Actually, your original question didn't ask WHETHER Yusuf Islam supports the fatwa against Salman Rushdie or not, it stated as fact that he does support it, and then proceeded with the "peace activist" debate. Stated as such, it's a loaded question and the only conclusion to be drawn is the one that you have set up or "loaded" the "question" to draw. Yusuf Islam claims that he does NOT support the fatwa. In spite of that, you have made the assumption and the assertion that he really does support it, but is secretly soft soaping his views for his non-Muslim fans to consume.
Speaking of logic, the only motive for loading a question is because only one answer is being sought, so where is the logic in asking a question when one has already made up one's mind about the answer? Seems kind of silly don't you think?

Quite logical and eloquently phrased.
My sentiments exactly.

Yusuf has said time and time again that he does not support the Fatwa on rushdie, Some people just won't give up.

>> If everyone was held to a comment they said 15 + years ago we would all be screwed! >>
I'm not the same person I was 15 years ago and I'm sure no one on this message bored is and I'm sure Yusuf is not as well ~ we all grow and learn and know when and where we put our foot in our mouths!
Yusuf is much wiser and smarter now and he is now!
I look at his “a man’s” actions not some comment Yusuf made that he has already said many times was taken
out of context so >>
Life is too short to be debating something that was said 15 years ago, let’s deal with the world today and try to make it better!
I know Yusuf is a man of peace, I know this and that is all I need to know.
He is one of the few we have left!
this message bored is not the place to argue > this site is for people who love and understand Yusuf, at least that is how I see it
