i do not like the muslim faith ,or nothing about it at all, but i adore the music of cat stephens,and would go as far as to say that he alone is a much better musician than many whole groups of the 60,s and 70,s i think he alone was better than the beatles.
i think cat stevens was in the good way & he was searchig the truth & true knowledge , so he found it when he saw the meanings in Quran so he was found forever & he become a muslim so he wasn't searching money or to be famous but he searched truth ::::)
He was a CHRISTIAN when he was "CAT STEVENS". He is of course free to practice any religion he chooses. But it is a fact while he performed as Cat Stevens he was a devout Christian.
I am amazed by the lyrics, the thoughts expressed and the music, rhythm, such perfection.. Cat is truly brilliant and I don't care what religion he is, I love the music he gives the world
What does/should it matter what his personal beliefs are...he is a human that expresses his feelings through his music...maybe more people should do the same in their own way...
If someone has a problwm with Cat Steven being a muslim then they can stop watching his videos and stop irritating the people who are socially intelligent enough to accept that he has found a faith that is facing a great deal of predjudice, Cat Stevens?Yusuf Islam, who cares either way hes bloody brilliant
@redshirtish Get off your pulpit. I bet you don't realize that the privileges you enjoy enslave 10 people to the bonds of poverty every day. He has done more to raise money and help his fellow man (regardless of religion)
You should be aware that Cat / Yusuf supports terrorism..
Cat betrayed the world when he performed at HAMAS fund-raisers (disguised as Islamic Charities - money traced to Al Qaida) ,
Cat openly and ON-FILM agreed with Iran's "fatwa" by to kill an author of a book, (Salman Rushdie), and Yusuf has donated tens of thousands of his own cash to HAMAS charities ( the money traced to weapons ). This is even more betraying , because Cat previously wrote "Peace Train" ! (B4 he converted ) - Allah akbar.
@Rastafire589 I only saw your comment now. Actually when I was a teenager Cat Stevens used to be very popular. As far as I can remember anyway, I'm talking about the seventies. Cheers.
So far I've spent the morning listening to Cat all over YT. Musically gifted, no question about it. It goes very well with coffee. : )
The words to this song seem so utopic given the horrendous state of mistrust and antagonism our world has developed into since this release. Maybe people of the world should rise up and demand a peaceful resolution to all our problems? Or am I dreaming? Maybe I need another coffee?
I always find these feeble infantile attempts to annoy cat stevens' fans amusing =P it just shows a general level of ignorance and makes yourself look like a bit of a twat =D
Yusuf supported the order to KILL Rushdie. It's hypocritical, because Cat wrote "Peace Train". And only an idiot would deny Cat said it, because it was ON FILM.
Also, Cat has performed at fundraisers for Al Qaida.
I was stunned by Cat's talent when I saw the movie, "Harold and Maude". My brother brought the VHS home one Sunday afternoon around 1980 and insisted the family watch it. From the opening tune, "Don't be Shy", as Bud Cort hung himself in the parlour, I was absolutely striken. Cat continues to be my favourite road tunes artist when I go on a long trip - he gives me a lot to reflect on and gives me a solid orientation to what is important in this life - love.
Yusuf supported the order to KILL Rushdie. It's hypocritical, because Cat wrote "Peace Train". And only an idiot would deny Cat said it, because it was ON FILM.
You again? Get a life. That was TWENTY years ago. Cat has explained himself, Rushdie is still alive and rich, and the only one who can't seem to get over it is YOU. What were you, like twelve or something when that went down? You can grow up now.
I also fell in love with him at about the same age, & am the same age as leslietrav, now! I don't think I'll ever get over him. He exudes such warmth & vitality! Even though my family was athiestic, I believed in God when I heard his music and gazed at the huge picture inside the album, transfixed by his eyes, his persona, everything. I now have a spiritual belief system, ACIM, & believe that there are many paths back to God. He chose his. I love these clips, though! Thanks so much for posting!
I fell in love with Cat Stevens when I was a 10 year old girl, I am 46 now and love his music still. When he became a muslim I didn't even know what that meant, really, as most people don't. Now all these years later I have learned about true Islam, not what people assume from TV and politics etc., and I have become a muslim myself. Cat Stevens remains better than ever. I still love his old music better although getting used to the new.
Cat Stevens is amazing and still is. I'm so happy he returned to music again. And he's working with another album as well:D *my heart is filled with pure happines, bless him*
look dudes, stop going on about this shit and that, just f'ing enjoy the music or go and listen to something you like, I'm so sick of reading comments that have nothing to do with the music.Want to talk politics, wrong show buddy!
I pray Allah, bless them. These words and music I'd love to see more!! Yusuf, please consider this Changes 1V will be done again.. and Alun. We always noticed your wonderful contributions that always went above and beyond that of musicians. We always noticed!!! Sending you our love and appreciation; it was just amazing and thrilling to see Alun and Jean playing with Yusuf once again after decades! Praying Allah bless you all. --dovetrees
Oh, good grief. The BLOND one that's Alun Davies, who you'll see in all "Cat" & most new Yusuf video- inconspicuous-harmony, guitar fingerwork, closest friend.. Anyone know the Afro-American brother? Jimi died before this and ran his OWN show, make no mistake! Jean-Rousell, at organs and Gerry, on drums, still all friends, play from 1972-79 and again, now on his new album, and in some concerts. I don't have friends who'd last 28 yrs who'd do that.
I like the man's music and remember all his music as a teenager...Loved it then...Love the music now...

I have no problem with muslims but I have problems with a muslim like Cat Stevens who wanted another man dead or burned and woman stoned for adultry
sorry you "easy listening" is disturbed
had this Cat Stevens been born a muslim there would be no music
and had he become a Buddhist or Hindu Jew etc there would be no death threats for "insulting" the "prophet"
many people care you can hide you head in the sand but that does not mean muslims have stopped killing people for writing books
