Very compelling interview, thank you. Perhaps Rushdie’s attacker’s inexplicable behaviour (at around 49 min in) was simply wanting to impress his ‘more worldly’ influencers in Lebanon. Very ordinary, probably immature guy wanting to prove he could do something completely extraordinary and unexpected. The banality of evil again.
