Hi, Meredith: Were you referring to the Q&A session he had at the Kingston Polytechnic in 1989? If I remember correctly, in response to a question regarding the Rushdie affair, Cat Stevens merely attempted to explain the Muslim's view on blasphemy based on the Qur'an and the rulings of the law within Islamic jurisprudence. I don't think it went further than that i.e that he rallied for the fatwa on Rushdie. Given the personality involved, it was the media who took to giving the matter the wrong slant which led to a lot of speculation relating to a very topical issue at that time.
