Comments on: Yusuf Islam Reflects On His Return

Artist Once Known As Cat Stevens Talks About New Album

[dargay]

The Americans on this board seem very eager to insult and hate. For what reason? Islam is Islam its not what Americans make it to be and it never will be. Dump your pointless anti-islamism.

Some people wash and wash and the guilt and evil just never goes down the drain.

Not just Muslims but Christans as well. Each religion teaches that they will kill in the name of god and they do. The only real problem for them is when god does return he will not care that you say you were doing his will. The question will be what did you not understand about what I tried to teach you. It is not God that is the problem it is the false teaching that come from the people who claim to know God. Here in the US we see it in the religious leaders and in Muslims lands guess what they see it too. The problem is like here they are blinded by the very one they say is leading the other side. What a joke to follow blindly into death.

"On the Road to Find Out" is one of my favorite songs, along with "Father and Son", God, he had so many. "Peace Train" and the one about children, the guy was amazing. Cat Stevens come home and start writing music again.

[bellal-2009]

I agree with janem4, why is it so hard for a Muslim to denounce the horror that is being perpetrated in their name. It must be fear, if they come out in criticism they go on a death list.

"In every religion there will be history of the good and bad!
All we have to do is follow the good in it and I think the world would be a better place to live in.

We are only being self-deluded when we try mistake any so-called 'good history' of religion.

Why do you think that we insisting on teaching children only good stuff and spare then the bad stuf?

The fact is that young/ignorant/weak minds WILL NOT discriminate between 'good' and 'bad', between non-violence and violence.

Ignorant/young/weak minds will gravitate towards the 'bad'/violence almost as easily as it will gravitate towards the 'good'/non-violence.
No good teacher will give lessons in vengeance and violence as the religions have done.

Any idiotic ideology that teaches vengeance and violence to ignorant/young/weak minds (and they can only be taught to ignorant/young/weak minds) are scourges upon the planet and need to be gotten rid of!

The biblical bull and islamic *** teache CLEAR lessons in vengeance and violence to ignorant/weak/young and unfortunate minds.
And they need to be erased from the face of the planet.

They, insane islam and crazy christianity, have been Twin Evils upon the planet.

islam has never been a religion of peace ...
Jesus said "those who live by the sword die by the aword" ....
mohammed was a blood thirsty rapist ...read the history ...He killed, and raped women, and had a 8 year old bride ...nice? NO! This cat stevens guy can put all the spin he wants on islam and it is still a religion based on works and death!

[akarsno]

And those who uses religion for a bad cause .... are worst than the devil themselves.
If people change religion cause they did not believe of had faith in what ever religion they were brought up with ... they are not be blame, maybe the god we all seek sees it to proclaim peace among those who think theirs is better and is trying to communicate with those who have change faiths in what ever religion to others that every religion teaches the good. Consider it and do not condemn any person for it.
But one thing is important ... as long as they use their religion for a good cause and not a bad one.

[akarsno]

In every religion there will be history of the good and bad!
All we have to do is follow the good in it and I think the world would be a better place to live in.
People who uses religion to make buck for themselves are condemn to hell as far as I am concern.
And taking the context of any religion to make war against anyone cause they say it is written in their beliefs is wrong!
Those are the people who really do not know their own religion then but only want fame and glory in misleading those who truly seek the truth.

"...but the islmic founder was a sword wielding terrorist!" What website have you been getting your information from?

The "so-called" Muslims are in a mayhem today not because of Islam. It is because they do not follow the spirit behind the message of Islam, which is to attain peace by keeping God in mind with every of their action. This means being just, honest and respectful (examples of the Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him) when dealing with their fellow human beings.

Unfortunately, some Muslims take the verses in Quran out of their proper context and use them to advance their own agendas, as opposed to comprehending the peaceful message of Islam. This is akin to Christians using bibles to advance apartheid in South Africa, or the colonists using bible to eradicate the Indians; slavery, etc.

Brother Yusuf Islam provides an example of a good Muslim by doing more for humanity than many others. May God continue to give him the strength, courage and wisdom to continue on with his effort.

He must be on one long acid trip.
