The singer formerly known as Cat Stevens, now Yousef Islam, has “criticized Pope Benedict XVI’s on Sunday for his controversial comments about Islam.”

The singer said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corp. that the pope’s words proved that he was not infallible. The pope should familiarize himself with more peaceful interpretation of the religion, such as the writings of Indian leader Mohandas Gandhi, the he added.

Gandhi was Hindu, no? Am I missing something? In any case, Yousef is missing quite a bit. The pope is only considered infallible, according to Roman Catholic teaching, when making a solemn declaration of dogma to his flock. There’s no reason to suggest that he was being infallible with his address at Regensburg — but neither does that mean he wasn’t right on the money.

Cat/Yousef has a new album coming out in November.

In other news, an Islamic preacher in Gaza named Sheikh Abu Saqer assures us that “Islam is Allah’s favorite religion.”

“We did not need the words of the pope in order to understand that this is a Crusader war against Islam and it is our holy duty to fight all those who support the pope, who follow him and who did not condemn what this small racist had to say,” commented Abu Saqer, speaking to WND from the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis.

“The day will soon come when the green flag of La Illah Illah Allah (There is no god but Allah) and Muhammad Rasul Allah (Muhammad is the Propher of Allah) will be raised upon the Vatican and all around the world and on the fortresses of those who want to destroy Islam because they know that this religion obliges them to face the truth that Islam is Allah’s favorite religion. And until they join Islam hell is their last station,” Abu Saqer said.
