The authorities are still searching for the Lebanese Shiite Muslim’s motive in stabbing author Salman Rushdie. I hope they figure it out soon. The stabber is happy to help.

The New Jersey man who allegedly stabbed Salman Rushdie in Western New York last week praised Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini in an exclusive jailhouse interview with The Post on Wednesday — and admitted he didn’t think the author would survive the attack.

Jewish doctors beat Allah once again.

The 24-year-old was mum on whether he was inspired by the late Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issuing a fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie’s death in 1989 over the author’s book “The Satanic Verses,” citing a warning by his defense attorney.

“I respect the ayatollah. I think he’s a great person. That’s as far as I will say about that,” Matar said, noting he only “read like two pages” of Rushdie’s controversial novel.

Who needs to read when you’ve got the Koran and a fistful of fatwas?

“I don’t like the person. I don’t think he’s a very good person,” he said about Rushdie. “I don’t like him. I don’t like him very much.

“He’s someone who attacked Islam, he attacked their beliefs, the belief systems.”

Matar said little else about Rushdie specifically but complained about conditions in the jail, where he is being held without bail. “A lot of the food they have given me is not allowed in my religion to eat,” he said

Hopefully, CAIR and Kirsten Clarke at DOJ are on this. Muslim terrorists must get their Halal food.
