Yusuf Islam Ignores Bare-Headed Women (Cat Stevens)

Muslim singer Yusuf Islam reportedly refused to speak with the female guides at a German event over the weekend (24-25Mar07) because they weren't veiled - despite accepting an honour for building bridges between Eastern and Western cultures.

The star, formerly known as Cat Stevens, received a special prize at the Echo Awards on Sunday night (25Mar07) in Berlin for his musical, social and political work and was praised as a bridge-builder between the West and the Islamic world.

However, when the Father And Son singer, 58, rehearsed his appearance the day before the prize giving (24Mar07), he acted rather narrow minded, according to German publication B.Z.

When the hostesses approached Islam, who arrived with his management and his veiled wife Faezia, telling him that they were his guides, he simply ignored them and didn't even take a look at the women.

Islam's manager explains, "Mr Islam doesn't speak with women except his wife. Least of all if they don't wear a headscarf. Things like that only happen via an intermediary."

Guess he wasn't looking for a hard headed woman.

Another Saturday night and he ain't got no jihad.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Perhaps he just lost his mouth,
All his teeth, north and south...


(Or maybe the cat's got his tongue, i dunno)

[CT-Freeper]

So did he not speak to these women because they were not veiled, or did he not speak to them because the only woman he speaks to is his wife?

[Maceman]

Yusuf Islam.

Joe Muslim? Sounds like one of the guys who hang out at the Bada Bing.

[Larry Lucido]

Just trying to remember the days of the old madrassah yard.

[Redbob]

I used to like his music, long ago;

mental illness is such a sad thing...

[stuartcr]

Why is this a concern??

[raccoonradio]

("Moonshadow")

Cause I'm being followed by a big Muslim
Big Muslim, Big Muslim
He wants to have a jihad, he's a big Muslim
Big Muslim, Big Muslim

Did he take long to find me?
Does he have a bomb?
Is it like Salman Rushdie?
Did I insult Islam, oh...

Religion-Of-"Peace-Train" ping

he simply ignored them and didn't even take a look at the women.

What happened to the Peace Train?

[P-40]

Mr Islam doesn't speak with women except his wife.

She sure keeps him on a short leash.

Why is this a concern??

It's not, really. LibWhacker posted it just to piss you off.

Sheesh.

However, true to his faith, his eyes light up with joy at the sight of bare headed small boys and bare headed goats.

"You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Cause I never want to see you unveiled, girl..."

[Leg Olam]

Funny what a near drowning can do to a person.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Ah the tolerance and openness of the left!

[ArrogantBustard]

gollum .... gollum ...

[andy58-in-nh]

LMAO!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

"Funny what a near drowning can do to a person."
Hmmmmm! Like destroy a lot of brain cells?

[popdonnelly]

This man should be shunned. What was the award for? Being a muslim misogynist? How multicultural.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Why must we go on hating,
why can't we live in bliss

[raccoonradio]

I spotted his new album at a WalMart. Note that his "last name" isn't on there. Ashamed of "Islam" are we?

He must be a moderate Muslim, otherwise, he would have beaten them.

[Lijahsbubbe]

he simply ignored them and didn't even take a look at the women.

Ooh baby, baby it's a wild world, and it's hard to get by, just upon a smile....

[Lijahsbubbe]

No, beating them is moderate.... ;)

[mbynack]

What if the situation was reversed and the women refused to speak to any muslim men. Do you think that would have caused a stir?

[jackibutterfly]

"So did he not speak to these women because they were not veiled, or did he not speak to them because the only woman he speaks to is his wife?"

Either way, he's EXTREMELY rude and ungracious AND anti-social. So much for winning an honor for being "social". Jerk!

[Joe 6-pack]

"He must be a moderate Muslim, otherwise, he would have beaten them."

Only if he was in a group that outnumbered them...

[dmz]

I bet he'd have looked if they were bare-chested.
