 Iran state media hails Salman Rushdie's attacker as 'courageous and duty-conscious man' whose hands should be kissed for 'tearing the neck of the enemy of God with a knife'

• Iranian state media praised Salman Rushdie's attacker as a 'courageous and duty-conscious man'
• Regime-owned papers branded the British author as an 'apostate' and heretic-writer 
• Tehran issued a fatwa calling for Rushdie's murder after the publication of The Satanic Verses
• The edict forced the writer into hiding for a decade and fuelled worldwide riots and book-burnings 

• Iran's deranged state media has today gleefully celebrated the sickening attack on Salman Rushdie, hailing the British author's suspected knifeman and branding the novellist an 'apostate' and 'heretic' whose book The Satanic Verses 'blasphemed' the Prophet Muhammad. 

  Rushdie, 75, was stabbed up to 15 times - including once in the neck - on stage in upstate New York - more than 30 years after the theocratic dictatorship in Tehran issued a fatwa calling for the murder of the writer and anyone involved with the publication of the 1988 novel.

  The edict forced Sir Salman to go into hiding for a decade under an alias and round-the-clock police protection - and fuelled worldwide riots and book-burnings.
