Stewart-Colbert "sanity" rally features Yusuf Islam, who called for the murder of Salman Rushdie

Cat Stevens went nuts a long time ago.

"Tea for the Tillerman" is a nice memory of his pre-insane conversion to Islam.

Anyone who voluntarily embraces Islam has bats in the belfry.

Can someone explain to me why Yusef Islam was even allowed entry into the U.S.?

Because Islam is a religion of peace! I reply in the infamous words of Achmed the Dead Terrorist, "You racist bastard!"

Hmmm. I think when my colleagues talk about the rally at lunch, I'll ask what they think of Yusef Islam's comments about Salman Rushdie.

I was hoping this would get posted. I love the irony of it all. An Islamic supremacist and jihadist singing about peace, while clueless, doughy-eyed onlookers bask.

His death threat to Rushdie was reposted and really is worth seeing.

From post above...Most people, no matter how well educated and accomplished, are blithering idiots, and that is the dying truth.

A former Sheriff had this to say about that...'Some people are educated beyond their intelligence'...He also said that 'not all long haired people are dope smokers, but all dope smokers were long haired people'...

I always wondered why educated people frequently buy into primitive and/or brutal systems like communism, Marxism, Nazism, Islamo-ism...Maybe it was too much pot smoking in college...
A UK study, that I don't vouch for, found that young people who smoke just one marijuana cigarette, have a 40% chance of developing schizophrenia in later life...According to the study, 14% actually do...So who is it that smokes the most pot in the US? It's not church going conservatives...It would seem that 10% of the 14%, are liberals and democrats...including Rasool Obama...According to that, the US gov is top heavy with drug damaged schizophrenics...But don't worry, they are all educated...

I've tried reading Rushdie's Satanic verses and it just seemed like a dense tangle of metaphorical weirdness. I gave up. I wonder if Cat Stevens had any more success than I did before he jumped on the fatwa bandwagon.

...to answer my own question, 'no, of course he didn't. He didn't even try'. Just before anyone else says it.

As a professional musician, I at one time, respected the work of Cat Stevens. However there are 3 songs I never, ever play, even though I can.
1) Stairway To Heaven-I have heard it butchered by too many wanna-be players
2) Dust In the Wind-I remember when White Clover, a previous name for the band were coke snortin' whiskey freaks turned Christian.
3) Anything by Cat Stevens-Turned Y. Islam, Peace Train became a murder condoning wreck!
Peace!(as in Gandhi or the Dalai Lama)not the lies of Islam Peace!

It's important to remember that Stevens' reputation continues NOW to be damaged by the claim that he was willing to call Khomeini himself to turn Rushdie into Khomeini's assassins if he only could. This is a STRANGE thing for a reporter to get wrong, but if he got it wrong it sounds reckless, i.e. libellous under U.S. law and ESPECIALLY under English law. Every day that the website is on, it's a republication of the claim. So it's time for Stevens to hire a barrister and SUE the New York TImes in America or especially in London and reclaim his Peace Train reputation.

"Sanity Rally" :))))))))))))

In 1981, after signing his first solo career record deal, Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a dove during a meeting with some record-company executives in Los Angeles.

Yussuf Islam is a crazy muslim that threatened Rushdie in 1989.

Didn't Cat/Yusuf also raise money for Hamas and then later claim that, um, ah, um, it was just for "the children?"

"The Stewart/Colbert Shark Jumping Contest"

You know, I usually enjoy what Colbert and Stewart do on their TV shows. It's hilarious, and often right on the money. That makes it all the weirder to see them join hands with this death fatwa supporter..I just can't understand it.
That said, I won't stop listening to 'Morning has broken'. The song has no evil message, nor did Cat Stevens when he sang it.

I don't think Colbert or Stewart know this about Cat Stevens though. They probably make the mistake of thinking 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', thus thinking islam must be ok because the right is largely against it.

I think it's likely that Ozzy has no idea that his free-reign creativity would be targeted under Sharia law. He wasn't all too bright even before the chemical assault on his brain had made much progress. Old interviews leave no doubt about that.

I looked online for some stuff on Colbert and islam, and found these little gems.

Fun stuff. It doesn't look like something a dhimmi would do to me.

Wow. Aren't you the hypocrite Robert Spencer?

I seem to recall your best buddy Pam Geller being somewhat of a genocide denier, and supporter of Serbian War criminals.
I seem to recall her calling for the destruction of Al-Aqsa mosque.
I seem to recall her voicing her support for Eugene Terrablanche, a South African White supremacist & advocate of Aparthied.

I seem to also recall you posting a video promoting genocide of Pakistan, by a Fascist Hindu group that was involved in the Gujrat Riots several years ago, that resulted in the massacre of 100s innocent men,women and children.

Aren't you just an massive 2 faced hypocrite for bitching about him, when you're buddies with a racist genocidal hate monger like Pam Geller?

Yeahhh, It MUST be Halloween!

On the one hand you have the half brain dead OZ man...

And on the other you have the fake soul still brain dead 'hip-cat' do-gooder himself...

What feel-good Leftist fun! Right? lollllllllllll

I am an ex-Muslim with a website:

I'm not sure if Cat Stevens is such a good Muslim...

I always loved Steven's music. I can not help but want to hurl whenever I hear it now, since the Rushdie affair at least. When they played it at Starbuck's, I complained to the manager about it. The "Peace Train" and all the other songs are ruined forever as far as I am concerned.

Islam-Stevens also called for jihad against Israel not long after the Rushdie affair.

It's disgusting that the people who are up there with him are so clueless; or are they?

In the very least, their silence equals indifference, which equals complacency, which equals complicity, which equals cowardice....

Revolting.

Has Stevens ever talked about his conversion? Of all the religions a lefty hippy like Stevens could have chosen, Islam seems the least likely. His apparent "peace and love" beliefs must have been rather weak, as after he was exposed to the underlying violence and depravity of Islam (I'm sure his recruiter led him there slowly) he didn't blink.

"At 19, I contracted tuberculosis...and [this] paved the way for the life I now lead as a Muslim."

That's ... interesting. He was 19 in 1967. He didn't visibly revert until the end of 1977.

I would also suggest to avoid being snookered by Ghandi. How daily he would give enemas to his teenage female acolytes and they would, in turn, return the favor. Ghandi held an abiding interest in bowel movements. Of course there was the time he told the Jews of Germany to relax, peacefully, I presume, and go along with the nazi program. How he was rather unconcerned with muslims decapitating Bombay Hindu babies during Partition. (BTW, how about those 1.5 million dead bodies when Ghandi finally got his way) How he wrote a letter of complaint to the South African authorities (when he lived there)objecting to Indians being included in the segregrating policies, of course the blacks he understood and agreed with but not the Indians. I could go one but then one could just rent the movie. Unfortunately I missed it but I'm sure his bowel fetish was amply portrayed.

Isn't it obvious that Islam is a severe mental health threat?

And it kills certain artistic or truly creative powers, as in Music. Just compare the music of Cat Stevens to that of the drab nothings of Yusef Islam. But then neither Muhammad nor the devil can really stand music for pure aesthetic enjoyment (as opposed to militaristic arousal):

Hadith Qudsi 19:5: "The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance."
Muhammad also said:

(1) “Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.”

(2) “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress.”

(3) “Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.”

(4) “This community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones.” Someone asked, “When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?” and he said, “When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful.”

(5) “There will be peoples of my Community who will hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful ….” --
'Umdat al-Salik r40.0

Yes, I noticed this when I read the coverage of the Saturday event(s) in the Sunday paper (Chicago Trib and NYT). Yusuf Islam, the great "scholar" of Islam who assured us almost 22 years ago when Rushdie was given a death sentence by that political-tyrant-who-called-himself-a-spiritual/religious-leader Ayatollah (Persian for "reflection of God"- these Muslim imams are certainly a humble, unassuming lot, aren't they) Khomeini for the crime of WRITING A BOOK. This from the man who earlier on marketed himself as a great hippie minstrel and avatar of peace and love (he wrote "Peace Train"). And Stewart and Colbert have the conceit and gall to set themselves up as intellectually, morally, aesthetically, and spiritually better than the conservatives they mock. What a despicable group, what an awful world we live in. ICK!

Cat Stevens is an ignorant fool and a terrible moHAMmedan. The mere POSSESSION of musical instruments is a capital offense in his religion. And, to actually PLAY them, in PUBLIC, is absolutely DESPICABLE! The bad news is that, when those 12th century cretins finally execute sentence on him, they will probably also take out a large part of his audience. It's amazing that his promoters will take the risk that the coming massacre will not happen during the performance for which they are liable.

it is soooo interesting that they only introduced yusuf islam as yusuf and didn't add the islam. it's really quite significant. i think the words in peace train "something good's about to come" is really about sharia, now that i heard the bbc interview. the dude's f'ing nuts, like anyone who converts to that barbaric religion has to be. to see jon steward and colbert as dhimmies just makes me think they're dummies. it's so sad.
