(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, 17 AUG - "He attacked Islam, he is not a good person".
Salman Rushdie's assailant said this in an exclusive New York Post interview from prison.
"I don't like that man, he attacked the beliefs of the Muslims, their system of values", said Hadi Matar again saying to "respect the ayatollah, I think he is a great person".
Salman Rushdie's assailant denied having been in contact with Iranian Pasdarans but admitted, in an exclusive interview with the New York Post, that he was "inspired" by the attack by watching the writer's videos on Youtube.
