Cat Stevens: Would you?

He’s a total homophobe—instant turnoff

Yeah isn’t his name Youssef something or other now, and he’s definitely homophobic.

Yes, he's Muslim now. Links to his homophobia, pls?

And can we get back to how fucking HAWT he was?

Was he homophobic before his RELIGIOUS MANIA?

He's in his early 70s, OP--have at him!

OP- I like him even better here

Genius songwriter, converting to one of the most homophobic and misogynistic religions disqualifies him.

I saw him at the Bottom Line way back and Laura Nyro was in the audience we were all drooling over this handsome guy.

Greek/Swedish descent, English citizen. Gorgeous in 1971. The Sufjan Stevens of his day. Sad we lost him, I wonder if he will leave Islam. Greeks don't often convert to that religion, even going Greek Orthodox would be an improvement.

Hasanabi on youtube looks like he could be his kid. Or his kid.

I would have when he was young, cute, and not a Muslim whack job

Ask Salman Rushdie what he thinks of this man.

Give me one night, I'll change his opinion about us.

He's got perky nipples and looks like he's hiding his trouser snake between his legs.

[quote] Ask Salman Rushdie what he thinks of this man.

Ugh. That ugly bald social climber who hasn't written a readable book in 25 years? No thanks.

r13, unless you somehow are in possession of the Time Machine, you would not have one night with him looking the way he looks in that photo. He's 72 years old now.

The Morning Has Broken/Rick Wakeman story...

RW...

R13, I like the way you think.

R6, that is FABULOUS and MOD!

I would have preferred he turned to the Ancient Greek religion with the various Gods-Zeus , Apollo, Aphrodite, etc.

It's interesting that no one has produced any proof that Cat himself is homophobic.

Talk about painting with a broad brush.

Oh, go back to your Jack-off fest, OP. Not only is cat homophobic, he believes in religious fatwas, which is what he called for against Salman Rushdie. Yusuf Islam is a no-good homophobic piece of trash.

^ links, pls

otherwise, do fuck yourself!

If ANYONE on this planet smells like self-righteous patchouli, it's Stevens.

I loved Cat before he became whatever. He was stunning to look at with his swarthy body and buttery voice. I remember a gentle, peaceful soul with hippy, peace/love type of music. Truly, he was a hero of the 60's stoners and everyone was so surprised when he found the Qur'an. Such a waste.

I would have....back in the day. I dated a few Persian/Iranian men and the sex was amazing.

These days, I'll listen to this version of the song......

Why did people in the late 60s and 70s all look so dirty? Is it the type of film they used back in the day?

The Koran worked for me.

[quote] Why did people in the late 60s and 70s all look so dirty? Is it the type of film they used back in the day?

Yes dear, it's because modern film techniques were developed 50 years ago.

Thank you r25.

What a perfectly lovely show that was.

R25- Cat Stevens is not Persian or Iranian he's Greek.

And a fucking asshole, R25

^ LINKS, you dumm ho

....

Patti D'Arbanville had some seriously PHENOMENAL dick in her time! Cat Stevens, too?

Looks like a fag to me.

^^ I wish...

R5, still handsome.

Yeah, he's not a nice guy, so no, I wouldn't fuck him.

Here also is Cat's view of the hullabaloo:

[quote]I'm very sad that this seems to be the No. 1 question people want to discuss. I had nothing to do with the issue other than what the media created. I was innocently drawn into the whole controversy. So, after many years, I'm glad at least now that I have been given the opportunity to explain to the public and fans my side of the story in my own words. At a lecture, back in 1989, I was asked a question about blasphemy according to Islamic Law, I simply repeated the legal view according to my limited knowledge of the Scriptural texts, based directly on historical commentaries of the Qur'an. The next day the newspaper headlines read, "Cat Says, Kill Rushdie." I was abhorred, but what could I do? I was a new Muslim. If you ask a Bible student to quote the legal punishment of a person who commits blasphemy in the Bible, he would be dishonest if he didn't mention Leviticus 24:16.

[quote]I was certainly not prepared or equipped to deal with shark-toothed journalists and the whole way in which the media spins stories. I was cleverly framed, I would say, by certain questions, where I couldn’t for instance rewrite the 10 Commandments. You can’t expect me to do that. At the same time I never actually ever supported the fatwa. I even wrote a whole press statement which, very early on, which the press ignored – completely ignored. They went for the one which was written by the journalist who originally wrote the story. And so I had to live through that.

Who believes his version, R39? He said what he said, I don't see how that's anyone else's fault.

^ life must be so cold and sexless in your black and white universe

Video of Yusef Islam saying he would kill Rushdie if ordered to do so.

The Man fka Cat Stevens Calls For The Death Of Salman Rushdie, and Fay Weldon wants Stevens arrested for inciting violence.

^ wtf are those clips from, a game show? Some British Nuremburg trials?

If one joins a religion known for being homophobic then no further proof of homophobia is needed.

^ that's absolutist, black and white bullshit

Sounds so sexy here.

Can only imagine how beautiful his dark pubes must have been.

Imagine your nose meeting their musky goodness as his meaty cock entered your throat..

OP - Where's the option for only if a time machine is involved?

I'd still do Daniel in a heartbeat. He's so sensitive. Patti said she went away for a couple of days to NYC, and he missed her so much he wrote "my lady d'Arbanville".

what, nobdy posted it yet ?

Patti is a truly beautiful woman, and cool AF

On February 21, 1989, he (Cat Stevens) was asked by a student at Kingston University whether the fatwa against Salman Rushdie was justifiable. "Rushdie must be killed. The Qur’an makes it clear. If someone defames the prophet, then he must die," was the response of the writer of Peace Train. Two months later, Stevens/Islam was a panelist on BBC show Hypotheticals. When host Geoffrey Robertson asked him if he thought Rushdie deserved to die, Stevens/Islam's response was: "Yes, yes!" Call for Rushdie to be killed Robertson then asks him: "And do you have a duty to be his executioner?" "Uh, no, not necessarily, unless we were in an Islamic state and I was ordered by a judge or by the authority to carry out such an act – perhaps, yes," Stevens responds. Robertson: "Would you give him shelter?" Stevens/Islam: "Yes, I’d try to phone the Ayatollah Khomeini and tell him exactly where this man is." Robertson then asks him if he would go to a demonstration where he knew an effigy of Rushdie was going to be burned? Steven's chilling response is: "I would have hoped that it’d be the real thing; but actually, no, if it were just an effigy I don’t think I’d be that moved to go there." Then, in 2000, Stevens showed another side to his bigotry. The British government was looking to a repeal a law banning the "promotion of homosexuality". Stevens/Islam condemned the move as a further deterioration in religious and moral standards. "This is part of the deterioration of the moral statutes that we are witnessing day by day," Stevens said.

True story : I was in Paris, a million years ago, and a friend took me to a theatre to see a play in which Patti's french husband was the lead. it was a comedy and he had a naked walk (well almost just wearing a t-shirt, you could see his thicc fat dick and low hanging balls swinging between his meaty, hairy thighs). Very funny play, very sexy guy. Anywayz My friend is in the biz, so we go backstage, we chat a bit, I teel him how much i admired his performance, that he was very funny and sexy, and he goes "why not?" and slips me his phone number. I was very young, and quite shocked. A married man ! + married to patti d'Arbanville ! I clutched my pearls, and never called.

OP is so silent in the face of real and repeated quotes detailing Stevens’ chilling and clearly stated desire to kill another human being in the name of his barbaric religion.

Cat Stevens, murderous Moslems and OP: garbage ideas, garbage people.

R52- It’s as if he’s been battling mental illness for 45 years.

Any bi rumors?

he's a pop star of the 60's, do the maths R56

I look at him, I see lice.
