It seems to me that every religion has something that is both good and bad it is just the way we decide to deal with it that makes the difference.

well all i have 2 say is i very much enjoy listening 2 cat stevens or yusuf however JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUE 1 & only GOD so 4 some reason u have been in my heart 2 pray 4 . The BIBLE says unless u r born again u cannot c the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN !!!!!!! its all there in red ,black & white .I am all 4 peace & happiness but we wont c it until CHRIST returns & creates the new heaven & the new earth , until then pray 4 salvation 4 those who do not believe & 4 JESUS quick return !!!!!!!! AMEN
@pitchrat88 tell me how christianity is anymore plausible than islam? there both based on fairy tales and lies! i mean read what you wrote you sound like a fucking crazy person. the truth is theres no way to prove that one religion is right and one is wrong. please start believe in logic and reason rather than story books that were written thousands of years ago by men who wanted an easy way to explain life and offer false hope that when we die we don't just rot in the fucking ground!!!!
@pitchrat88 I'm a muslim and all muslim know that Jusus is a live, and we all believe in Jusus. and he will come down to earth then will be kingdom of heaven((we dont call it kinfdom of heaven)) as you say it :)
@QPRLAD86 That is a lie, he's here on youtube saying it verbally in person! It's pretty difficult to misquote that! Do you reallyt want me to dig up a link or can you find it yourself?
@alkalinez Actually NO I'm not a "retard" and YES I have done my research! He is quoted ON VIDEO saying that Rushdie should be killed! So if you can't abide by the FACT that islam is a cult of hate, ignorance, violence, intolerance and pedophilia then YOU better do some research. It is time to put an end to false political correctness and speak out against cults that engage in these practises. If Cat comes under criticism for that well then so be it!
786 Mashallah! What a peaceful person he is - Allahu alim. May the Lord of Heavens and Earths protect him and his family and make them sucsessful here and hereafter.
@thinkmoresayless My friends have lost jobs as a direct result of the 2012 Olympics. While I'm at least still at work in London, I'm massively overtaxed, paying out the arse for trains to get into work (to fund the games) and the trains themselves rarely run on time, so I'm at constant risk of being fired! So while Yusuf makes good music, it's cynical to apply it to an issue that will sweep a full generation of workers under the rug to make a city look healthy. But have fun with your 'message'!
Singing in Tel Aviv while babies are starving to death because of Tel Aviv's evil blockade is NOT peace, it's sheer stupidity and utter disregard for those under siege !!!!
I cannot support Cat because he donates to Hezbolah and Hamas. And Cat is a hypocrite for agreeing with Iran's fatwa to kill the author Rushdie. No one should support Cat, , , except Muslim fanatics.
I hope you learn the truth about what happened between now & 48... + like a God-fearing jew, a believer in God.. the creator of you & I... you then look to correct the injustice... like any believer of God must do!
We are all instructed not to let injustices or evils continue.
Seek the truth as Moshe pbuh would... and then work for justice to prevail & truth to be known.
Become like Jeff Halper & Ilan Pappe.. work to redeem Israel! by recognizing what has happend
Recognize what happened in 48 & ask for PEACE now... true peace.. and ask for an end to occupation & brutal injustice against the palestinians. then my friend, my brother, we will ALL live in peace. and Avraham pbuh will smile with such grace :-)
he will walk towards his 3 greatest descendents & children... in blood & in faith... Yeshua, Moshe & Muhammad... and he shal lhug them & God too will smile.
God bless them All. They are adoring servants of El
Your face is still so pure and kind. Your voice is as amazing as the first time I heard you when my older brothers introduced your music to me. I've never left you.
peace to the world , peace to all religions , peace to mankind , forget our differences work on our simalarities , may god , yhwa , allah shiva budda what ever you call god may he give the light of peace
he found out that that opinion could not be supported and that many musical instruments were brought to Spain by Muslum musicians, such as the violin and Spanish guitar developed by the Moors.
Al Quaeda has given me a real dim view of Islam, and I really don't understand it, but this guy is incredibly talented. I saw an interview a couple of years ago where he said only percussion music was allowed in Islam. I wonder what changed?
Why can't people just enjoy the music, and forget the political/cultural bullshit. Cat Stevens wrotre this song before he converted and devoted himself to Islam, and this song is about a peaceful world, one in which all can live together. Listen to the freaking lyrics.
The man of peace, Yusuf Islam, said that rather than go to a demonstration to burn an effigy of the author Salman Rushdie, ''I would have hoped that it'd be the real thing.''
He also said that if Mr. Rushdie turned up at his doorstep, ''I might ring somebody who might do more damage to him than he would like.''
''I'd phone the Ayatollah Khomeini and tell him exactly where this man is,'' said Mr. Islam, who also stated that he stood by his comments.
If someone cussed or said wrong things about your mum or a member of you family, wouldnt u want to do the same? im sure you would want to do worse especially if the person has said wrong things and made the person look like something their not. well prophet
muhammed PBUH is more than a mother/father to muslims so you should look at the other side before you judge what someone says.
go search about prohet muhammed pbuh and you will no longer believe the stupidity of people that know nothing about such a wonderful man. and may Allah guide you to the truth,
So, I take that if someone pisses me off, and offends my spiritual/philosophical beliefs, it's alright for me to sanction that person's death, even if I really don't mean it. Thanks for clearing up that untidy aspect of the balladeer of peace.
what are you talking about?i wasn't stating a definition of peace but i was just explaining why people like yusuf islam are angry.you can interpret it in the way you like.
Check out this site plus /watch?v=N7KnWHDFsjo for the real thing. All I am saying is that Stevens ain't such a wonderful man, and since turning to Islam has shown a violent streak that is a deception and belies his peaceful facade.
after watching that video, it implies nothing of a violent type as that stated in the article. its funny how people can turn such a good way of answering a question to 'evil'.the video was a scenario doesnt mean its the real thing. thankyou for posting the video because after i watched it i no longer thought what he said was wrong as you stated in the article because its not like he said oh i want to kill him, he was answering a scenario..
so grow up.if you said something violent,would i refer it back to your religion? no,so why do people refer violence back to Islam?Islam is the most peaceful way of living,and you can't say its not until you have tried it,in this case you probably havent so dont tell me its not peaceful
Freedom of speech is great. However, it must be used responisibly. Rushdie will have known what was to happen. He was disrespuctful and also caused many many needless deaths around the world thanks to his book. I think that reason alone is enough to hate him. He didn't agree with the way Islam worked, wich is fine. But he chose to ridicule it instead of documenting what he thought was wrong. I am not muslim, but understand what Yusuf Islam means.
