This is the same Yusuf Islam who threatened Rushdie and his book, Yusuf Islam on TV moderator asked him if, in my role as a commissioning editor Channel 4 UK, I would contemplate turning The Satanic Verses into a film. I said that I would judge the cinematic merits of the script, and that no other consideration would rule it out. Kalim Siddiqui and Yusuf Islam snarled, warning that the sentence of death on Rushdie would extend to all those who forwarded his book in any way. Farrukh Dhondy
Australia An MP Kavanagh said Yusuf Islam Cat Stevens, should be denied visa unless he retracts his threats against author Salman Rushdie.
"He said that Salman Rushdie should be killed,"
"He said he would like to see Salman Rushdie burned, and not just an effigy of him.
OZ is for freedom democracy and peace
"If someone wants to come here and make a lot of money, like Mr Yusuf does, then they should be required to denounce threats against people on the basis of their opinion," he added.
Thank you for posting this vid of Cat - never heard it before.. was an abrupt ending , I know it by heart ! He is a very wise man and I personally think he must make an AWESOME father and hope he has a 9 - 5 r if he needs it- I doubt it- This world already has too many WORLD LEADERS- For I believe we are all one and the same, just need to find our path and follow it. Some are longer than others,although you sure learn you lessons until you do! AHman to that.! Namaste - Jojo
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.
This song melts my heart and gives me chills at the same time; the lyrics, the music, is so beautiful. I have always loved Cat/Yusuf and followed along after him on his spiritual journey.
I saw a 60 minute program whereby Cat informed the audience that this song alone was the determining factor in his becoming muslim. That may have been during 1995-6. But race doesn't matter whether we are black, white or other. There's only one race, "THE HUMAN RACE" We all have the same colour blood and we may need to share it one day. Give it and often.
thanks for this, you have some great picks for your videos. Yep, s shame re the half song, but then it will stop people from downloading eh? btw goldentoothpick. Guy Sebastian wrote has a song "Do Life" that is very Cat Stevens in nature, on his single, Taller Stronger Better. (My wife was actually lucky to have a vid. of it very rare to hear him sing it live).
one of the most beautiful songs of the XX Century... one of the msot spiritual songs I've ever heard... LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing, it doesn't matter it's incomplete!

@juiceis7777777 Islam Sharia Law dictates that those who "insult" the "prophet " should be killed
Yusuf Islam has no right in British society to call for death threats against a man who wrote a book
it is sickening that Cat Stevens can sing about peace and love yet when the muslims get him he turns to hate others

@goldenToothpick ....and the 'incomplete video,' of the song, only serves the message of the song.
After all, aren't we all, constantly, 'On the road to find out?'
Thanks.
