Jewish security experts warned the Jewish Chronicle on Thursday that the stabbing of author Salman Rushdie may spark copycat attacks on Jews around the world.

“The Iranian regime has now inspired a lone wolf attack for the first time. It wasn’t directed by Tehran, it was carried out by an individual with a knife, inspired by its rhetoric,” said David Patrikarakos to the JC.

Patrikarakos, a British Jewish journalist, is the author of “Nuclear Iran: Birth of An Atomic State,” and “War in 140 Characters: How Social Media Is Reshaping Conflict in the Twenty-First Century.”
