[QUOTE=GeoFisher;500716]Cat Stevens is a TOOL.

Not only that, he is a radical and has been tied to terrorism and financing terrorism.

I'm sure others such as (well well just leave it up to them) will be abe to shed some light on this, but just what, where, are your references to back up that statement?

(time out, the Geo is searching on the internet for references, might take him awhile....)

On February 21, 1989, Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens) addressed students at Kingston University in London about his conversion to Islam and was asked about the controversy in the Muslim world and the fatwa calling for Salman Rushdie's execution (for his book "The Satanic Verses"). He replied, "He must be killed. The Qur'an makes it clear - if someone defames the prophet, then he must die."

I've always loved his music, and still do. Hate his politics, though.

Thanks for the response , I was hoping someone (you) would search out the some of the specifics. He expressed his opinion, not unlike many of us on this board?

Too late to edit, so's I guess I've to repost the with rest of the article you referenced, [I][B] Newspapers quickly denounced what was seen as Yusuf Islam's support for the killing of Rushdie and the next day Yusuf released a statement saying that he was not personally encouraging anybody to be a vigilante,[SUP][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Stevens'_comments_about_Salman_Rushdie#cite_note-Yentob_interview-1"][2][/URL][/SUP] and that he was only stating that blasphemy is a capital offense according to the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur%27an"]Qur'an[/URL][/B][/I][I][B].[/B][/I]

Now, for those who really want to know more of the man: Check out the interviews (links below)

God bless and enlighten the G man...

I can very well remember the music of Cat Stevens when I was serving in the U.S. Army. I always like to denote "U.S." so everyone will know which army I was in!!:rolleyes:

It didn't upset me when he converted to Islam, that is his right and something I served to protect. However, I did and still do take offense at calling for the death of another because it upsets Allah in some way.

I haven't listened to Cat Stevens since then. As far as I'm concerned, he can get right on stage with the Dixie Chicks and they can all sing their little hearts out to an empty audience.

And think you for your service. I do mean that.

To those who have served in the past, those serving in todays armed services and those who will serve in the future, my thanks:

[QUOTE=GeoFisher;500665]First, I'm too old........

Second.....if my daughters wanted to choose the military, I would support them hands down. As it is, they are both in college, pursuing degrees to hopefully make the world a better place.

Third......How about you start taking your nutty pills again.....better yet, you better start double dosing, because your sounding a little nuttier than normal.

Fourth.......I've already self reported to Peter, so no sense in you whining to him that I hurt your feelings.

Get over it.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
