Salman Rushdie attack

[edit]

With reference to the recently added and removed material, this clearly occurred within the Ashura time period in 2022, but the timing appears coincidental. The central element to the story is that the perpetrator has some sort of Iranian Shia fandom backstory is and saw that Salman Rushdie planned a public talk. The attack is not clearly connected to Ashura in any way, other than in its timing. As an illustration, attacks perpetuated between 25 December and 5 January are not "Christmas attacks" because they take place within the 12 days of Christmas. The existing section of this page about terrorist attacks is focused on attacks on actual Ashura processions, where the connection is more evident.

Can we remove the “Terrorist attacks during” section?

[edit]

No other celebration has a section like this and to be honest it’s a bit brutal Link69388 (talk) 18:24, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"fasting"?

[edit]

in the Sunni section is mentioned 'special dishes' which makes me wonder if 'fasting' is a typo for 'feasting'. 'Feasting' would fit better with a joyous day. ~2026-12147-71 (talk) 02:58, 22 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
