Keith Vaz -
Melanie Phillips:
The importance of [the Salman Rushdie] episode and the no less significant reaction to it by the British establishment can hardly be overestimated. Such scenes were unprecendented in Britain...Yet not one person who called for Rushdie to be killed was prosecuted for incitement to murder...
Not even the Labour member for Leicester East.
"In Leicester, the Labour MP Kieth Vaz led a three-thousand-strong demonstration intent on burning an effigy of Rushdie, and carried a banner showing Rushdie's head, complete with horns and fangs, superimposed on a dog."
He told the 3000 Muslims assembled, "Today we celebrate one of the great days in the history of Islam and Great Britain" and attacked the Labour Party as a "godless party".
In February 1990, Vaz wrote in The Guardian newspaper urging Salman Rushdie not to publish the book in paperback because "there is no such thing as absolute freedom of speech".
