  • Lol Anyone else come here for the music? I knew that there would be some sorta religious war going on on this video but sheesh! enjoy the music guys, who gives a flying fuck about stuff that may have happened thousands of years ago! This is not a video about a religion being preached, This is a video about preaching that most wonderful of all things: Good Music. So lets stop with the religious comments and keep the comments about the music as thats what this video is all about

  • @truthfullcomentator Hear Hear! People's imaginary friends cause more trouble than they're worth...

  • Fantastic interpretation. I love Yusuf Islam's beautiful and calming voice. MashaAllah.

  • I only wish I had not 'lost' 6 cats in six months because of a psycho neighbor 'possessed' by her dead father...we won't even talk about YABA...BUT! I do get peace from your music..so thank you lah...;) It is indeed a 'Wild World".....xox

  • @goeastyounggal What are you talking about?… I couldn’t stop laughing

  • This song is nothing to with any religion organised or otherwise. It's written from the point of view of a man abusing the woman he's with and asking forgiveness for the unforgiveable. That's why the rockier, more heartfelt versions (The Animals' original, Elvis Costello for instance) bring out the characteristics of the song better.

  • Love

    

  • Nice cover Cat.

  • Tigersforchrist is hilarious! He is so positive the quran is full of nonsense ( which of course it is), but it believes the bible with all his heart. if he read his goddamn bible cover to cover just once, he would see how terrible god is. If he existed at all. I feel sorry for the sheep for being under the spell of religion. The is no god which makes everything else make sense. Peace

  • @mikemfd232 the Christian God is messed up? how on earth did you come to this conclusion? what part of the Bible would lead you to believe this? Christianity isn't a religion it's a relationship, yes i think the Koran is a fraud of the Bible, but the Bible is truth.

  • @archmage5245 If you assert the bible is full of poetry and stories handed down from man, then god must be false right? If you assert that the bible in it's current form (kjv, etc.) is the inerrant word of god then I can point out several verses which show god is an ass. I am not sure if your goal is to defend your belief, or open your mind to the possibility there is not, and never was, a god. I was a very devout believer for nearly 40 years. I am not insulting your position.

  • @mikemfd232 I'd love to hear the verses, and your proof that the bible is a runoff of poetry, however im quite sure that God is not "an ass" but I am quite curios as to why you think so.

  • @archmage5245 So you think the Koran is a fraud. how about Scientology? Judaism? Were you born into a christian family, or did you spend years seeking truth and knowledge on the subject. Do you see the problem here? There is a good chance you spent less time looking for the problems of christianity than you did with your most recent car purchase. I was a believer for nearly 40 years and understand how hard it is to look at god objectively, having 'felt' him at times. peace to you.

  • @mikemfd232 actually i spend quite a but of time listening to people claim there are faults in my belief, and then doing research and correcting them, I've found nothing suggesting the bible is invalid and plenty suggesting its validity. the choice is quite simple. Muhamed wasn't even literate, he had to listen to what the angel (that he thought was a demon at first) said, and then find someone to write it down. Scientology was created by a science fiction writer, who said (hold on out of room)

  • @mikemfd232 who said, and i quote "You wanta make real money, you gotta start a religion!" which is funny seing that Scientology is insanely expensive, trust me I spend a whole lot more time examining the bible then i do examining cars. I spend quite a bit of time trying to find flaws in my religion, examining for "kinks in my armor" but i have found none. if you can see any, i'd love to hear about it.

  • @archmage5245Are you sincerely asking what portions of the bible are vile?If so I can email to you all of the nonsense that I found particularly horrid. Including god calling for stoning in many cases that don't call for it- quarrelsome wives/teens, non-virgins, gays, those who work on the sabbath. Also, god was unhappy with us so he destroyed the population except for a very few people multiple times.Does that seem like divine to you? there is so much more, are you willing learn?

  • @mikemfd232 "destroyed because he wasn't happy with them" It goes a wee bit farther than that. they were murderers, rapists, thieves, they were evil, they were detestable, so yes, they were wiped out. what would you have done if you brought all thees people in to creation and they were ruining the lives of the only good people in existence? wait it out? i would hope not. you'd do something about it. and please give me examples of were God called for thees things, verses if you can.

  • @archmage5245 (cont)Everything in life makes complete sense- it's all probability based. By the way, I am atheist in regards to all supernatural claims: ghosts, fairies, guardian angels, satanism, etc. In a few hundred years time there will probably be new religions that spring up that are more plausible to "modern man". Realize that you are vastly more intelligent than the authors of the bible. You know that the earth is round, that bacteria cause disease, etc.

  • @mikemfd232 actually the bible says both that the world is round and goes in depth about germs, which is funny because at the time no one knew about either of thees things. the Israelites were instructed to wash themselves and their clothes in running water if they had a bodily discharge, if they came in contact with another person's discharge, or if they had touched a dead human or animal carcass. Also, look up Numbers 19:3-22, Leviticus. 11:1-47; 15:1-33, Deuteronomy 23:12).

  • @archmage5245 You are correct that, in short, they were detestable. But don't you think god knew what would happen? Was he really surprised by his creations? I struggled with so many fallacies that made my god look like a complete buffoon, until I started to look into the very roots of Christianity.It is all myth and a form of mind control. My mother (70 yrs.) I spoke about this in depth and she said it doesn't matter if god is made up, she will always believe. So there you go.

  • Love your beautiful voice and music Yusuf. Loved you as Cat and still love you as Yusuf. Thank you for being such a caring, loving and giving soul.

  • superbe ! mais arrète de nous les briser avec l'islam de ces tarés . Chantes, composes, joues, tu as un merveilleux talent, mais laisse tomber cette religion de merde . ( comme les autres d'ailleurs!)

  • ISLAM IS HELL! ALLAH DOES NOT EXIST! MUHAMMAD PLAGIARIZED MOST OF THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE & CALLED IT THE QURAN! HE TOOK OUT PARTS OF THE BIBLE & ADDED HORRIBLE STUFF & LIES LIKE KILL THE INFIDELS, 72 VIRGINS & OTHER JUNK CRAP! MUHAMMAD CALLED JESUS CHRIST A GREAT PROPHET & VIRGIN BIRTH! CHRIST WHO CAME 700YRS BEFORE HIM SAID THE BIBLE IS SEALED & CLOSED & ALL OTHERS ARE FALSE PROPHETS (MUHAMMAD IS FALSE & EVIL!) RUN FROM ISLAM TO THE ONLY TRUTH JESUS CHRIST FOR ETERNAL LIFE VISIT cbn.com /podcast

  • @tigersforchrist The only thing that's closed is your mind and heart. Believe what you want and stop yelling! 

  • @tigersforchrist any religion is for mentally retarded.

  • @casperado666 Galileo Galilei, Rene Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, Gregor Mendel, William Thomson Kelvin, Max Planck and Albert Einstein. they were all quite religious, saying religion is "for mentally retarted" when one of those guys is smarter than me and you combined is extremely ridiculous.

  • @tigersforchrist THIS IS NOT A ISLAMIC SONG ASSHOLE! SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO THIS SONG, JERK!!!

  • @tigersforchrist the koran is the last book of god(allah) what youre saying is completely unsense.

    Its like saying the bible is a copy of the tanach.

    Jesus is one of or prophets too but at the first Mohammad (sav).

  • i agree!

  • And one day he`s meeting Jesus, singing the same song......

  • unnecessary version

  • @thecolaratlady what a fucking stupid thing to say.

  • i can feel the emotions in his voice .... gr8 singer...thnx 4r sharing

  • allah, please don't let me be misunderstood!

  • la version de the animals con eric burdon tambien es excelente me gusta la pressentacion en NME de 1965 en londres

  • Comment removed

  • 18 Persons are made of stone

  • 18 People are Misunderstood

  • Beautiful. :-)

    

  • Think he is saying something in this song?

    Think maybe I have the wrong idea about this artist, once the ruler of my pantheon of musical greats?

    I wonder...

    I wonder if I know anything at all..

  • Groovy the way he sounds like Cat Stevens!!!

    Danny

  • some people should have been aborted at birth.....

  • @tedkadar It's nice that you are so self-aware. It's not to late!

  • he is the best musician..... connecting music religion peace .... his music is the language everyone can  understand .....

  • baxterknite and Apoc897 you both are complete idiiots. if you do not like, then dont listen. But I am sure no one gives a damn about your idiot thoughts, You are both low life losers !!!!

  • LOL who is this fucking faggot and why are people listening to him...

  • ... The fuck did he do to this song? Booo. Musical Terrorism. [ Not a muslim joke (Okay maybe a little.).] But no, this is seriously just god-awful.

  • @baxterknite your level is soo down.he was like you at first like many priester or bishofs then they found the truth and they are all happy with it.terrorismus is made in west.be logik go and read before its too late for you and dont be like a teenager you must respekt the choice of the people.

  • ♥♥ YUSUF ISLAM ♥♥

  • Cat Stevens's voice gives me great peace. He keeps his beautiful voice.

  • I dont have any prejudices i only liked him more with the long hair :D

  • CAT STEVENS É UM REFRESCO PARA ALMA COM A SUA VOZ LIMPIDA E SUAVE. INJUSTIÇADO POR TER SIDO OLVIDADO NA MELHOR ÉPOCA DA MÚSICA DOS ANOS 60.

  • @Diasrolling, concordo plenamente. Tomei conhecimento da música de Cat Stevens somente em 1977 e o o o achei perfeito: música, letra, interpretação, argumentos - tudo!

  • Comment removed

  • dont like this version

  • preaching the blues baby the antidot to the so called throoghs darling :-)

    by the faboulos gun ja! "club"

    we all are learning someAi.e.UOthink ;-)

  • To every moron who is mixing art and Politics, I will tell you this, in a more political way: get the F@#K out of here, and go look for someone else to argue with. I am sick of these Shit heads who mix religion, Politics and Art just to feel different than the rest of the crowd. This is just a song and if you have something to say go start a debate about who are the real terrosrists in our world.

  • Seems to me his new interpretations are crap, better go back to the old Cat.

  • Cat... You silly little artists...

    He used to sing about "finding a strong headed women", but I guess his search criteria changed when be became islamic.

  • i'm 14 but if i'm so old like him, i wanne be so peaceful like him (L)

  • .... woop woop go christianity ;)

  • haters gonna hate, lets enjoy this beautiful piece, we are all one, one day we all will feel like this...

  • @sanserif

    It's a pity he's spoken words of hate in "defense" of Islam- his calling for the slaying of Salman Rushdie after the Ayatollah Khomeini issued his fatwah for example. I'm an atheist who has time for all peoples faiths, except when they preach hatred. Religions, like guns, don't kill people- people kill people.

  • @BDABWOY I am not a Muslim, but I know many good Muslims! He never said to kill Rushdie. Get your facts straight please and quit being hateful. He is a very loving and giving human being. Do some research on the man.

  • @kittykate52 Interesting you call me "hateful". I'm anything but. I have however watched the panel discussion he took part in where he discussed what he would do if faced with Salman Rushdie. So, before you accuse people of things, perhaps you should check YOUR facts. I also "know many good muslims"- did I say anything contrary to that? And I know more about Islam than you might think. Try thinking before opening your mouth.

  • @BDABWOY chill let's just enjoy this song man .chil

  • Beautiful.

  • No passion,like really boring.Any decient singer could do this,BUT he wrote some other really great songs which he sang with passion and feeling that came across.So,,,, he's a fine artist .I just don't happen to enjoy this one.

  • You sons of bitches shut your fucked up mouths and respect other peoples religions. I'm a muslim, and I'M NOT A FUCKING TERRORIST. America is the terrorist. Masonic shit is the terrorist. Britain is the fucking TERRORIST. You laid havoc on our people for years, and America is doing the same to its own people. Just open your eyes. 9/11 was America's doing. All those shit are. If you want to close your eyes to it, you don't have to respect it, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  • @k12274 Dude, you are not doing your cause any good with the above rant. Muhammad was a prophet of peace!

  • @dawbtreader22 Of course he was, but it's our mission to protect the truth being shitted around. No one can talk about Muhammed Mustapha like this. No one.

  • @k12274 Boy, do I understand your anger. I'm not Muslim, but it really pisses me off that Muslims have become the latest scapegoat. Some people even trumpet their ignorance about Muslims. I'm an atheist who respects people of all religions - INCLUDING MUSLIMS. I hope America can get over their hatred and fear of things (like Islam) that they are not familiar with. You may not care, but I wish you well.  Keep your faith and it will see you through.

  • @k12274 I just want to point out this little fact you have failed to recognize: "America" includes Canada, Mexico, Brazil and all of the physically smaller countries and islands around them.

    If you're going to blame someone for something, get your facts straight, and you might be deemed as intelligent.

  • @Emmyxf Oh boy, you just talk to talk and spit out hatred, nothing else. You know who I meant damn well. I have no business with some motherfucking islands which doesn't have to do anything with motherfucking American Government

  • wow wow wowwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!!!

  • Pure ans simple magic. His voice is so beautiful

  • Type "Ranj Catch 22" if you wanna hear a cool song!

  • His face looks serene and calm after embracing Islam.

  • I wish one day he will sing in israel

  • good for you he is great,scottish granny and folk singer

  • @OFFENDOR - I think so..He has bcom a humble down to earth human being after converting to islam, unlike poeple like Elton John who is a disgrace to his religion, age and fame..

  • @ShifWajdi Elton John? What does he have to do with this?

  • konoser al kristo es entender al amor ya que la programacion del krestos kelium es el rescate de todos nos,solo el amor puede hacer eso i nos no tenemos la kapasidad para enter esagrandiosa programasion de los sielos

  • @OFFENDOR What happened to him ? he got a longer bierd? he make a copy version? what do u mean islam did? Is he broken? what happened to you ? Did caps get stuck when u wrote your name?

  • He's a traitor to LOVE.

  • It's almost as if it was written for him and his situation.

    One of the greatest.

    If you can't put aside your politics and religious bigotry to enjoy this peaceful and beautiful artist...I'll stab you in the eye with a spork :)

  • @viragodawg a spork??? is that a hybrid of spoon and fork. I remember Cat Stevens from years ago, Morning has broken, Tea for the Tiller man etc He always seemed to me to be sincere, whether anyone approves of his conversion or not, he was true to himself and his values and beliefs. Not to mention the clarity and timbre of his voice, with its gentle delivery. Vastly underrated artist I would say, Islam is his faith now, but he has not deserted us, still singing for us, still giving.

  • Allah is Gay ; )

  • @pabletediaz And you can go to hell

  • @ShifWajdi The hell doesn't exist asshole XDDD

  • Comment removed

  • @pabletediaz yea, explain y sinners like u still exist...

  • @ShifWajdi Sinners like you still exist, because you can't seem to grasp a concept of proper spelling or grammar. For your betterment: "Yeah, explain why sinners like you still exist..."

  • Comment removed

  • btw, you should write "Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)"...

  • @cypresscoach that man probably has more creativity in his toenails than you have in your entire body. douche.

  • @cypresscoach He's wrote several songs since returning to music. And I like your baseless accusation of perverting the lyrics. Though I agree with you on one thing, the british can shut the fuck up.

  • @cypresscoach

    everybody makes covers

    and no, his creativity has not vanished, he still makes his own and new music

  • @hairysteven Yeah and i would fuck you and your lord to shreds.You piece of a little crusade fuck.

  • @hairysteven Obviously you a pre-judged hatred towards islam, or you;re just an undereducated ignorant fuck.

  • @biggiesmaus its not pre judged at all. all my life ive wittness all the bad things in the world happening and it all leads back down to you shit head allah fuckers

  • @hairysteven I'll go with undereducated fuck then. I don't know if you're religious or not, but don't go bashing things you do not understand. That's typical american pig behavior.

  • @hairysteven You complete and utter fucking moron.

  • @hairysteven really??Get medical help..

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful music and beautiful lyrics.

  • A really lovely piece by Cat

  • i can relate to this song and his songs better than most songs i listen to and his music is just so beautiful

  • MARAVILHOSO! Ainda bem que reapareceu, um talento desse escondido chega a ser crime!

  • thank you Cat... I am an American living in Malaysia...and it is often so problematic....but I keep trying.

  • I have always loved this guy's music, but never heard him sing this song. In fact, I haven't heard a lot of his work since he was Cat Stevens, but I always loved his songs. This is by far the best version of this song I've found so far.

  • Wow the prejudices in our society would have kept anyone away from this video. This is beautiful, the way it is totally stripped back so you can really appreciate and connect with the song. People in Yusafs postion show us that we kind of live in a world of bigots. Vie la Difference

  • @CarbonBlonde Don't get too enamored with him. do your homework; he has contributed and raised money for terrorists. Islam is a political ideological cult of hate and murder far more than a religion.

    Now, is he talented; of course. Is he misguided and a fool, of course.

  • @butch33901 o well thanks for correcting me, cause its not like my point answers you.

  • @CarbonBlonde  hello CarbonBlonde i'm agree with your way of thinking. The only thing i'm sure is that i know nothing and things that i don't know are bigger than me. Every one should think about it if we want to live together in the future (for our children). Love you brothers and sisters!!!

  • @ConstantinIV cat stevens = yusef islam  ( you retard ) he got the knowledge now and you got nothing welcome 2 islam brother yusef

  • @MOCROMAN19

    I know it's the same dude >_<

    Yes, that's some great knowledge, I alsways wanted to know how to stuff a woman in a burka :)

    

  • @ConstantinIV hey Veni vidi vici  ;) yusef islam

  • @ConstantinIV on you mean leave you sister as lolly pop Bwagh that's disgusting man

  • @arysky37

    I have no idea what you just wrote...

    Wow you need some more english lessons

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful Voice , new lyrics !!! msA rabbena yethabbetoh.

  • An Arab

  • smh @ these comments. Oh how this performance and the song's meaning flew RIGHT OVER everyone's head..shame, too much talking and attention paid to the sounds of our own voices we fail to see the meaning the BLATANT meaning of this song. Good people will always be misunderstood. While the ones fucking this world up, keep on polluting..and claiming to be "misunderstood" as well. No hope for some of yall..and that's truly a shame..

  • the voice of the young

  • nice song

  • I could hear this song the whole day...I know nobody cares about intentions but God does...He is the only one who really understands you....better than yourself..damn, this song makes me cry...

  • Arab wannabee. He's got no soul, He's a traitor, hope his kids are able to see these comments but I bet he won't allow them.

  • @ash1286 u are an asshole!

  • @ash1286 Firstly, he's not an "Arab", he's British, and he's Muslim. He's wholeheartedly both, and if you're too blinded by prejudice to see that, it's not anyone else's fault. You have something to say here, it can be about the song, which is an absolutely beautiful rendition.

  • So nice song ! This song is a live and love .

  • And all the ugly comments must be from republicans full of fear...so full of fear....

  • The Animals and Nina Simone versions are way better. He's still good, but his voice has lost that passion and poetry it used to have.

  • this guy is better than cat stevens!

    yusuf i like your albums especcially an oother cup

    this is my favorite song of you

    can you please make more of this powerful songs?

  • @HCVS13 AND WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU, AND WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW? DON'T BE SO MEAN!!!!

  • @HCVS13 he already changed his name and converted into muslim at this time

  • @HaiqalZulkifli You think?

  • Beautifullll i hope he could come to Brazil like Roger Hogers come last mey 2010

  • Yusuf Islam said: "Salman Rushdie must be killed. The Q'uran makes it clear - if someone defames the prophet, then he must die."

    (Source: Philadelphia Inquirer, February 24, 1989, p.5A)

    Yusuf Islam is a two-faced phony who talks about peace one day, and calls for murder the next.

  • @RealityCheckHero

    give him a break. its not as easy as it seems to be a famous convert like Yusuf/Cat. yusuf or cat its just a name. he deserves the benefit of the doubt. dont let yourself be the god, assuming abt somebody you dont even know.

  • @RealityCheckHero Oh yea?

  • @RealityCheckHero Yeah, and if I was Christian, and claimed to be a great Christian, and then wrote books saying Jesus was a little girl with no superpowers and Mother Mary was a prostitute, then I'm sure about half the Christian world would want to kill me too.

  • @RealityCheckHero and read Leviticus 24:16 from that precious Bible while you're at it, and you can tell me who's a two-faced phony.

  • @lifehouse57

    I fart on the Bible.

  • @RealityCheckHero you should really get a life

  • @SachaTheEvilOne it is ok every one has the right to give thier opinion, some as good some are bad. that life live and let live. but i feel what you say??????

  • This song is about life and love! Not politics!!!

  • -Great singer..

    -Great man...

  • angelic voice much better with Islamic idea worn

  • I've like him since I was a young girl - he still has a beautiful voice. A very talented man!
