My latest in PJ Media:
Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens is a darling of the Western media these days, because he converted to the elites’ favored religion. Critics generally treat Bob Dylan’s “Christian period” as an embarrassing anomaly in his otherwise stellar career, while Yusuf Islam gets a fawning feature in Yahoo Music Sunday to explain his thinking and justify his action.
Yahoo’s Erin Donnelly writes that “the singer who rose to fame as Cat Stevens, and is now known as Yusef/Cat Stevens, is getting candid about his conversion to Islam and the fallout that ensued.” Would Erin Donnelly ever take to Yahoo to publish a lavish puff piece about a singer, songwriter, artist, whatever, who had become an evangelical Christian? Would Yahoo explain with journalistic portent that this artist was finally “getting candid about his conversion,” or would it be much more likely to publish something about how the Christian convert was under fire, his friends were shaking their heads and doubting the soundness of his mind, etc.? You know the answer.
Donnelly then takes us through a brief recapitulation of a story that Yusuf Islam has actually been “candid” about many times before: that of “the 1976 near-death experience that resulted in him turning to the Muslim faith.” The former feline explains: “I was an Englishman. I didn’t know it wasn’t wise to go out at that time of day and take a swim, so I did. I decided to turn back and head for shore and, of course, at that point I realized, ‘I’m fighting the Pacific.’ There was no way I was going to win. There was only one thing to do and that was to pray to the almighty to save me. And I did. I called out to God and he saved me. A little wave came from behind. It wasn’t big. It was just simply pushing me forward. “The tide somehow had changed and I was able to get back to land. So I was saved. I didn’t know what was going to happen next.”
What happened next was that Cat’s brother gave him a Qur’an, and as that other famous convert once said about a different book, every one of them words rang true and glowed like burning coals. “I would never have picked up a Quran,” says Mr. Islam. “But it became the gateway. After a year I could not hold myself back. I had to bow down.”
However, that was when new troubles began for the poor dear. In Turkey, he says, he was “raised on this pedestal,” but it was a different story in the West, or as Yusuf Islam calls it, “the other side”: “But on the other side there were people who said, ‘He’s a bit of a traitor, isn’t he? He’s turned Turk.’”
Yusuf lamented: “That was very difficult because at one point I was an icon of the majority and now I am part of the minority who are looked down upon and certainly, to a large extent, misunderstood.”
There is much more. Read the rest here.
tom parry says
What happened to the Peace train? which at the time i thought was so cool. No I cringe when I hear cats name or musik. Sad. As pointed out to me I guess we have another understanding of “peace” Only mine has not changed much over time. Cat had a conversion to a death cult.
abad says
Like a lot of people, I liked Cat Stevens’ early music. Not any more. All he does is play the standard Moslem victim card.
There is no sanctity in Islam at all. Not when victim cards are played.
In other news about conversion and Islam:

Brando says
Yes,I had one read the BOB DYLAN,who is Jewish,had for a time been an Evangelical Christian. Regarding the West,from the REDPILL/BLACKPILL lens:
It is true that Europe has 2 heritages( and this does not exist in ISLAMIC countries ):
1.GRECO-ROMAN
2.What is called “Judeo-Christian”, but it is far more logical to say:”influence of the Jew Jesus of Nazareth”.
Haven’t you noticed that European peoples who do NOT descend from the Greeks and Romans say they have a Greco-Roman heritage:
1.The GERMANIC and CELTIC peoples,the SLAVS,
2.Those who speak BALTIC languages and the BASQUES,
3.The MALTESE( their language is SEMITIC),
4.The GEORGIANS and ARMENIANS and
peoples who speak ASIATIC languages (Hungarian,s Estonians,Finnish).
5.Even the OSSETIANS( 500,000, Christian) who live in the CAUCASUS ( in the part that is in Russia) and who speak an IRANIAN language.
6,And the GAGAUZ people ( 155,000) (125,000 in MOLDOVA and 30,000 in UKRAINE) who speak a TURKIC language but are CHRISTIAN.
THE ROMAN HERITAGE
It means simply the LEGAL principles of the JUSTINIAN CODE, of the Roman Empire: equality before the law, innocent until proved guilty,etc.
THE GREEK HERITAGE
Those peoples have also accepted RATIONALISM or the use of reason a part of their culture. SOCRATES,in his trial said:
“The UNEXAMINED LIFE is NOT WORTH living”
This idea that one must use rationality,use reason, can be seen in the the ancient Greeks MOST SACRED place, the ORACLE of DELPHI where 2 sayings were written for all to read:
“NOTHING to EXCESS” ( a rational perspective)
and “KNOW YOURSELF”
That was why ARISTOTLE ,the pupil of PLATO,who was the pupil of SOCRATES ,in his Nicomachean Ethics says the way to live is the GOLDEN MEAN (middle point )
( For example, in the Aristotelian view, courage is a virtue, but if taken to excess would manifest as recklessness, and, in deficiency, cowardice. )
eduardo odraude says
And classic Greek culture was united with Christianity from the latter’s very beginning, for example in the Gospel of John identifying Christ with the Greek Logos.
eduardo odraude says
Some of history’s great Christian scholars and leaders, furthermore, looked at Socrates as a “Christian before Christ.” There were a number of parallels to Christianity and Christ in Socrates’ views, actions, and death.
Demetrio says
Indeed. Christianity is watered-down Greek mythology and philosophy. I prefer the real thing.
Fred Middleton says
Everything in Socrates is based on reason, the Jewish-Christian position is that truth is revealed by God, which is really the opposite.

Brando says
There is an intertwining of the GRECO-ROMAN heritage and Jesus of Nazareth in that both were PRO-MONOGAMY.
The Greeks and Roman and also the GERMANIC tribes were MONOGAMOUS.
THE PROOF
1.The Jewish group called the ESSENES where AGAINST POLYGAMY and also against SLAVERY in the DEAD SEA SCROLLS.
2.In the NT:
MATTHEW 19:9
“Now I tell you that whoever DIVORCES his wife, except for sexual immorality, and MARRIES another woman, commits ADULTERY.”
MARK 10:11
“So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.”
LUKE 16:18
“Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery”
INTERPRETATION
1.A man DIVORCES his wife.
2.He MARRIES again
3.Yet for the NAZARENE, it is ADULTERY, because he is STILL MARRIED to his FIRST wife.
4.He has in effect, MARRIED a SECOND time,has a SECOND wife,the Nazarene calls it ADULTERY.
Ray Jarman says
it is true that the Catholic Church does not recognize a divorce. The marriage would have to be annulled by the Church which would make the children of said marriage as being illegitimate. Without the annulment, a Catholic cannot not remarry within the Church and would indeed be considered adultery by the Church but not in a civil court.
Chrissie01 says
just a small side remark:
The introduction of Christianity to the Celtic and Normannic and Germanic people was a cultural genocide and an act of submission and not brought about be peaceful conversion. It was implemented with utter brutality and direct threat.
The possession of a rune alphabeth alone could be punished by death (by burning), not to mention the interrogation methods of those suspected of “sorcery”, i.e. of practicing the old and free spirituality.

Cat stevens converted to a cult whose god hates music,musical instruments and women singing.
“On the day of resurrection allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening
to a songstress”
Reliance of the Traveller Umdat al salik r40.1
It takes a particular type of idiot,if one is a musician { or even worse,a female singer}to convert to a warped Arab cult whose god has a problem with music and female singers.
allah hates musical instruments{yet David in the Bible played the harp},allah curses anyone who listens to a woman singing{yet we have Mary singing in the Gospel Luke 1 v46-56}
Of all possible religions,islam is the WORST to be in if you like music.
Hare Krishnas with their Tambourines,Charismatic Christians singing ,Gospel choirs:music and musical instruments are perfectly natural expressions of spirituality.
Except in islam.
“From then on ,whenever the evil spirit came on Saul,David would get his Harp and play it.The evil spirit would leave and Saul would feel better and all right again”
I SAMUEL 16 V 23
You see?The Judeo-christian Biblical God/YHWH is fine with musical instruments but laughably,allah the idiot Arab god thinks musical instruments are sinful.Clearly that is not the case if David’s Harp playing was soothing enough to banish evil spirits from Saul.
mortimer says
important quotes for any musicians who think Islam is benign !

Reply: Yusuf/Stevens knows Islam is NOT a ‘religion of peace’, and he admitted that he would participate in murdering blasphemers.
He is no victim of Western people. He abandoned his fans. Islam victimizes women and kafirs, but turns its male followers into supremacists and victimizers.
Yusuf/Stevens is not an active jihadist. He allowed himself to be turned into a ‘former musician’ by the absurdities of medieval Sharia law.
He is ‘victimized’ by Sharia law.
eduardo odraude says
I loved the music of Cat Stevens. Before he converted to Islam, he almost sounded like a prophet himself with his lyrics and vocal style, except that his “prophetic” message was not the totalitarian one of Muhammad, but the individualized message of an artist capable of singing with remarkable inspiration and conviction.
Stevens’ conversion to Islam just goes to show that talent does not guarantee that one has whatever it takes to avoid becoming part of the longest lived, most widely spread, most powerful and anti-human totalitarian system in history. But there are many examples of talented artists being idiots in their ideological affections.
Mauricio says
I agree with you Mr.Odraude: I think that “Morning has broken” was like heavenly music. But apparently his Greek-cypriot father was not a practicing Christian since Cat has to undergo a spiritual journey that included numerology and islam, to be able to fulfill his spiritual needs. I think that’s why catechism is important to children.
I wonder how muslims are dealing now with his big Buddha album and with his previous songs, like the “Jesus” song.
Demetrio says
I think that song is an arrangement of a British folk song.
Mauricio says
Demetrio, I am amazed: I didn’t know that my favorite Cat Stevens song (Morning has broken) was actually a Christian hymn. I appreciate it.

“Thou shalt hate”..
islam has a Doctrine of HATE[al walaa wal baraa] ,CURSES Christians for believing in Jesus Christ{koran 9:30} and says the Jews are a people ‘to be despised and hated’ {koran 2:65} and classifies ALL non-muslims as ..
‘the WORST of Created beings”
koran 98:6
Anyone who is not a muslim,including Leftist trolls, are ‘the WORST of created beings’ as far as islam is concerned.
3 types of troll appear at JW:the muslim apologist,the virtue-signalling Leftie and the occasional mad one {usually blathering on about Zionists,the Jews etc}
You know where you stand with the muslim troll.They are defending their cult.That is to be expected.
But the Leftist trolls don’t seem to get that, as far as islam is concerned ,they are useful idiots and are INFIDELS and thus are classed as
‘the WORST of created beings”
koran 98:6
Notice how they love to play the ‘race’ card{but islam is not a race},the ‘islamophobia’ trick{but islamophobia is a made up thing}complain about the hate speech here{but the hate is coming from islam’s teachings and doctrines!} and bigotry{and islam’s religious Apartheid system isn’t bigotry?}
Cat stevens subscribes to an evil cult that has a Doctrine of HATE[al walaa wal baraa] a cult that calls non-muslims ‘the WORST of created beings’ koran 98:6 so it is not unreasonable to point that out.

I have no idea what this is a reference to, and can find no such allusion.
If this did indeed happen, then I condemn it–but given my being unable to find anything, it does not appear likely.
How does this change Yusuf Islam’s call for the murder of Salman Rushdie, though? Of course, it *does not*.
More:
So, let’s look away and tell fanciful lies about Islam instead.
………………………….
None of this is fanciful–Yusuf Islam openly said that he supported the murder of Salman Rushdie:
On 21 February 1989, Yusuf Islam addressed students at Kingston Polytechnic (now Kingston University) in London about his conversion to Islam and was asked about the controversy in the Muslim world and the fatwa calling for Salman Rushdie’s execution. He replied, “He must be killed. The Qur’an makes it clear – if someone defames the prophet, then he must die.”
This is not fanciful–it happened. Many news outlets reported on this at the time.
And this was no one-off, either:
Two months later, Islam appeared on an Australian television programme, ABC’s Geoffrey Robertson’s Hypotheticals:
Robertson: You don’t think that this man deserves to die?
Y. Islam: Who, Salman Rushdie?
Robertson: Yes.
Y. Islam: Yes, yes.
Robertson: And do you have a duty to be his executioner?
Y. Islam: Uh, no, not necessarily, unless we were in an Islamic state and I was ordered by a judge or by the authority to carry out such an act – perhaps, yes.
[Some minutes later, Robertson on the subject of a protest where an effigy of the author is to be burned]
Robertson: Would you be part of that protest, Yusuf Islam, would you go to a demonstration where you knew that an effigy was going to be burned?
Y. Islam: I would have hoped that it’d be the real thing.
…
These were not the only instances, either. At another point, he said that if he saw Rushdie, that he would alert other Muslims to come and kill him.
He cites the Qur’an’s call for the murder of “blasphemers” here.
Then, the above was Islam’s response to the Fatwa against Rushdie by Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Rushdie#The_Satanic_Verses_and_the_fatw%C4%81
This is infamous. The idea that this never happened is of course absurd. In fact, several of Rushdie’s associates were murdered.
And this is all based on the orthodox texts of Islam.
“Rod’s” claim that any of this is “fanciful lies” is obviously false.
Note that he *still* will not condemn this savagery.

That “oaf,” as you like to call our president, is the only one who spoke the truth about the religion that’s terrorizing the world. And in this forum that garners a great deal of praise.
At a time of universal deceit for islam he unabashedly spoke the ugly truth about the hate muslims have for us and our freedoms. I put more value in a honest speaking man than a clever one who kneels before the unworthy mob or lies for a violent religion for votes. I wish Trump were more articulate, but the fact that he isn’t doesn’t mean he can’t be an effective, capable leader. Trump tried to install pride in America with “Make America Great Again,” but the left never gave the guy a chance. Everything he says or does is misconstrued, lied about, or distorted into some race hatred or Nazi ill will. Imagine trying to do the hardest job on the planet with half the world hating you unjustly, with your every word and move under high magnification for criticism. Not all bad public speakers are bad leaders, just like not all good speakers are good leaders. Winston Churchill did not start out as a great speaker, but over time with practice he became a superb orator. Hitler was an excellent orator, but was a mad genius that provoked mass murder. I have no illusions about Trump, I admit he needs work. But for people like me who utterly despise mass murder and terror for religion, he can’t help but be on my list of people to listen to and care about. I just mailed my ballot, and I bet you can guess who I voted for.

I can see from that testimony of Yusef/Cat that he has shit for brains. On the 1 to 10 scale of religious credibility I’d have to rank that story at about a “1” for proof of divine intervention. So in that swirling ocean of waves and undercurrent you’re totally convinced that one wave came not from ocean turbulence but from a supreme being? Good grief, this kind of stupidity can only help retarded islam. So in gratitude to god he turns to the most violent religion on the planet that portrays god as a morally insane, bigoted killer. I’m sure god is proud of you, Yusef the Cat [Sarc off].
“I am part of the minority…misunderstood.” Yusef the Cat
Well you aren’t misunderstood by me, I get you all too well. You’re an idiot with little appreciation for reasoned thinking and good morals. You threw your life away on a religion built upon the horrors of war, blood, and tyranny–islam promotes murder and hate, but an ocean wave on your butt makes you accept that evil as godly truth. In my mind Cat is your typical dumb ass convert to islam, an adult body controlled by an infant’s brain.
I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them Allah, demon god of the muslims
Anyone who supports those words of allah also supports terror for religion. Muslims support terror for religion because they bow to that god, that’s my view. They worship allah’s words as eternal truths to follow, therefore they support terror. Doesn’t matter if they are “peaceful” themselves, they are in effect conspirators with those who do the violence to advance their religion and culture. These “peaceful” muslims participate in jihad with their financial support and bigoted influence in every area of our societies, in our politics, our schools, their mosques, and our neighborhoods. This participation comes in small ways and large, but it can’t be denied. In fact they readily admit they consider islam greater than our laws and freedoms, and if they were in power you can bet most JW fans would be dead or in jail for the things we’ve said about that murdering religion. And that fact should be cause for great alarm to all freedom loving people.

And I believe it could be, something evil has begun
Oh I’ve been brainwashed lately, dreaming about the world under islam
And I believe it could be, some day it’s going to come (wrong!)
Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a ‘taqiyya train’
Oh ‘taqiyya train’ take this world, come take us to hell again.
Now I’ve been brainwashed lately, thinking about the evil things to come
And I believe it could be, something evil has begun
Oh ‘taqiyya train’ sounding louder
Glide on the ‘taqiyya train’
Come on now ‘taqiyya train’
Yes, ‘taqiyya train’ evil roller
Everyone jump upon the ‘taqiyya train’
Come on now ‘taqiyya train’
Get your bags together, deceive your good friends, too
Cause it’s getting nearer, it soon will be with you
Now come and join the death cult, it’s not so far from you
And it’s getting nearer, soon it will all be true (wrong!)
Oh ‘taqiyya train’ sounding louder
Glide on the ‘taqiyya train’
Come on now ‘taqiyya train’
Now I’ve been brainwashed lately, thinking about the world under islam
Why must we go on living, why can’t we all die for allah.
‘Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a ‘taqiyya train’
Oh ‘taqiyya train’ take this world, come take us to hell again.
Oh ‘taqiyya train’ sounding louder
Glide on the ‘taqiyya train’
Come on now ‘taqiyya train’
Yes, ‘taqiyya train’ evil roller
Everyone jump upon the ‘taqiyya train’
Come on ‘taqiyya train’
Yes, it’s the ‘taqiyya train’!
