evil person. He had a lot of legitimate points. In Iran many Persians respected him. Because the Persian Iranians don't want to follow Islamic laws, they want democracy. Islam was forced on them in the 6th century by Arab Muslims that invaded Iran. And in 1979 another group of Arab descendant Ayatollahs took over and are oppressing them. And why the hell should someone go to the extreme wanting to hurt someone because they criticize Islam?? Because Muhammad also said, to punish those that question or criticize Islam. FREE IRAN AND PERSIANS FROM ISLAM. Give us democracy. We're Persians and NOT Arabs.
Impressive man and thought provoking
Absolutely 💯 agree
I'm from Iran and a big fan of the Verses and of Mr. Rushdie generally. What a lovely man.
So good to hear that there are Iranians who are open-minded. I have questions for you if you don't mind.
@@none377 Most of us are. But it's good that you're open to challenging your prejudices. Ask away!

Salman Rushdie is brilliant, accomplished, and brave. Everything his despicable little attacker, and all his would be attackers, whether state sponsored, or random crazies, are not. I met him a couple of times at public events, and found him kind and affable. I love his writing, particular Midnight's Children, Shame, and The Satanic Verses. I've read each of them several times. Thank you Mr. Rushdie, for thousands of hours of sheer reading joy.
Those 27 seconds were as an infinity. So much damage wrought in those seconds
He is a brilliant author. The amount of courage to forge ahead with his life and advocate for writers is tremendous.
A great man. Long live free speech.
thank you for your brilliance, your humor and your intelletual honesty. just thank you.
As an Iranian, I must say that Salman Rushdie is just one of the valuable and wise people whose talent and art have been destroyed by religious idiots.

@@Free-minded_man When your believed is wrong and glorified violence, there won't be peace...
There is no logic or reason in such an attack just irrational hatred against anybody that remotely fits the description of an enemy.
Tell that to Israel
No, just irrational hatred against anybody more successful than him, who his religion told him to hate.
@@JibrhanKhan-lw2lk , Tell that to your mom. Oh, and thanks for your condolences for the 1200 men, women, small children and infants who were murdered in their homes by Hamas. Really great role models for you, there.
It’s not irrational, it’s lawful according to all mainstream interpretations of Islamic law.
It’s 100% logical if you follow the Quran, Tafsirs and authentic Hadiths. It’s us who remain ignorant to how corrosive this ideology really is around the globe.

So wonderful to see him again.
I am so glad Sir Salman Rushdi is alive, healthy, awesome as always and kicking! ❤
He survived that incident in the metal foundry. I’m so happy he’s still alive!
You should be proud of everything you've done! I'm so happy you have physically recovered. Never stop!
Isn't it about time humanity moved on from these insane witchhunts? I could never imagine being so offended by something as benign as a 40 year-old fantasy novel. How do we prevent people from being fueled by these mad ideologies?
islam
The world has moved on, it’s just Islam that can’t get past the 6th century
Clearly you can start by answering your own question and learn about the religious ideology that is so offended by being questioned, that it is often roused to extreme violence to remedy the questioning. If you have no idea about it, how can you possibly stop it ? and worse still, by your ignorance you find that IT finds it's way to your doorstep, and into your life in the most nefarious sense, leaving you completely unable to defend yourself or that you hold dear. That is going to be some peoples experience. I would encourage you to learn, learn as much as you can about it. Because if you knew what I do, you would be a little more focussed on what's coming our way.
@@delishme2 you mean Islam
@@TJ-kk5zf i or I, that is the big problem 🤔
A man who tried to change the world..respect for you, a great man
It's good to see that the incident hasn't changed Rushdie's view.
I had no idea he lost his right eye. Good lord. Evil religious fanatics are a scourge on this planet.
Starting with American crusaders.
Its apt as the anti-christ will be blind in the right eye also
@@fuseplan1039 Haven't taken world history class yet, I see.
@@Quantumwolf45 Unfortunately there is plenty more. However, what happened to one eye willy was obviously wrong, but blame the deranged attacker not a whole religion!
@@muneebiqbal5584 I thought there would be some religious symbolism behide it. Females seem to have been demonised by the yin,which is also left hand side and yang = Right hand side. Yin = Females = Negative force. Yang = Males = Positive force. I have a working Theory/hypothesis of how those ideas/concepts seems to have been transferred or overlaid onto society,so that's how females have and are still preceived in a negative way and males preceived in a positive way.
I was introduced to Mr. Rushdie in an English lit. class, we read "Midnight's Children" and I was completely blown away. After that, I had to read "Satanic Verses" and was again blown away. Midway through the book I started over and only allowed myself one chapter a day to prolong the experience. One of my fave quotes, "What happens when you win? When your enemies are at your mercy: how will you act then? Compromise is the temptation of the weak; this is the test for the strong.”
The quote reflects beautifully the situation at hand.
I think the Fatwa on Rushdie was the first time the average person in the west became aware of Islamic fundamentalism. It was certainly the first time I'd heard it.
You are hero and inspiration to so many, Salman.
My deepest gratitude for the immense contribution you've made to literature and for the courage you have shown in facing these devils. You are a remarkable person, and you hold a special place in my heart
Bless him, he is a brave man. His resilience is amazing.
Hopefully he gets well soon best wishes from India
Your books are, and will always be, the most turbulent, beautifully exciting, challenging and deeply romantic stories that I will ever read. Thank you for your mind.
Salman is a phenomenal writer, and I gotta say, hes got fantastic, lucky taste in women! I salute him!
The religion of peace.
One of the first questions was “Did you have any idea that it would cause violence?“ I understand why he asked that but grown men with delusions “caused” the violence, not bound paper.
I love you rushdi
Kind of glad that Salman went on this spate of interviews after the attack to just further cement his victory over that attacker
I appreciate his stance and the fact that the attacker will not be named; such people should not be become 'celebrities'. Thank you Mr. Rushdie.
I hope Rushdie is with us for years to come, and I hope his attacker learns what an American prison is like for decades to come.
The man's an American so I don't think he was completely unaware of the American prison system.
Darkness cannot abide the light.
What a peaceful community and religion !
*Muhammed is a warriors not a peace maker, they followed his footstep*
Salman Rushdie is a creative genius of our beloved world today !!!!.....😊
60 minutes won't critizise Islam though.
When Dan Brown writes a fictional story using debatable references to non canonical gospels, there are critical push back from Christians. However there's an understanding that a violent reaction goes too far because it goes against Jesus' teachings. When Rushdie writes a fictional story using debatable references in the Quran, the threat of violence from a fanatical Islamist is very real. The Charlie Hebdo tragedy was another reminder. Unfortunately, violence is demonstrated by Muhammad in the Quran and various hadiths all too often.
You said it more than I could have.
and because of folks like the attacker, people like me are now curious to read the book. what could possibly be written, that is so blasphemous? Even Harry Potter did not inspire such level of malice within the Christian community.
Where in the Quran does Mohammed demonstrate violence?
Liar.
Where in the Quran does Mohammed advocate violence?
I wish Rushdie a long life.
He is great!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Good to see that he hasn't lost any of his wits after such a horrific attack. America, please protect this man.
How can somebody attack like that and plead not guilty?
Salman Rushdie is my hero ❤ and so are the heroes who saved his life ❤

Your videos are silly😊
KNIFE is a brilliant book...I finished it this morning...More brilliance from Salman Rusdie
No security? Are you joking? Come on people!
Mr. Rushdie, I am glad that you are feeling better. Hate begets hate. Correct me if I’m perceiving wrong but your 20 second book “knife” appears that there’s hope that you wish to continue to fight back against those that wish to silence you and humanity. As I believe that your text satanic verses was an intellectual suicide, it was also a literature that brought you fame or infamy. Your courage to challenge the world’s most populous religion was quite polarizing to say the least. My suggestion to you would be to use the knife of your words and seek redemption from those that have been polarized by you yet never lifted a knife. One criminal and the entire religion gets blamed. Could the real enemy of oneself be oneself?? We take calculated risks and we have to be careful. The whole world is not our friend. It appears clear that the satanic verses was inspired by your perception of Islamism. Despite your understandable immense hatred towards islam, I suggest you to consider leaving your predispositions and try to understand the religion from the moderates like AbdulHakim Murad, etc. Perhaps you will find many friends on the path and learn something new you may never have because you resisted. Curiosity brings us together. Arguments often tear us apart. Wish you a brighter future 🤲🌺
Agree with your points except one....cant blame logical people to generalized islam as this is not the first time a fatwa was given and executed. Its the very root of the chaos around us since 9/11.
@@vangielee1403 it’s quite naive to believe that the sensationalized political mullahs who give fatwas truly have a serious effect on a population of more than 1 billion. It’s just a threat towards an individual who disrespected their beloved, nothing more. Even the young man who attacked Mr. Rushdie was not following an order, he attacked on impulse and feeling. We all to a certain level take calculated risks based on what we are willing to sacrifice. The young attacker through his tunnel vision and lack of experience, life and relationships had nothing to loose.
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Aisha was 9, Self-proclaimed prophet Muhammad was 54 or 52. ______________ No, thank you.

He survived by a miracle what happened was indeed supernatural he wasn’t even supposed to survive
Any other religion executes people for writing or drawing? Didn’t think so
Books and pens have been the greatest tool to survive his instinctive voice.

Best wishes for you Mr.Rushdie.
as Mr. Rushdie won't acknowledge his attacker, so as no to give him any recognition, the media, too, should Not name mass shooters. they dont deserve recognition either 😤
American media " I'm afraid we can't do that"
Yes. Let history forgot him. It does not deserves a line or a word.
One thing I have to mention: the Chautauqua Institute where Salman was set to speak is on Lake Chautauqua. Yes, it’s near Lake Erie but it would’ve been better to be more accurate on that fact.
