Description

Chris Mann interviews former pop star Cat Stevens, now Muslim convert Yusuf Islam, on Islam and leaving the world of pop music. He storms out of the interview when pressed on whether Salman Rushdie should be killed. The singer refuses to reveal his views on the author’s fatwa. (At the end he says: I once wrote a song called I’m Gonna to Get Me a Gun and now you know who that gun is for - it’s for people like you).
