Islam is a religion of peace. Christianity has its fair share of extremists as well & always has! Tim McVey ring a bell???? The Crusades & Spanish Inquisition???How many Planned Parenthood bombings have there been? Doctors killed in the name of Jesus??? Millions have died in the name of Christ. What a shameful, closed-minded bunch of Fox News-watching fools making these comments here. No wonder the rest of the world thinks we as Americans are so utterly STUPID. ..far too many of us ARE.
@ebruceii Citizens of other countries never call themselves stupid, only holier than thou knuckleheads like yourself do. I could not care less what another country thinks of the great USA, they do just as much if not more crap than we do.
@mph122170 - You don't know me, dickbag. It's closed-minded uneducated, ignorant exceptionalist xenophobes like you that make the rest of the world hate us. Ugly American. lol. The dumbing down of our country continues...
@ebruceii I wasn't born in the U.S., so I can tell you with 100% certainty that the "rest of the world" does not respect Americans, like yourself, who slag their own country. Go buy some respect for yourself.
I have a difficult time believing that the man who wrote this song would condone or support terrorism. By all accounts, he is still very much a peaceful man. Please don't let your fears cloud your judgment.
@MikeyRed76 im sorry but to listen to a man as gifted as cat stephens who indeed was later known as yusuf islam is i smack in the face to everything sung about by this talented individual..... you clearly have no sense and thus should retract that statement
he becomes a muslim threfore now hes a terrorist? i dont understand that! thats why there are problems in the world ppl think like that! this man is a genius hes one of those ppl who believes that we become what we think about i can see that in the lyrics an when u can grasp that concept of life anything is possible life isnt about problems its about happiness an his happiness came from faith other ppl it comes from family hobbies friends places try thinking about ur happiness not judging others
nevr even mentioned his faith. I kmow where he donates his money and I know that he has offered to kill christians. I hate that it is true. The man who wrote peace train. But it is true however much you and I dont like it
The comments left on here are appauling. The problem with all the tensions between ethnics is the extremists. No one requires you to like a person because of their ethnicity, but either keep it to yourself or within close friends or learn to be more accomodating. Extremist muslims, have bombed places and destroyed lives. And extremist racists have also killed because of their intolerance and provocative nature. Both sides fuel each other. And before anyone replies, i'm non-donominational.
hating someone because of their religion is the same as hating them cause they're gay, you should hate someone for what they did not for who they are.
@Morahman7vnNo2 its there, you just gotta go look for it. theres a sweet folk scene bubbling around the uk. "johnny flynn" is one of the big dogs. "laura marling" is even in the charts.
This is actually a hybrid video - motion shots are from his videos to "Father And Son", "Banapple Gas", and "Remember The Days Of The Old School Yard", interspersed with stills. A&M put this together to promote the Footsteps In The Dark CD, because by 1984, Yusuf had long since put the business behind him. But, I think it works. ^_^
I remember this song from "My Name is Earl", I never heard it before that but I love it, its ageless, and thanks to the comercial it was featured in I was able to find out the info to get the mp3.. : )
I also just heard this song on the iphone commercial and had to listen to the whole song. I also listened to Cat Stevens in the 1970's, I'm 46 years old. Too bad he became a Moslem. Maybe if he became a Buddhist or a Hindu, I probably wouldn't have cared. It's a great song though.
so he made this song right after he converted to islam? and what's wrog if he did? i'm a muslin born in the US. i live to lOve and have fun, party with people! you just don;t be close minded anymore.. there are aLot of good people out there trust me! i love u whoever u are, and all i have for u is the respect! peace
Hahaha!! Can't you come up with something a little more creative than that?? Besides, can a woman be a "fag"?? I thought that only applied to men. Hahaha!!!! Now are you going to call me a "lesbian fag"?? Hahaha!!
Is this an old song or a new one?? I never heard it before the iphone commercial--and I wAS A HUGE CAT STEVENS FAN IN THE 1970'S! It's a really sweet song.. Is Cat Stevens still alive??..
oooh so i gues since barrack obama is part muslim hee's a terrorist to. and Muhammed Ali. Kareem abdul jabbar must be conspiring with Osama. now it makes sense
its time to watch harold and maude....
