Salman Rushdie, indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death.
In Islam there is a line between let's say freedom and the line which is then transgressed into immorality and irresponsibility and I think as far as this writer is concerned, unfortunately, he has been irresponsible with his freedom of speech. Salman Rushdie or indeed any writer who abuses the prophet, or indeed any prophet, under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death. It's got to be seen as a deterrent, so that other people should not commit the same mistake again.
Islam is not just a religion. Islam is everything.
Peace Train is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions of human beings.
It seems to be the easiest thing in the world these days to make scurrilous accusations against Muslims, and in my case it directly impacts on my relief work and damages my reputation as an artist. The harm done is often difficult to repair.
Man may live and man may die searching for the question why. But if he tries to rule the sky, he must fall.
If I ever loose my eyes, I won't have to cry no more.
Music is part of God's universe.
The harm done is often difficult to repair.
My career is there for everyone to see and delve into.
There is a social need within our lives as human beings to have harmony.
I know many fine feathered friends But their friendliness depends on how you do They know many sure fired ways, To find out the one who pays And how you do
And if my mind breaks up In all so many ways I know the meaning of The words, "I love you
I'm looking for a hard-headed woman, One who will make me do my best, And if I find my hard-headed woman, I know the rest of my life will be blessed
