'''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 [[anti-Semitic|antisemitic]], since he has called Jews "corrupt" and "greedy", and has slipped anti-Israel references into his later songs. 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.
