In the past, JK Rowling has seen a backlash for both of them Its character choices Harry Potter booksas well as her attitude towards transgender people who witnessed Daniel Radcliffe’s responses and others Potter The cast. While they are hot issues, Rowling does not appear to have received death threats for those proceedings. Instead, this social media statement appears to have been motivated solely by her support for Salman Rushdie. No one can say this concretely, because the threat simply did not explain the motive.
The assault on Salman Rushdie, which took place on Friday 12 August, caused the writer to be severely stabbed. As shared by CNNThe motives behind the stabbing remain unclear, but Rushdie is recovering well, after being removed from the ventilator. It’s all very vague, though it’s a good thing that there were no actual deaths at either end of this disturbing story.
