Aidan.


Yusuf Islam is a very fine person, a credit to himself and any who are associated with him

That man turned his back on what HE believed to be detrimental to his life, good luck to him, he is an example to follow.

In my humble opinion. :wink:

Cat Stevens or Steven Demetre Georgiou was not a Greek Cypriot, his father was. His mother was Swedish and he was born in London in 1947.

His parents divorced when he was 8 and he went to live with his mother in Sweden. He returned to England when a teenager and attended Hammersmith College in London.

His musical career lasted from 1970 to 1977 when he suffered a near death experience by nearly drowning.

During his recovery from the accident, his brother had given him a copy of the Qu'ran, which Stevens credited with helping him to find peace and recover from the incident.

As is customary when one converts to Islam, Stevens changed his name to Yusuf Islam, after the prophet Joseph - interpreter of dreams.

He never was a Greek Cypriot except by parentage.

Your responses are quite amusing in that they invariably reveal the fact that you are quite unable to digest the content of that which is written.

You seem to have a fixation with tyrants and despots and quite an unhealthy habit of assuming that anyone who doesn't agree with your juvenile rantings, MUST, either be a supporter of them or actually BE one of them.

This unfortunate tendency is probably the result of your involvement (by your own admission) in the practise of bullying, you are possibly trying to erase something in your own past that drives you to such unreasonable assumptions.

Actually you are a man to be more pitied than laughed at, surely you cannot REALLY believe in the rubbish you submit in reply to an intelligent observation, the more you do so, the more you give justification to those you insult to maintain their beliefs.

Are you not able to understand that the alternative would be a society of people like YOU ?.

Perish the thought, :roll:

I have not had the pleasure of meeting the chap, however, in my travels I have come across several examples of his generosity and kindness among suffering people.

Yusuf Islam epitomizes what the meaning of Islam is, he would certainly not condone wanton violence under any circumstance, particularly as a result of political chicanery.

Best Wishes to you Aidan, I perceive another side to you mate. :wink:

Eliko,I've got a lot of time for Muslims & Jews,as they've got a lot in common with members of the Orthodox & Protestant Churches.I've got no time for Roman Catholics though,because of their bigoted views,& because they're Hell-bound idolaters as well.

I am prompted to highlight your drivel once again in the hope that you might take the time to STUDY the content of that which I initially submitted,(I refer to the whole article) not a small part which gives your claptrap license to reveal itself , as usual. :wink:

Let me see.... I'll concede the first point on GC descent and refute the second bit about you saying being born in London.

You just said he was a British singer.

PS Notice how nice I am being tonight...
