Well, there ya are, Foxy. I told you the pendulum had swung against leftism. You know that must be true when that darling of the multicultural left, Binoy Kampmark, actually writes an article putting the boot into Islam.

Cat Stevens is a poster child for why Islam is so dangerous and it is incompatible with the west. He once wrote songs full of peace, love and mung beans, but then committed treason against his own Greek heritage by converting to the religion of his people's historical oppressors.

From a pacifist to a person whom admits that he would murder Salmon Rushdie if he could get away with it. That is what Islam does. It is a religion of hate and oppression which instructs it's followers to murder anybody who criticises their evil and backward religion. And Foxy sees nothing wrong with Islam?

Naturally, lefty dahhhlling Jacinta Ahearn had to grandstand with this Muslim celebrity. Jacinta does not care if "Yusuf Islam's" own stated attitudes gives a hint as to why Bartlett went into that mosque to get some western payback for years of terrorism instigated by Muslims against westerners. The important thing for Jacinta is to pretend that Muslims are just like we are.

She knows that importing Muslims into western countries was a huge mistake. But she can never admit that mistake because she is from a young educated caste who think they are infallible. Admitting they were wrong is just too unpalatable a piece of crow to eat. Better to just keep up appearances and blame the growing and perfectly justifiable anti Muslim sentiments on your political enemies.

Yusuf Islam is no longer the famous Cat Stevens. This is even though he repeated some old Cat Stevens' songs in occasional "new" albums 2006, 2009, 2014 and 2017. He now feels safe to perform some old hits like Peace Train.

Adopting Islam and renaming himself Yusuf Islam in December 1977 began Cat Stevens' CAREER SLIDE. His conversion was partly inspired by hearing the call to prayer in Muslim Morocco. Stevens grew an uncut beard which is now grey and looks oddly reminiscent of Osama bin Laden. Following his conversion, Islam abandoned his musical career for nearly 30 years.

On whether Islam really ended his career, Cat/Yusuf Islam, explained that when he became a Muslim in 1977, the Leader of his mosque told him that it was fine to continue as a singer. As musician, as long as the songs were morally acceptable AND he didn't play his guitar which being a stringed instrument is “haram” forbidden.

Later other Muslims said performing was completely “haram” forbidden so after a UNICEF concert in 1979 Yusuf Islam decided to stop performing live until 2007.

Yusuf Islam now used his music royalties to fund Islamic schools in the UK and Islamic charities in Indonesia, Iraq and Syria as well as UNICEF.

The US put him on a No Fly List. This caused him to be deported from Israel and the US in subsequent years. Those countries believed some of the charities he funded had terrorist links.

Cat Stevens is a nasty piece of work indeed, calling as he did for the death of Salman Rushdie. Rushdie's only crime was against literature.

It is often said that converts to alien, loony religions and cultures are the worst, and this creature proves it.

There is no place in Islamic philosophy for the spilling of a single drop of innocent blood and no place in paradise for those who knowingly do or are the hand that loads the gun or radicalise the terrorist.

. As for Cat Stevens? We can all form immature views based on ignorance and inculcated conditioning and indoctrination. Yet be open to having those views challenged by incontrovertible evidence that we were wrong!

Which never is the case for the brainwashed for birth, Acolytes of division and hate! Be they Muslin, Hindu, Buddhist, or conflicted fundamentalistic Christians.

None of who are big enough or man enough to admit they got it wrong when that has been the case.

But like LEGO, CONTINUE TO PROSECUTE ALL ISLAM ON THE HEATED MUSINGS OF A FEW HIGH RANKING OFFICIALS AND THE ATROCITIES OF A MORIBUND MISCREANT MINORITY!

The catastrophe in Christchurch is a wake-up call for all who think that violence solves anything. But only ever begets more of the same!

Koran 9:5: But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem.

Koran 9:123: "Oh ye who believe! Murder those of the disbelievers and let them find harshness in you."

Koran 9:73 Prophet, make war on the unbeleivers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home, an evil fate.

Koran 8:12: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil TERROR into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."

Koran 9:123 O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you....

Koran : 3.151 Soon shall We cast TERROR into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!

Koran 47:4: "Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads; at length; then when you have made wide Slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives": thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom:

Koran 8:67: "It is not fitting for an Apostle that he should have prisoners of war until He thoroughly subdued the land-."

"Had you not accepted Islam I would have beheaded you and cast your heads under your feet!" Mohammad quote.

If all of these instructions to murder and commit acts of terror had come out of Mein Kampf, perhaps Aiden B. could have grown a brain and figured out that the followers of this ideology are very dangerous.

Selectively quoting from a highly revised and massively edited book proves naught!

But does betray those who use it and other controversial literature/revision as fundamental activists, no better in their black hearts than those they selectively target with their hate-filled froth!

If you wish to quote from the Qoran, LEGO, suggest you use that version used by the Sofie tradition, (peaceful cohabitation) the least revised most original version and coming from the Prophet's own sect.

Not saying I agree with most or any of that philosophy, just that it can't be used by a fundamental activist (you) as a tool to spread messages of hate and division! ENOUGH ALREADY!
