Salman Rushdie has called off his trip to the eastern Indian city of Kolkata to promote the film based on his best selling novel, “Midnight’s Children”, following protests by Muslim groups.
Several hundred Muslim demonstrators shouting anti-Rushdie slogans congregated at the airport in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) on Wednesday ahead of the controversial British author’s planned arrival, triggering security fears and forcing him to summarily terminate his visit.
Rushdie’s definition of a fascist: a person who does not want to allow into Britain the people who are trying to kill me

That definition could suit any far leftist. For them anyone who resists islamofacism is a right wing fascist.
Indian leftists don’t know what to do. Muslims are their pet victim but here the Muslims are behaving badly with their fellow leftist Muslim Rushdie, and not a mere Hindu that they could automatically blame for the conflict. It does not register in their minds that Hindus that they treat as their favorite whipping boy whom they never tire of calling fascists are the only reason Muslim rage boys currently persecuting Rushdie are not large enough to stomp on all leftists like them.
