Female Muslim Author Beaten, Sent
to Mental Hospital After Praising Rushdie
Dala recently published her first novel, What About Meera. Last month, at a literary festival in Durban, she said she "admired the writing of Arundhati Roy and Rushdie." Three days later, three men forced her car off the road, held a knife to her throat, banged her face with a brick and broke her cheekbone. They called her "Rushdie's bitch." Had a taxi not passed by, she is sure she "would've been stabbed."
