The Former Cat Stevens to Croon at Nobel Moonbatfest

The Nobel Commission has found the perfect musician to perform at this year's Nobel Peace Prize Concert: Yusuf Islam.
You may remember him as Cat Stevens, performer of hippie-era tunes like "Peace Train" and "Moon Shadow." He dropped out of the music industry after converting to Islam in the 1970s. Since then he has been barred from entering the USA because of his close ties with Islamic extremists, and from Israel for giving tens of thousands of dollars to Hamas terrorists.
Yusuf Islam publicly supported the death sentence that was declared against Salman Rushdie for writing a novel that Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini didn't like. His website boasts of his collaboration with Hamza Yusuf, who had this to say at a convention of the Islamic Circle of North America held at historic Valley Forge in 1996:
I am a citizen of this country not by choice but by birth. I reside in this country not by choice but by conviction in attempting to spread the message of Islam in this country. I became Muslim in part because I did not believe in the false gods of this society whether we call them Jesus or democracy or the Bill of Rights or any other element of this society that is held sacrosanct by the ill-informed peoples that make up this charade of a society.
The "peace activist" formerly known as Cat Stevens is living proof that you can be a moonbat and a Muslim at the same time. Naturally the Nobel folks love the guy. In 2003 a committee of Nobel Peace Prize laureates awarded him the Man of Peace award.
