Here comes the public relations push for Cat Stevens (aka Yusuf Islam, aka Yusuf): Cat Stevens releases first album since embracing Islam in 1970s.

“Embracing Islam?” Here’s an audio recording of Omar Bakri Mohammad, one of Britain’s most radical Islamists before he was forced to flee the UK ahead of a prosecution for inciting violence, talking about his great friendship with Cat Stevens—and about Cat Stevens’ support for the “Blind Sheik” Omar Abdel-Rahman, currently serving a life sentence for plotting terror attacks in the US: Audio: Cat Stevens Linked to Radical Islamists, Convicted Terrorists.

And that’s far from the only incriminating piece of evidence about Cat Stevens. He has also been barred from Israel after donating money to Hamas, and supported the Islamic sentence of death for author Salman Rushdie.

Is that what they mean by “embracing Islam?”

UPDATE at 11/13/06 1:44:11 pm:

At Militant Islam Monitor, much more about Yusuf Islam & The Muslim Council of Britain’s terrorism ties.
