Cat Stevens

Yusuf Islam, better known as Cat Stevens (born Steven Georgiou in London, 1948), is a British folk rock singer, who was most popular in the 1970s.

In the late 1970s, Stevens converted to Islam (specifically the radical Wahhabi sect, which led to Al-Qaeda's creation), and stopped performing music until recently, because Wahhabi Islam prohibits music. Stevens is known to have been antisemitic, since he has called Jews "corrupt" and "greedy", and has slipped anti-Israel references into his later songs.^{[Citation Needed]} He is even known to have donated money to some Islamic terrorist groups. For those reasons, he is banned from Israel.

In 2002, Islam was placed on a no-fly list which prohibits the people listed from traveling by air into the United States. The reason was probably his donations to Islamic terror groups and his anti-Israel stance.
