Dhim-mis have bro-ken, like the first mo-o-o-rn-ing. "Yusuf Islam accepts libel award," from the AFP, July 18:
LONDON (AFP) — Yusuf Islam, the singer-songwriter formerly known as Cat Stevens, on Friday accepted substantial libel damages and an apology for articles that claimed he was sexist and bigoted, lawyers said.A Muslim who is "sexist" and "bigoted"--perish the thought!
[...]The articles, published in March last year, falsely claimed he had refused to speak to or even acknowledge any women who were not veiled and was not prepared to speak to women other than through an intermediary, Islam's lawyer said.
Adam Tudor said his client was caused "considerable embarrassment and distress" at the allegations, which had created an "utterly false impression of his attitude to women" and cast aspersions on his faith.
"In fact, Mr Islam has never had any difficulties working with women, whether for religious or for any other reasons. Women feature among some of the most influential people in his professional team," he added.
"All of the damages secured by Mr Islam will be paid to his charity, Small Kindness. The defendants have also agreed to pay Mr Islam's legal costs."
[...]
As Cat Stevens, Islam, 59, recorded several major hits in the late 1960s and 1970s. He converted at the height of his fame in 1977, devoting himself to education and philanthropy.
He released his first album in 28 years, "An Other Cup", in 2006.
Some things we can still say
I admire Virgil Goode.
Virgil Goode took enormous abuse and never complained or treated anyone with disdain.
If we let Iran have nukes, eventually it will have subs with missiles with nukes off our coasts.
It will be able to sell them to Chavez or others who hate America.
Iran, Pakistan, etc. are not the industrial power that was the Soviet Union. They can't build nukes, missiles, subs, etc. except by working together and selling to each other.
North Korea and Pakistan have already shown that.
We need to draft 2 million men and invade Iran
now.
Battle phase deaths in Iraq were 200 men. We need to fight our wars while that is the case.
Stop all Muslim immigration.
Stop all laws on hate speech and the British style libel laws.
If we don't speak up for our freedom, we won't keep it.
There are many Muslim nations that would be happy to fire off nukes from subs off our coasts, if we are fool enough to let them.
It looks like we are.
If you have relatives who fought in World War II, or Korea, or WWI, or Vietnam or in the Middle East, and you can't spare some support or time now for your freedom and future, then you really need to ask yourself why. Who are you waiting to tell you that its time to speak up and be heard?
You can see what happens when you convert to Islam. Cat Stevens turned Muslim and already exhibits supremacist attitudes and misogynistic tendencies.
On 21 September 2004, Yusuf Islam was traveling on a United Airlines flight from London to Washington, en route to a meeting with singer Dolly Parton, who had recorded "Peace Train" several years earlier and was planning to include another Cat Stevens song on an upcoming album.
In mid-2005, Yusuf Islam played guitar for the Dolly Parton album, Those Were the Days, on her version of his "Where Do the Children Play"
[Dolly Parton] says, "I had recorded a song on this CD, called WHERE THE CHILDREN PLAY, and I thought it was worth a chance (to ask Islam to join her), so we sent an email... and he said, 'Sure, I'll play the guitar.'
"He's a precious man. He's got a lot of bad press lately but I think he's out to try to save the world, not destroy it."

I wonder if Cat Stevens wanted Dolly Parton to cover up her cleavage before collaborating with her.
Cat Stevens...or whatever his name is....stated on TV during the Satanic verses crisis that Rushdie deserved to die and he would personally murder him if ordered to do so by an Islamic authority.
Here's the clip.

I think the music this man made prior to his conversion is beautiful, and some of the Islamic music he's made is very nice too. Terribly sad to see his deterioration into a small-minded fanatic.
Old Atlantic, I agree with you.
I was playing a Cat Stephens LP earlier today. Cat Stephens is dead. His body may be walking around but he is dead, or at least, brain dead.
They say you're supposed to separate the man from his art, but when I hear "The Peace Train" or "Moon Shadow" these days, I can't help recoil in revulsion at his voice...just knowing what this man has become.
"Peace Train" my ass.
Nice take on the old Cat Stevens song
"They say you're supposed to separate the man from his art."
-- from a posting above
Who is "they"?
And what constitutes "art"?
The singer formerly known as Cat Stevens is by definition as a Muslim an anti-semitic, anti-Christian, anti-Hindu, anti-anything but Islam bigot and misogynist. If he cannot acknowledge personally that his "religion" imposes this mentality by force and rule of Islamic law, than he suffers from cognitive dissonance. Mohammad, a musicphobe,suffered from musical dissonance, and would have smashed Stevens' records, or at least the good ones, before the lust for "prophet."
He is surely one of those animals - I think the Australian imam called creatures like him cats who stroll around fresh meat? That imam knows well, what animals the moslem men are, doesn't he?
Dsinc, thanks, OA.
I used to love his music, but I won't listen to it anymore. He has betrayed a whole generation.
He released his first album in 28 years, "An Other Cup", in 2006.
Another cup of what, blood? I thought music was haram in Islam anyway.
music is definitely allowed in the name of dawa and as kitman. See his frequent appearances in the media and the likes of Dhimmi Parton so over-eager to make this fascist's case for him!
And he makes money off us "infidels" with it.
Any imam would tell you that it's OK for the future muezzin Cat Stevens to make music. He's alos practicing for his next job.
Bad gas has bro-oken, like the first pray-ay-ay-er...
A**hol..er..
mu-ezzin has spo-o-ken
like an islamo-fasciii-ii-ii-st!!
My nose is co-o-o-vered!
Cause I can't ta-aa-aake it..
His music is a testament to his heresy against Islam, when he was a free-thinker.
He spoke of the "good book" often, especially in "on the Road To Find Out", which is an obvious reference to the Bible, not the Qur'an.
Cat was looking for a way out of the good fight for a long time, long before he "reverted".
So be it.
"Morning Has Broken" was plagiarized from an early English folksong.
Just as the Koran was plagiarized from the Torah and New Testament.
Cat is now just a hairball.
PuusyCat Stevens or whatever the hell name he calls himself is nothing but burned-out street person.
Our British cousins are letting themselves become dhimmi at an alarming rate; this lastest case being proof positive. Londonistan by Melanie Phillips was my first introduction to the phenomenon. It certainly was not the last. With Canada putting Mark Steyn and McLeans Magazine on trial for hate speech I see our cherished rule of law and freedoms slipping away.
We in the States have no shortage of apologist, cowards and traitors hoping the mohammedans treat them nice some day.Footbaths at every venue for our mohammedan Lords? No. They need to be gone, back to the desert, back to the Horn of Africa, OUT OF MY COUNTRY. And take the willing dhimmi with you.
Oddly, or perhaps not so oddly, I never liked Cat Stevens music and found his voice strangely irritating.
It was, well ... kind of smarmy.
I think something was wrong in there right from the start.
I used to love his music, but I won't listen to it anymore. He has betrayed a whole generation.
What is worse, he is of greek heritage
