Cat Stevens Gives Support To Call for Death of Rushdie By CRAIG R. WHITNEY LONDON, May 22 -- The musician known as Cat Stevens said in a British television program to be broadcast next week that rather than go to a demonstration to burn an effigy of the author Salman Rushdie, I would have hoped that it'd be the real thing. . . . He also said that if Mr. Rushdie turned up at his doorstep looking for help, I might ring somebody who might do more damage to him than he would like I'd try to phone the Ayatollah Khomeini and tell him exactly where this man is, said Mr. Islam, who watched a preview of the program today and said in an interview that he stood by his comments. source

Cat Stevens - In His Own Words

Cat Stevens wrote:

The Koran makes it clear, if someone defames the Prophet, then he must die. The backlash over reports that I'd supposedly endorsed the death sentence that Islamic fundamentalists had levied against Salmon Rushdie for the alleged blasphemy of The Satanic Verses hurt quite a lot because that whole episode was taken out of context. But it was merely a reiteration of scriptural principle, not a literal call to action. (Source)

When Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) was thinking about killing Salman Rusdhdie, he was also singing his song, "I'm Gonna Get Me a Gun."

So you think you can push me around
And make me run Well I'm gonna tell you now
I'm gonna get me a gun
I'm gonna get me a gun
And all those people who put me down
You better get ready to run,
Cuz I'm gonna get me a gun..

The Journey to the Dark Side begins with a single step, the Shahada.

Kind Regards, Farside

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free

You know that there are . . . - (source)

Does Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) still love his dog? He wrote the song, "I love my Dog."

I love, I love my dog
Yes I love, I love my dog
And I love, I love my dog - (source)
