Kind of at odds withRobertson: You don't think that this man deserves to die?
Y. Islam: Who, Salman Rushdie?

Y. Islam: Yes, yes.
Robertson: And do you have a duty to be his executioner?
Y. Islam: Uh, no, not necessarily, unless we were in an Islamic state and I was ordered by a judge or by the authority to carry out such an act - perhaps, yes.
[Some minutes later, Robertson on the subject of a protest where an effigy of the author is to be burned]

Y. Islam: I would have hoped that it'd be the real thing

My fave cover version has always been Walk on By , by the Stranglers.
I also prefer the Futureheads version of Hounds of Love to Kates original - Much to Mr P's disgust
I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
