But this says otherwise -- did he get into islam by meeting up with this group in Pakistan? I don't know:
"Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) of Pakistan, headed by Lt. Gen. (retd) Javed Nasir, former Director-General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, and the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) have supported Islamist extremist movements in different countries, including amongst members of the Muslim community in the US.... Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, a famous pop singer, who embraced Islam after coming into contact with the TJ in Pakistan; Dr. Saghir of Algeria; and Dr. Israr Ahmed, the Amir of the Tanzeem Islami of Pakistan and a worker of the TJ.
