Muslim ex-pop star Cat Stevens wins libel damages from British papers

Pop singer turned Muslim activist Yusuf Islam, formerly Cat Stevens, said he had obtained "substantial" damages against two British newspapers which alleged he had been involved in terrorism.

In a statement released on his behalf, the 56-year-old, who sold 50 million records in the 1960s and 1970s, said he had also received apologies for the "false and highly defamatory allegations".

I wonder if he still wants Rushdie killed?

A. Who's "Rushdie"? Are you referring to Rush Limbauhoweverhisnameispselled?

B. Did he really say he wanted him dead, or was this just a joke?

[Wolfie]

Redneck is referring Salmon Rushdie (the guy who wrote Satanic Verses) which everyone and thier uncle in Muslum world wanted dead at the time. Of course no one killed him at the end since he proved as good in hidding as our buddy Osama.

I can't get it to play Umma. I'll have to trust you to tell me what it says.

[Umma]

awwe .... that's too bad... but you really arent missing much :D

[Wolfie]

I think you need realplayer for that.

[Redneck4sure]

I have realplayer but it needed an update. The auto update was blocked so a setting had to be changed. It plays now. btw...my son says the clip is Rob Zombie. Hell, I had no idea.

[KiwiCoromandel]

rob zombie by the sound of it......

[Redneck4sure]

That's what son said. I wouldn't want to bet money or get in a gun fight over it because I don't know. I ain't much on Rob Zombie based on my first listen
