Cat Stevens Biografie - How he becomes Yusuf Islam Mashallah

[vickikaravas]

Perhaps this is where he found happiness and peace. Regardless of what religion. And I neither agree or disagree with his beliefs. I just like his music.

I LOVE BEING A MUSLIM! SO LOVE IT!!! :)))

[elazar79]

The Cat with new 9 live!

[redshirtish]

Yusuf Islam has dropped Islam from his name

he refuses to wear arab muslim style clothes

and is drawing closer to his Christian roots

he was great until Islam made him into a bigot and a liar liken them

[rollingklouds]

@redshirtish "This was my decision. It makes the issue of identification personal, not political or religious. I felt it strange when journalists referred to me as, ‘Islam’. Reading things like, “Islam says … “ or something. That worried me. It’s a huge responsibility that I am not answerable for, so I felt nervous about that. I like to be known on first name terms!"

From his website; his own statement.

[csilverio123]

I hope he realizes the religion he embraced is responsible for most of the terrorism we see in the world today.It´s time to quit and do what he does best-MUSIC.

I remember the times in the 60's and 70's when his music was simply the best in the world.

[guymassive]

@csilverio123 And let me hope he realised the religion he used to practice is responsible for the most ill mannered world we live in, where young children are allowed to have boyfriends and girlfriends, where 12-15 year olds are getting pregnant. So thats the best religion? Where there is no respect for grown up, you answer back at your parents like its nothing. Where women practically walk naked on the streets, high rapes. Most child abuses, pedophiles like your Preists and Fathers. Enough.

[waelben2000]

simply a great man!

[Xaarnak]

Wow, you are ignorant...

There's a saying in my country (Macedonia - and it has nothing to do with Islam) and it goes:

get terribly ill and die, you poor excuse for a human being...

[redshirtish]

@Xaarnak what an ignorant muslim turd you are more threats from a muslim retard

can muslims feed themselves ? no the begging bowl is out to the west

can muslims make technology ? no

can muslims make medicine ?

islam is terribly ill and dying

and muslim turd may you crawl back up the camels arse you came from

when you have supported refugees and worked as i have done for all people then muslim turd you can speak

but you are a baby like a\ll muslimks stamping your feet grow up

[HeavenOman]

@redshirtish at least we Muslims are human beigns and act like HUMANS

[Xaarnak]

I would just love it if people would just stop shooting their mouths about religions (any religion at all) they know nothing about. I don't give a flying f*ck who told you about the said religion, if you do not know it just don't open your mouth and let your stupidity flow...

[redshirtish]

@Xaarnak you are a boy grow up but then muslims never grow up they are babies "I will kill you if you name your teddy bear mohammed" I will stamp my feet and kill you if you write books or make a cartoon opn my mohammed the muslims worship a man called mohammed the corrupt war monger who loved sex with many woman

what pathetic useless people who would have stopped Yusuf Islam from making music

[BatavianX]

@redshirtish definitely your religion shaped your attitude, let's see who loved sex with with many women now? we moeslims only have sex with our wife, open your eyes and be a witness of how gratefull of our prophet's teaching, what a proud father you have for his slanderer son.

May God have mercy on your soul.

[redshirtish]

@BatavianX muslims cruse the streets of UK for sex with underage girls

Arabs go to west /east for sex and gay sex road stops in Pakistan provide little boys for anal sex Kohmeni of Iran describes how muslims may take young children and rub their penises on them

Mohammed at 56 forced his penis into a Aisha he killed men then forced his penis into the widows as sex slaves he wrote the fantasy about && virgins and other sex acts in his imaginary "paradise"

Christians do not accept unmarried sex

[BatavianX]

@redshirtish, ("Christians do not accept unmarried sex" - @redshirtish)

Don't do it then!

[BatavianX]

@redshirtish, oops sorry, I mean "Stop doing it!"

[redshirtish]

Yusuf Islam could never have become a pop star under islam muslims hate music and dancing muslim gave nothing to the world for over 500 years because islam suppressed all free thinking killing all intellectual knowledge

muslims now are dependant on all technology and science from the secular and christian west

what has islam ever done?

even a hippy like Cat Stevens is turned into a hate filled killer by islam

[muzun46]

Allah is peace. 

[redshirtish]

@muzun46 "allah is peace" ??? if he is why are muslims killing their own and others?

God is not "allah" the pagan arab moon god

and why has allah made a hippie like Cat Stevens in to a hating Yusuf Islam who wants to kill writers and stone women to death

[kahina955]

thanks sister 4 beautiful video i lovet djazaki allaho khaire yusuf is the best machallah i love you for ever ahabak- allah

[Xaarnak]

@regina1958: it is all the same God. Allah means "Al Illah" which can be translated as "The God" as opposed to the multi-God beliefs that were in power up until the coming of the Islam in the region. So it's all actually "one God", all the rest is differences that people came up with...

[redshirtish]

@Xaarnak islam is a late sect with false beliefs that copied the Jews and Christians they were pagans at the time of Jesus and worshipped the moon god still on top of their buildings today

could Yusuf Islam become a pop star under islam? NO

[Xaarnak]

@redshirtish are you in a BIG mistake or what..?

I'll just tell you to do your research BEFORE you speak (write, whatever) next time. You come off as a very, VERY ignorant person, and not knowing whether you really are so, I reiterate to do your research, please... The things you write are utter crap...

I am a Muslim and just for the record - no one is worshiping any moons, the whole Islam (or Hicri) calendar is based on the moon cycles and not Earth revolving around the Sun, hence the moon.

[redshirtish]

@Xaarnak listen muslim I was reading the quran in 1970 I was in istanbul and became a muslim and left in 1982 when I realized the hatred behind your "faith"

what I write is this does Yusuf Islam or you a muslim have the right to threaten people with death or stoning?

No you have no right and your belief system is full of fake qurans and false information read the bible you ignorant arrogant muslim

what has islam ? nothing it depends on the west for everyhting

muslims are retarded

[rastanacer]

allah ybarek im muslim dont panic ; )

[dararac]

what a lucky man>

[NoorminAllah]

It is amazing how many people in the entertainment business have/are becoming muslim. Not just that, but people are seeing that through this whole "war on islam/muslims" that is going on, that islam is really the truth.The more they try to make islam look and etc. the more people are coming to islam. Allahu Akbar!

[sparkleangel77]

Thank you so much broadcastislam for sharing this fantastic video.

Jazakallahu Khair!

[xxBosnaRulezxx]

he changed his life because before this he was meterialistic and his songs were promoting shaitan its why he said "i swam in the devil lake"

[rita1902]

ii love youuuuuuuuuuuuu

[fallingpearl]

He is still the same man

He still believes in the same God / Allah

He is still one of a kind

God bless his soul!

I will always love him

[Abdibarwaani]

Allah there is No God But He

[syetamir]

God bless him and his family inshaAllah!thanx for sharing!!

[regina1958]

What suprised me the most is that he believes in our God, they just call him Allah, and I've heard God called by many names. There will be those who disagree, but then just ask them what they have done for humanity in the name of God. Their bible is like ours, it has the sme apostles and so forth, so God Bless yusf Islam (Cat Stevens)

[siqrid]

He believes in the same God, yes, but the muslims' Holy Script is quite different from the Bible. It's not nearly the same religion... All my blessings to both you and Cat!

[billaaaaaa]

siqrid i agree with you!

[billaaaaaa]

wht are you chattin bout?

[BernietheShredder]

@regina1958 What's more is that in order to become a Muslim, you must EMBRACE Judeism and Christianity - something Jews and Christians have a hard time doing with Islam. It's not meant to be its own religion - more like an extension of the Abrahamian religions...too bad people don't care too much for it ever since 9/11 and all these other things like "The Satanic Verses" which was published in 1989...to quote the man himself: "why must we go on hating? Why can't we live as one?"

[redshirtish]

@BernietheShredder nonsense muslims do not embrace Judeism or Christianity since the Quran finds them both in error and the people should be attacked no muslim gave nothing for over 500 years because islam suppressed all free thinking killing all intellectual knowledge

muslims now are dependant on all technology and science from the secular and christian west

what has islam ever done?

even a hippy like Cat Stevens is turned into a hate filled killer by islam

@regina1958

One finds a lot of semi-bright folks on these pages. However your ignorant comment takes the cake. Put on your burka, zip it, and take your place in the bottom of the barrel.

[regina1958]

I Love this man, then, in between, and now. He is brilliant in every sense of the word. To look at him is like looking at a bright shiney light, he is definitely gifted with the light, and the love if our God. He has done so many good things. To be called a Philanthropist is better than being called a rock star I would LOVE to be a Philanthropist.

[jackscholesbramall]

regina i couldnt agree with you more who's god doesnt matter he was blessed and thankfully shared it with us

[mariologoin]

i love Cyprus!

[DallasHammster]

Yusuf's new pop album Roadsinger will be released next month! ^_^ It looks like it will be even better than An Other Cup (2006).

[jackscholesbramall]

brilliant bio of a wnderful performer then and now

[regina1958]

Oh how I agree with you Jackcholesbramall! He is brilliant in every sense of the word. When you look at him he is brilliant like a shiny light, then we he opens his mouth to sing, pray or just speak, it's like ever word from his mouth is a gift from God.

[piano6861]

Interesting!

[EAI4TOKYO]

Thanks for sharing

[plattform5163]

Thanks for sharing this nice and interesting video!

[4rainbowed]

So this is the first segment in the Vh-1 Behind the Music -anyone know what year he did this, or if it's available in print? I need it not in video form, but in writing if possible for the Wikipedia.

[sidensvans54]

Fantastic..

Love and peace...

[4rainbowed]

The force that propels his soul has taken him on a extradorinary journey. A poetic troubadour whose songs spoke to generations. But while the writer's introspective lyrics pointed him to his journey's end...In a relentless quest for his true identity he changed his persona, his sound, and even his name

[LoveLotusHa]

and how cute! Wonderful inspirational story teller. Thank you for uploading.
