Too bad he turned for the worst.
It's now Yusuf Cat Stevens BTW.

And he is in some serious troubles from his own new beliefs.

I've never said that change can not be bad. Just that change must happen.

It's up to us individually to take the correct direction.

@DeWayfarer besides converting to islam what has he done wrong?

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@TryingtoLava He has alienated himself from even Muslims. They don't like him. Has to do with their values versus his style of Islam.

@DeWayfarer Cat Stevens converted to Islam decades ago, though, so has something changed?

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@ArishMell Yeah, it seems many of the Islamic beliefs can't justify Stevens source of income. Saying it's against Islamic beliefs.

I really don't know the basis in their beliefs. Yet they definitely don't like him. 🤷🏻‍♂

@DeWayfarer Some of the strict sections of Islam object to all music. That would explain falling out with a professional musician.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@FreddieUK Probably a good part of the reason.

Yet think about the song that I posted and how even a moderate might react, if he understood it, in light of the Israeli situation.

That song would be the fuse to a keg of dynamite.
