I remember another incident in the late 1980’s:

Following Ayatollah Khomeini’s 14 February 1989 death fatwa against author Salman Rushdie for his book, The Satanic Verses, Yusuf Islam, previously known as British folk singer, Cat Stevens (Yep, the man who wrote and sang among others — PEACE TRAIN), made statements that were interpreted as endorsing the killing of Rushdie.

I can’t remember if Cat Stevens ever backtracked on what he said.

I want no part of an “Islamic Peace.”
Cat Stevens can run his peace train off a cliff for all I care.
