James Twyman, 'Peace Troubadour,' is embarking on 'the most important and dangerous peace mission' of his life-to the Israel-Syria border and beyond, wielding his classical guitar.

ISIS generally doesn't respond well to music.

But that isn't stopping James Twyman, an author and musician based in Portland, Oregon, from planning a trip to ISIS-held territory in Syria later this month to help bring peace to the region through the power of a musical-prayer concert.

Not very likely. The word hashish itself comes from the word assassin (or is it the other way round?). Either way I wouldn’t count on it.

The Lord sent us Christ to show us how to serve
Christ said I am the way
Perhaps The Lord has asked this man to be like Christ
If the Lord has asked this man to give his life


Jesus also said "do not put the Lord your God to a foolish test".

should we call this man an idiot ?


Sure. If it turns out I'm wrong, I'll be the first to apologize to him after the Lord reassembles his head to his body in the eternal afterlife.

Portland is the wackiest place in America. Even more than that town in Washington that has the state of Lenin.

“ISIS will prize cutting off this moron’s head.”

I’m thinking the same thing. This idiot must have a death wish and ISIS will be happy to hasten his exit from life.

You’re right
Who can tell if this man is doing a foolish test
or showing no greater love

Only the Lord knows
That is why the Lord tells us not to call him a fool

Of course, no drugs may be involved. Liberalism IS a mental disorder, after all.

If the muz were smart they’d not only let that creep live, but use him as a propaganda tool in full view of the media to mollify useful American idiots.

Accoring to wikipedia, he’s still giving concerts and making albums (as “Yusuf”).

Interesting was that as of 2007 he was making $1.5 million a year just from his Cat Stevens royalties.

No telling how much that’s down due to the Internet impact on music industry.

This Peacenik wants to meet ‘The Religion of Peace’ in ISIS controlled Syria? And he wants to do a concert there? I’ll say Good Luck, he’ll NEED IT!

Hey, I wish the man no harm, and if he has been truly divinely inspired by the Lord, no harm will come to him.

If not?

All bets are off.
