The little man with the fatwah...
Because of the fatwah upon him, Salman Rushdie was hiding somewhere on the West coast of Scotland. I don’t know exactly where and don’t care… he’s not there now.
Visiting my family, I was flying up to Prestwick International with the paddy airline.

Boarding the plane, I was asked not to take any seats in the first 3 rows so I sat aisle side on the 4th row.

Just before the doors closed, enter the wee beardie himself and about 4 bodyguards who sat in the first row whilst the bodies placed themselves strategically around him.

It was all I could to restrain myself from shouting “Allahu Akabar” during takeoff and watch them all crap themselves.

If I had, I doubt I would be here to tell the tale…. Either pokey or a bullet…
I did manage to get between him and his guards as we walked through the terminal... they did panic a bit to the point where one ran to get between us...
