I am certain the things he said about Islam cause me no loss of sleep.
I despise the false religion.
About his being a decent man?
I remember thinking at the time that he was another whining liberal who thought the words he said would have no consequences.
With Mikey, its his actions which will bring the consequences. i.e. ostracism etc.
I am not really saying Rushdie murdered anyone or has really committed any crime at all.
I also don't like him.
Whatever....as long as it makes sense to you.
