Question

his previous name was"Cat Stevense"(I hope I've spelled that right)&he was Christian before,what do you think about him?why do you think he converted to"Islam"?he was a famous pop/rock star before.have you heard about his life?

Answer 1

He is a well known Muslim philanthropist and now sings Nasheeds or Islamic religious based songs with his same pleasant voice, but might not be to the taste of pop-rock fans. He's married and is an upright citizen,an active contributing member of his community. He's moved on like many of us have to more important parts of life. Hardly a waste!
Oh yes and in his famous times I think he was into drugs/alcohol and probably sought mental health help due to those common problems that follow popstars. I wish more of us would seek that kind of help when needed and not feel they would be stigmatized for it.

Answer 2

I'll bet you didn't know that Cat Stevens spent time in a mental institution. I say that because he's made threats against Salmon Rushdie in the past. He definitely has radical islamic ideas.
