The Cat Stevens archive
About Me:
-topic made 2011-
Im 17 right now, and im in the last months of childhood, Since i heard the music of cat stevens in 2010 i felt inspired enough to learn to play guitar, so i did, in 2 month's i mastered the guitar with help of the video lessons from marty.
I dedicated this channel to cat stevens since he means so much to me, cat saved me from my depressions and gives my live a soundtrack.
before cat stevens i only listened hip hop, but now i listen t o all kinds of aucoustic singer-songwriters like eddie vedder,Gerry Rafferty,bob dylan and roy harper.
I hope you will enjoy my channel, since i made this especially for you!

This message goes out to my future self in 2012 and beyond.: I believe in you.
YUSUF DID NOT WANT TO KILL SALMAN, READ HIS FOLLOWING STATEMENT BELOW:
Didn't He Say "Kill Rushdie!"?
I never called for the death of Salman Rushdie; nor backed the Fatwa issued by the Ayatollah Khomeini -- and still don't. The book itself destroyed the harmony between peoples and created an unnecessary international crisis.
When asked about my opinion regarding blasphemy, I could not tell a lie and confirmed that -- like both the Torah and the Gospel -- the Qur'an considers it, without repentance, as a capital offense. The Bible is full of similar harsh laws if you're looking for them.[1] However, the application of such Biblical and Qur'anic injunctions is not to be outside of due process of law, in a place or land where such law is accepted and applied by the society as a whole.
The accusation that I supported the Fatwa, therefore, is wholly false and misleading. It was due to my naivety in trying to answer a loaded question posed by a journalist, after a harmless biographical lecture I gave to students in Kingston University in 1989, which unleashed the infamous headline above.
To indicate my actual stance about this matter before this front-page controversy erupted, it's useful to quote a letter of complaint I sent to Viking, a subsidiary of Penguin Books, the publishers, on 8th October, 1989. This was after I had been sent a preview of the text of Satanic Verses:
I wish to express my deepest outrage at the insensitivity of Penguin Books in Publishing Salman Rushdie's book, Satanic Verses, This book is clearly blasphemous in nature and so deeply offensive to the Muslim Community I urge you to give the contents of this letter your most urgent attention and take a responsible decision.
As can be seen from the above, my personal response before the heat-seeking media got involved was significantly different from the fables and myths which have been circulated.
Sad that no matter how many times I've repeatedly tried to explain my true position, journalists inevitably bring up this subject again and again; as if it was the only memorable thing I was reported to have done in my sixty-odd years living on this planet (yawn).
