Google yusuf islam rushdie for various accounts.

Correct. I don't think you'll find many "terrorists" who are shy about standing behind
and advocating the "he should die" principle. Probably not the most politic thing for good 'ol Yusef to have said, but the true fanatics, uh, I mean "believers", would never disavow the principle that he should (and, what's more, each one of them would happily volunteer to make him) die.
