“Not another stibby stabby moose limb” you might be saying? Well not exactly. You might remember him from the name Cat Stevens, a pop singer and song writer from the 60’s and 70’s and a damn fine one at that – until he converted to Islam in 1977, adopting the name Yusuf Islam, to add to all the thousands of Yusuf Islams in the moose limb world.
Don’t you find these converts to religion the worst of the lot? The fervour and the energy they throw into their new cause is impressive isn’t it? Fortunately, there are not too many celeb converts I can think of – maybe Lauren Booth, Cherie Blair’s sister. What I’ve noted, however, is that Yusuf and his pals have all come over very quiet since their ‘peaceful’ religion turned to shit. An interesting fairy tale led to Yusuf’s conversion. In 1976 Stevens nearly drowned off the coast of Malibu, California, United States, and it’s reported he shouted: “Oh, God! If you save me I will work for you.” He related that right afterward, a wave appeared and carried him back to shore.
After his conversion, he was prevented from continuing his musical career. So, basically, a fine musician had sold his musical soul in exchange for religion. When will some people realise that there is no finer religion than music? He did attempt to revive his career years later but replacing great hits like ‘Matthew and Son’, ‘Moonshadow’ and ‘Father and Son’ with quasi-religious stuff like ‘Peacetrain’. His career was never the same again.
For God’s sake Yusuf, look at those lyrics again and have a rethink . . . . . . . .
‘Cause I’m on the edge of darkness
There ride the Peace Train
Oh, Peace Train take this country
Come take me home again
Now I’ve been smiling lately,
Thinkin’ about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
Something good has begun
Yusuf, would you ever renounce this religion? No, no chance. This type of brainwashing is irreversible and I do appreciate it could possibly place your life in danger.
Cat Stevens, I loved you. Yusuf Islam, you’re a cunt. Now, I know we have a lot of dog lovers on IsAC, so I’d like to end with one of Cat’s hits I’m sure you’ll remember . .
“I Love My Dog.
Nominated by Bertie Blunt Tory Cunt
Fuck him, he chose the dark side and before that he was a hippy. The fact he called himself cat is bad enough, silly cunt.
20
Wonder if the cunt still loves dogs?
16
I think any dog would have a…ruff…time dealing with a cunt like that
11
He seems to have fallen prey to a perverted medieval cult.
So fuck him.
20
I used to sing “Morning Has Broken” at school assembly during my junior school days in the early 70s.
Back then I always thought Cat Stevens was a bit of a long-haired doped-up, hippy kind of cunt. But then when he moved to the Dark Side he just became a cunt.
And to be honest I thought he was dead!
18
That song was about 35 seconds of Stevens singing and 90 seconds of Rick Wakeman filling on piano. And very well; played too.
4
What is it about ‘folk’ musicians from that era? Richard Thompson (Fairport Convention) and Danny Thompson(Pentangle) also went over to this murderous death cult
2
I remember as a kid that every time we watched a Schools & Colleges programme, we would hear Cat Stevens singing ‘Remember The Days Of The Old School Yard’ as that weird diamond thing was on and the clock counted down…. He was just an inoffensive hippy type back then… Then he decided to to trade his wife for a camel… What a cunt. eh?…
7
I’m surprised he relaunched his career after dining at Alan’s Snackbar…
I thought the proper Snackbars don’t or aren’t allowed to listen to music or enjoy it as it may lead to lack of control.
What a pile of cunt.
What the fuck do they do for enjoyment then?
Fuck that, I’ll stay Christian.
In nomine Patris et Filii, et Spiritus Sanсti
Go fuck yourselves.
14
And then go fuck yourselves.
9
He’s got to fund his ‘brothers’ somehow 😂
7
Cat Stevens was already long past his creative sell-by-date by the time he quit music and joined the paèdo death cult so fuck him.
19
They should make an advert:
“Music career going too well? Writing and recording plenty of wonderful songs with poignant and exciting lyrics? Have a cool and hip style to your look?
Then try ….God! Yes, surround yourself in the nonsense of religion and mention him in every interview! Start writing trite lyrics and singing mundanely!
Give it a go! Begin your new shit career and Find God today!🧙🏾
12
I think his real name is Terry Stephens I guess it doesn’t have quite the same ring as Cat Stephens. A great loss to the music world.
5
Steven Demetre Georgiou apparently. Still sounds better than Yusuf Islam the stupid useless cunt.
4
Sounds as if he may have had more names than Zsa zsa Gabor
2
An odd religion for a Greek Cypriot to plump for. I thought most religious Bubble n Squeaks are Greek Orthodox?
10
true and they have a massive bee in their bonnet about their neighbours, mind you historicaly it is understandable.
7
I love cat stevens.
Wild world being my favourite tune of his.
Why did he choose Allah when drowning?
Not Poseidon, Namor, or Aquaman?
Seems bollocks.
7
I can’t understand it Miserable. If he’d stuck with God, it would have enabled him to walk back to the shore.
5
Agreed. Especially when you think of the atrocities carried out by the Moslem Turks and Kurds against Greek and Armenian Christians.
5
Just another celebrity crackpot who got into a religion or some stupid cult… Madogga, George Harrison, Tom Cruise, Sinead O’ Cuntor, John Revolting, Cliff Richard, Cannon and Fucking Ball, those U2 pricks… Seen one celebricunt religious crank, seen ’em all….
10
Bob Dylan went a bit shite around 1977/78. I wonder what happened…
4
And Jim (Roger, my arse) McGuinn won’t re-form the Byrds, because he has ‘found Jee-sus’ and he sees David Crosby as a heathen…. It appears that religion really does cripple great artists…
Worked the other way for Zeppelin though.. Pagey was into all sorts of strange shit, but they made fucking ace albums….
3
Well he already the beard so he was half way there. It makes you wonder if he would be so quick to be a covert today with all the jihadi shit going on and then try to sell his new music.
These converts to Islam make me livid. As if there isn’t enough peacefuls spreading like a cancer across the globe. It’s piss easy to become one as well, unlike converting to Judaism where you have to take lessons for about a year, you just have to submit to Allah and your in.
I got furious over NZ prime minister Jacinda Ahern Donning a hijab when showing solidarity with the peacefuls after the Brent Tarrant attack on a mosque. I’m not against her sympathizing and condemning the actions of a madman, she has to as PM but put one of those on in her own non- islamic country? Unnecessary. Like saying to the world that her head should really be covered up. So cunty.
11
Funny how they all seem to bang on about ‘peace’ isn’t it?
8
I like the wave story, it reminds me of a joke.
on a Nato exercise a Para is seconded to a Turkish parachute team, each time they jump They shout Allah Ukbah!
The para is slightly bemused and asks them why they do this, one of them says “if my chute were not to open Allah will protect me.
So time passes and one day he jumps and his chute fails, as he plummets down he cries Allah Ukbah and a large brown hand reaches out of the clouds, catches him and gently lowers him to the earth.
The Para stands in the field in shock looking at his tattered chute and mutters “Thank Christ for that”
And a big brown foot shoots out of the clouds and stamps on him.
14
Shurely there’d be less van der Waals force disruption needed to prevent the parachute from breaking in the first place than to claw back the catastrophe after?
1
I think he probably failed to add that he was sitting on a surfboard when a wave brought him back to shore!
2
I believe a dinghy brought Cat Stevens to shore, then he was badly injured in the stampede as 35 “child refugees” scrambled off it on their way to the promised land.
Religion is like a penis, do what you want with it at home but wave it in my face and we will have a problem.

Another post war entitled beatnik cunt that should just shut the fuck up and enjoy his money.

Top Avatar Shackledragger!

John Lennon was always shite what’s his excuse ?
8
Lennon became a champagne commie instead…
7
Lennon was never a Commie. Hippy dippy cunt, yes. But no Commie.
2
Lennon was an IRA loving cunt…
5
John Lennon managed to be the biggest cunt in The Beatles which is one hell of an achievement.
2
I rather like him, and his music. Though I also like shitting in my hand, and punching it.

“‘Cause I’m on the edge of darkness
There ride the Peace Train
Oh, Peace Train take this country..” etc.
Alan seems very consistent here. Can he take countries?
•Yes
How many methods does he have?
•One
What is that method?
•This is where history books come in. Or molecular genetics. Either way the most consistent result is least likely to be fabricated nonsense.
Will this method be superseded now that empiricist techniques (such as for thinking about the universe) (or, let’s face it, even thinking at all) have won the day?
•No
Why?
•Because Alan is a cunt
Are all his little toadies cunts too?
•Yes
How cunt are his toadies?
•About eleven – let’s face it, if what they squirt out their arseholes had any veracity at all none of them would need to be cunts in the first place.

American band 10,000 Maniacs did a version of Peace Train on their 1987 debut album, In My Tribe. A year later, after Cat Stevens publicly endorsed Ayatollah Khomeini’s fatwa calling for Salman Rushdie to be murdered for the crime of writing a mildly critical novel centred around the Koran, the band promptly had Peace Train removed from all subsequent pressings of the album.
9
10,000 Maniacs… That Natalie Merchant had nice tits…
5
The signs were there pre-Yusuf Islam, ‘Oh Very Young’, ‘Where Do the Children Play’ and the jihadi anthem ‘The First Cut is the Deepest’.
7
“ The first cut is the deepest”
😂😂😂

🎵”Hymen has bro-ken, like a young bri-ide…”

Being born into the religion of peace is one thing but actually making a conscious decision to join it should be declared a mental illness.
What a cunt!
The petition, grooming gang report is now at 37900!
11
There are currently over 100,000 white Muslim converts in the UK… 😳

In a site about islam which I’m not going to link I read:
“To be a Muslim, one should also:
– Believe that the Holy Quran is the literal word of God, revealed by Him.
– Believe that the Judgment Day (Resurrection Day) is true and will come.
– Believe in the prophets that God sent and the books He revealed, and in His angels.
– Accept Islam as his/her religion.
– Not worship anything nor anyone except God.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-24516181
Bibles translated into certain languages were prohibited BY THE LAW OF THE LAND from equating God with Alan. How unusual. In the above excerpt it seemed as if the opposite were true.
Wouldn’t anyone .. .. I’ve forgotten where I was going with that. Maybe I ought to link the “How To” after all? I’ll do it separately so, if it’s too much, it can be nuked.

Earlier I referred to some stuff about conversion to Cat S., who was actually playing in a shop yesterday I walked straight out, here is the source which I know looks like spam but it isn’t – it’s just the source I used. Nuke at will. https://www.islamreligion.com/articles/204/how-to-convert-to-islam-and-become-muslim/

I think we need to build more nut houses 😁

Signed it this morning. 👍

Ever notice how these full on “peaceful” converts always seem to live in the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, etc.
You never hear: “Akbar Mohammed – formerly Joe Green – converted to Islam in 2019 and now lives a Shariah lifestyle in Riyadh.” – do you.
No they always live in Londonistan, New York, LA, Melbourne, etc., because – although they pontificate about the purity of a Shariah lifestyle – they want the safety blanket of western civilisation (should things turn south).
I would call these twats “Champagne Muslims” but as alcohol is haram, I shall instead call them “Minted Tea Muslims”.
But whatever you call them, one thing is for sure, they’re ALL cunts to a one!
Cunts!
14
And if you want to flip it the other way round and find former Muslims converting to Christianity and being vocal about it, they are as rare as rocking horse shit.

Because they get murdered LL.
The religion of peace.

Shiraz muslims? Shiraz (the Persian city) is renowned for wine. Long history but whether the stuff is still available there I’m not about to find out. Quite scenic from 40,000 feet, outstanding mountains, I’d really like to explore them in a Ford Pop. chassis mated to a Harley Davidson V-twin side valve (with reduction drive) but the wall-to-wall fuck me every time I move something falls onto the floor.
3
I thought he was a cunt when he was still called Cat Stevens. Which is the dafter name? I remember seeing him on telly miming to one of his songs and he was bent double looking toward the camera as though he had gut ache and badly needed a shit. I wouldn’t have had one of his records given to me.
4
I remember his earlier records and they were shite… ‘I’m Gonna Get Me A Gun’ showed his peaceful tendencies way back in the 60s… Another peaceful sign was when he named an album ‘Mona Bone Jakon’ after his knob… What is it about peacefuls and their knobs?…
And Lady D’Arbanville is the drippiest load of bollocks ever recorded.. Like something off Led Zeppelin III without the swagger, talent, chops or charisma…..
4
So Dog saved him, why convert to Islam? Why not 7th Day Adventist, Mormon, Moonie?
4
I’m sure I saw Cat Stevens kneeling on a prayer mat in Hyde Park while a Jack Russell was humping him. He obviously still loves his dog then ?
5
I only know this old codger for that ‘Father and Son’ thingy (sounds creepily incestuous or like the title of a predatory kafflick priest sermon).
Bit before my time, but there were quite a few hippie dippy chaps and chapesses from that era. For some reason, good ol’ Yusuf puts me in mind of Donovan. Mellow (yellow) cunts!
5
Teaser and the firecat was a good album FB, and so was Tea for the tillerman, but I find it somewhat ironic that a Man who sang so much about peace has joined a death cult.
And don’t forget to sign the grooming petition!
2
Cheers for the recommendations, VF. Might check ‘em out. I love retro music, especially if it’s guitar-driven. I did sign that petition to have the Home Office report into gang grooming characteristics published. Crimes against children, particularly of a sexual nature, are about as heinous as it gets. They’re on par with murder. The criminal act per se is abhorrent enough, but equally as repugnant are the long-term effects of said criminal act; it destroys lives, families and, ultimately, the future generations and hence mankind. It’s very profound, actually, the repercussions it has.
Don’t understand why the HO won’t publish the report into the public domain. By withholding it, they are doing more damage to society and are actually insulting the public’s collective intelligence. It’s as if they think hoi polloi are too stupid to understand the report’s findings or will perhaps use the report as an excuse for political unrest (i.e., to stoke or foment race wars or vigilantism). This is not a race issue at all; it’s a humanity issue and about upholding what is morally right. If there is one report that’s in the public’s interest, it’s surely the very one that they’re witholding. It’s a ridiculous and bizarre decision by the Home Office and government.
6
If they publish it the first brick in the wall will come out and the rest will follow. The establishment is afraid, with very good reason and will fight tooth and nail to stop this report being made public.
And the people will finally find out what I have known a long time – appeasing snowflake Politicians, MSM, Social Services and Police have looked the other way, ignored, destroyed and “lost” vital evidence, arrested people who dared to say this was going on, ignored thousands of allegations, forced r*ped girls who got pregnant through the assaults to give access to the child to their abusers, constantly stated we have no problem with muslim r*pe gangs (let’s tell it how it is here, it’s not “grooming” – you do that to a horse) whilst an entire generation of children with nothing and nobody have been thrown to the p*edophile mudslime wolves without a second thought.
A rather bigger scandal than Windrush, and those culpable and liable should be doing hard time.
7
Not Father and Son. Matthew and Son. And it WAS shite.

You’re obviously not a fan nor a music historian. There were tracks of both titles – different songs.

Couldn’t disagree more Bertie. I salute him. I’m pretty sure he he was heavily into drugs and booze like all the sixties’ icons.. If Islam helped him get out of that empty superficial world all well and good.
I have heard him interviewed and he comes across as calm, well-balanced and mature in his thinking.
His lack of creativity is more to with his age than with his new religion. Only a very few Artists can keep coming up with original stuff into middle age.
He was detained at some American airport. It wasn’t him that made a song and dance about it to my mind. It was more the media.
Contrast him with Fat Reg. Who has become a Grotesque.
2
Fair enough Miles but you do seem to work on the premise that any religion is better than no religion!
However, that’s an argument we’ve covered several times before.
😁
4
Miles, i agree somewhat, it is superficial.
I look at senile old cunts like Mick & keef and i feel embarrassed for them.
Most great musical artists burn out in their 20s-early 30s, Bowie, Rolling Stones, being ones that spring to mind.
4
MNC, aren’t the Rolling Stones a pile of rolling bones by now?
2
I like a lot of his songs, especially Foreigner Suite. Lovely stuff. It’s as if he died when he joined that band of murderers. So sad.

And they are racist towards other vegetables – the religion of peas indeed!
