“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 . .
