I looked up Prof Marandi who appears on this show on Wiki. Apparently he said about the attack on Salman Rushdie "I won't be shedding tears for a writer who spouts endless hatred & contempt for Muslims & Islam." This seems to be a true claim. That's a serious black mark if he wishes to be taken seriously by any neutral observer. Possibly later he might have been able to contextualise his remark, I dion't know, but I'd be happier if our professor was a bit more sympathetic to Rushdi's own humanity and his right to free speech.
