"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling has received a death threat after showing support for Salman Rushdie – who was attacked in New York right before giving a lecture.

Rowling took to Twitter Friday and wrote, "Horrifying news. Feeling very sick right now. Let him be ok." After the supportive tweet, a Twitter user named Meer Asif Aziz replied with: "Don’t worry you are next."Aziz is reportedly an Iran-backing Islamist extremist praising Rushdie’s attacker, according to the Daily Mail.

He also described himself on Twitter as a student, social, political and research activist, based in Karachi, and born in Pakistan in 1999.

Aziz’s Twitter account has been deleted since. Rowling has tweeted: "@TwitterSupport any chance of some support?" with a screenshot of the death threat.
