Yusuf has denied that he ever supported the fatwa placed on "Satanic Verses" author Salman Rushdie in 1989.
While flying to meet with Dolly Parton in 2004, Yusuf was deported back to the UK after his name somehow came up on the no fly list.

Whats with all the rude comments? Cat Stevens has done some awesome Charity work. He is a PEACE activist and has won several awards for promoting PEACE.. Some people on here are so judgemental and small minded. What is the world coming to? And to quote the Wicked Witch of the West "Ohhhh ....What a world! What a world!"
Something tells me "Mr PHD" is nowhere near a PhD. I'd say even "Mr. GED" would be a stretch.
Towel Head would slip an IED near your vehicle or family if he had the chance....he has come to learn to hate all that is non Islamic now--as if all who are not of Islam or Evil, and he like any of will do whatever it takes to stamp out Evil. In the Mideast they stamp it out with IEDs and from what i've heard the Islamics in Britain are learning the techinques quickly.
I'm sorry their hating is not welcome in the U.S. They may be welcome, but leave your hatred in your home country.
He'd just as soon kill you as sing you a love song. I liked his music once too, but since his conversion he has vowed to destroy all and whom do not believe.
His songs seem so silly now. Job like mine, Job like mine...memba that one? or the immortal "where do the children play"...now so he can go blow them up.
Be afraid very afraid. They are not like us and do not want what we want. They want the complete destruction of all who dont believe what they do. The ACLU will protect them until their own families are destroyed by them. Unbelievable.
I am not Islamic, Jewish or Christian. I want to remind you that for every fanatic giving each of these faiths a bad name, there are countless average believers who have to suffer the stigma of prejudice that haters dump on them. It's such a shame that three faiths who believe in the same one god cannot love each other.
Re Mr. Islam and his music: He's always been about peace and love. After several near-death episodes and searching spiritual paths for years, he was led to feel that Islam was the faith for him.
You haters on here will probably end up rotting in your hell right next to the Taliban and the Israeli army.
That "some event" was Yusuf's first concert in LA in more than 30 years, which Colin was one of the VIPs at.
If I avoided every entertainer who I had a gripe with, I'd have no entertainment in my life.
Tears of a Clown......So wait, tell me exactly what he has done that's so wrong? And no you can't use the fact that he is different then you as a reason to hate him.....I want actual events and dates.
I say cancel his visa and deport the Anti-Semitic jerk.
Israel would not let him into Israel.
"Peace Train" y'r ass!
Just FYI, TMZ editors, the word "fatwa" does not mean "death sentence" or "hit." A fatwa is a religious opinion given in answer to a specific question. Although the ayatollah may have issued a fatwa saying that Rushdie should be put to death, fatwa, of itself, does not mean death warrant. It's simply a religious ruling.
