Country superstar Dolly Parton was thrilled when Yusuf Islam agreed to collaborate with her on her new covers album because she wanted to show fans he's a "really sweet man."
Parton has been a longtime friend and fan of the folk icon, formerly Cat Stevens, and was horrified when she learned he had been refused entry to America last year.
Islam was turned back when his name appeared on a mysterious list of potential terrorist sympathisers. He has been fighting the humiliating immigration mess ever since. And, by including him on her new album, Those Were The Days, patriotic Parton felt she was doing him a great service because her fans would never expect her to collaborate with anyone who meant to harm Americans.
She says: "I had recorded a song on this CD, called Where The Children Play, and I thought it was worth a chance (to ask Islam to join her), so we sent an email… and he said: 'Sure, I'll play the guitar.'
"He's a precious man. He's got a lot of bad press lately but I think he's out to try to save the world, not destroy it."
Oops... Title should be "Dolly defends Yusuf Islam"
"I think he's out to try to save the world, not destroy it."
So, he's not an Islamofascist, he's one of their useful idiots.
Dolly, Dolly, Dolly. You're breaking my heart here.
If only those were brains.
What a hoot!
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.''
The singer, who adopted the name Yusuf Islam when he converted to Islam, made the remark during a panel discussion of British reactions to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's call for Mr. Rushdie to be killed for allegedly blaspheming Islam in his best-selling novel ''The Satanic Verses.'' 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.
LOL
To "save the world" from an islamic point of view would be to destroy it from ours.
Yeah, "really sweet man," huh? God, I hate the dummies in Hollywood.
If he's such a sweet man, what the hell was he doing on the terrorist watch list while at the same time, frequenting mosques typically filled with Western-hating Islamofascists?
Dolly, don't make me have to shelve it.

Guess maybe she doesn't want her album to sell.
"Ride on the Religion-of Peace Train...oo-ay-ooh-ay-***BOOM***"
Hollywood? Oh my...didn't you know? It's been updated.

Dolly is obviously suffering from silicone brain.
