Yusef Islam, the Islamist recording artist 'formerly known' as Cat Stevens, is being litigated against by his own recording company for producing 'unrepresentative material' as per the terms of his contract with Poydor Records, according to an insider source.
Stevens, born Yusef Islam in 1947, famously changed his name by Deed Poll in 1970 to Cat Stevens in order to dodge the draft movement in his native homeland of Canada which otherwise would have meant his serving a tour of duty in Vietnam. Moving to the UK in in 1971 to assume a new identity under the new RIP (Refugee Inclusion Programme) Mandate, changes in legislation forced him to change his name once again in 1972 to Imam Dog Tannien, loopholes against him in aforementioned legislation eventually forcing another name name change causing
him to revert back to his original name of Yusef Islam in 1983.
The latest controversy embroiling the self styled Mullah of Marlybone concerns his latest contractual offering to the altar of Polydor Records, carefully (sic) entitled Death To The Enemies Of His Mercifulness Almighty Allah And Death To the Western Satanist Scum'.
Islam's latest release is a reworking of his 1968 classic 'If You Want To Sing Out Sing Out', popularised in the 1969 switch-pederast cult classic Harold And Maude (which sees an octogenarian Ruth Gordon getting it on with a fourteen year old boy), but with a lyrical twist; the reworking includes lyrics along the lines of 'If you want to behead, behead', and the quirky, up-tempo pop refrain including a funk harpsichord and a wacky-wacky fuck guitar, 'Death ToThe Enemies Of Islam'. What Islam never makes clear in the wider conext of the work is whether it is he, Islam, that is on trial, or Islam, the Faith, that is on trial iself.
Decide for yourself.
'FuckThe West', the new album by Yusef Stevens, on Polydor Records, is out on Tuesday.
