On February 21, 1989, Yusuf Islam addressed students at Kingston University in London about his conversion to Islam and was asked about the controversy in the Muslim world and the fatwa calling for Salman Rushdie's execution. He replied, "He must be killed. The Qur'an makes it clear - if someone defames the prophet, then he must die." --wikipedia

Wow. That's huge. Can't believe they had him sing.

I can.

At the time, that was a very big story. I bet most of those at today’s event weren’t alive then, or just don’t care. Then again, most of them probably had no idea who he was.

They sure had to dig deep to find a “moderate” Muslim for their show of diversity, and their “moderate” has advocated death for someone for daring to speak freely.
