I stumbled across this ....

I am reading today's news and I stumbled across this:

[Cat Stevens] ... abandoned his music career in the late 1970s and changed his name after being persuaded by orthodox Muslim teachers that his lifestyle was forbidden by Islamic law. He later became a teacher and an advocate for his religion, founding a Muslim school in London in 1983.

Hmmmm, I just hope Prince doesn't go down this path ....

I'm just a child;
I'm so darn shy;
a knock at the door,
and I run to hide.

Cat Stevens joined a particular branch of Islam in his native England which called for the death of author Salman Rushdie. Cat Stevens did not deny this nor disapprove of this. And.....your post belongs on the non Prince related topics

I guess we can be thankful for small mercies that he's only a JW and not with those goons the Nation of Islam. dead
