“Oh I’ve been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one / And I believe it could be, some day it’s going to come / Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train / Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again” – The Prophet Mohammed Yusuf Islam Cat Stevens Stephen Demetre Georgiou
He seems to be signaling coercion.
On the other hand, he did write “The First Cut Is the Deepest.”
Mohammed has shitty taste in wrist jewelry. He’s working the whole Kirk Douglas thing from Spartacus.
Dude, no wonder he changed it to ‘Cat Stevens’. Georgiou? Sounds like an infidel if I ever heard one!
Not a problem if you don’t sing it.
Sura 1:14. Or something.
Looks like Steven Spielberg, back when he was shooting Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Don’t forget his other hit…
Embassies broken, by using my Trio,
Car bombs have spoken, like prophet’s loons,
Praise for jihad, praise for sharia,
Praise for blood flowing, fresh from their wounds.
I wonder if “Says you look like a Jew” is just above or just below “Insults the Prophet” on the Kill Whoever Does This list.
And Slartibartfastâ€â€
Nice.
One night, back when I was into Carlos Castenada, I saw Cat Stevens’ face on a grill cheese sandwich.
“Oh baby baby it’s a wild world, it’s hard to get by just upon a smile.”
Yeah, ain’t that the truth.
Is he scratching his head or flipping us off?
Maj. John, I would imagine the finger motion there is indeed a gesture that goes by many names. In this case it would be, as his jihadi status dictates, “Allah’s Finger of Righteous Anger Against the Infidels”. Also known in the Judeo-Christian world simply as ‘The Finger’.
YMMV:link
Hey, really—isn’t he just flippin’ us off because Islam’s “Peace Train” isn’t as big as the Judeo-Christian “Imagine”.
While I don’t necessarily agree with either . . . .
Get a haircut! God damn hippies.
That you even THOUGHT of placing the Prophet in a cartoon is heresy! I place the fatwa upon you, infidel!
Looks like he’s crossing his fingers to me.
Actually, in Britain that gesture is a very old hand sign called “Cunny thumbing” and it’s meant as an extreme gesture of disrespect. One meaning of “cunny” is rabbit, and the other meaning is exactly what you think it is. Could it just be a coinkydink?
Several of you have probably seen this already, but I thought it worthy of a mention nonetheless. If Jonathan T. Reynolds is right (and he does include the caveat that his focus is more siyasa, or political theology), then those guilty of the greatest offense in the eyes of Allah are….
those Muslims engaged in the protest, for committing the sin of shirk, undermining the “absolute unity of God.” It’s an interesting take, and worth the read if you haven’t seen it already.
“I’m bein’ followed by a cruise missile
cruise missile, cruise missile…”
‘Cause you CAN’T GET AWAY FROM THE DRONES!
SB: what
you heard me
You have to admit, he was killer good-looking.
