Re: Patti appears w/ Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) on "Morning Becomes Eclectic" (live today: 11:15 am PDST)

whoa.  Mitchell didn't say, and I don't know, if YI/CS supports insane
fundamentalist actions.  does he?  please tell us you're not calling
YI/CS a pig solely for being Muslim.  I'm just asking, I haven't looked
into what YI/CS's trip is.  I personally don't have a religious
affiliation, but having one doesn't mean one is among the insane
fundamentalists.
