Cat Stevens (screw his Islamic name and faith) agreed with the death sentence placed on Salman Rushdie over the Satanic Verses. "Of course he must be killed." That should have been the end of his career, and resulted in a permanent boycott of his @#$%^&! songs. Let's make it happen.

Stevens was asked on a BBC TV interview what the Koran would say about blasphemy. He said that it wasn't his view and he was misquoted. Radio stations around the world banned his music after the statement. The dust would eventually die down and you can occasionally hear a Cat Stevens song on the radio now.
