This story, frequently perpetuated on the Mudcat that Cat Stevens supported the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, is a myth and I have challenged it before.

Once again, here is Yusuf Islam's own account of that episode. He may have been a naive young Moslem at the time but he certainly never supported terrorism or the fatwa.

I might add that I am no apologist for terrorism nor even a big fan of Cat Stevens but I do like to see a fair debate.
