Cat Stevens Comeback–Hope The “Wild World” Is Still Vegetarian

Cat Stevens is back!
The singer who changed his name to Yusuf Islam and appeared to retire from music performance has announced a new tour after a 33 year break.
The tour will feature an acoustic set of Cat’s favorites, such as “Wild World,” as well as a preview of his new musical.
Cat became vegetarian in the 70s, but after disappearing from public life for so long, it’s not known whether he follows the diet currently.
Some of his thoughts on the transformation that occurred over 30 years ago, which included going meatless.
“I tried to find out where I really wanted to go at certain points in my life: I studied different spiritual paths; I was a vegetarian and I studied meditation. At certain points I tried to get out of the machine but I didn’t really know where I wanted to go. But when I got finally to learn a few things about Islam, to me it was a missing piece of the puzzle. A lot of people overlook it. Perhaps they’re looking at the wrong kind of picture of Islam, but they don’t see what I see, which is an amazing conversion of what I believed as a Christian, what I read in the Bible, and what I understood about Transcendental Meditation. It all came together in a religion which wasn’t really a religion as such, more a spiritual path — so that made a big impact on me.”
A Muslim Vegetarian Society was exists for those wishing to combine their interests and passion for both faith and vegetarianism.
