(Updated) Rally to Restore Yusuf Islam's Reputation (aka, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens)

Weekly Standard "You can imagine the media firestorm that would have engulfed Glenn Beck for inviting someone who'd wished death upon a writer for exercising his free speech rights. But, hey, Cat Stevens made some pretty great music, so Stewart gets a pass, right?"

I cannot say Islam has brought out the best in Mr. Stevens.

Fatwa-endorsing singer featured at “Restoring Sanity” rally   [Stevens-Islam] "added 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’.” "
Peace Train Lyrics  Do the words apply only to Muslims?
