Cat Stevens Refuses to Denounce Hamas
In this Sundays New York Times, Deborah Solomon interviews Islamopop star Cat Stevens, aka Yusuf Islam, aka Yusufand the way he answers questions about his support for terrorists is incredibly revealing in its shifty evasiveness: Trying to Get Cat Stevens To Back or Bash Hamas. (Hat tip: NJDhockeyfan.)
But then she raises the obviously still touchy issue of attempts abroad to link him to funding various extremist groups, including Hamas. He had just said he still sells about 1.5 million albums a year netting him a small fortune. What does he think of Hamas?
Thats an extremely loaded question, he replies. Pressed further, he says, I have never supported a terrorist group or any group that did other than charity and good to humankind.
Solomon responds by saying, fine, but many Americans would like moderate Muslims, such as himself, to denounce the extremists. Wouldnt he at least say he has contempt for Hamas?
I wouldnt put those words in my mouth, he complains. I wouldnt say anything on that issue. Im here to talk about peace. Im a man who does want peace for this world, says the man who wrote Peace Train, adding, and I dont think you will achieve that by putting people into corners and asking them very, very difficult questions about very contentious issues.
“and I don’t think you will achieve that by putting people into corners and asking them very, very difficult questions about very contentious issues.”
Anyone remember him? Yeah, he was banned from US for some 'unreasonable causes', he is interviewed.”
Hate mongers can never comprehend men of peace!Anyone remember him? Yeah, he was banned from US for some 'unreasonable causes', he is interviewed. Links at site:

There are no words, I can use
Because the meaning still leaves for you to choose
And I couldn't stand to let them be abused, by you.

“That’s an extremely loaded question,” he replies. Pressed further, he says, “I have never supported a terrorist group or any group that did other than charity and good to humankind.”

He already answered that, both in an interview and in song.Hate mongers can never comprehend men of peace!Anyone remember him? Yeah, he was banned from US for some 'unreasonable causes', he is interviewed. Links at site:

That was Cat Stevens before he became Yusuf Islam.
People - and their povs/beliefs - can change.
He was for peace, he claims he is for peace now. Makes one wonder why doesn't he denounce terrorists, denounce the extremists.
