It would have been very difficult for him to give an interview to a Catholic and remain respectable and not offend the interviewer. I suspect that the interviewer would have been trying to box him into a corner and than use the argument that the reason he converted was because he was not a Catholic.

I think that's the point Lily and others were making too.

Interesting though, that he was invited on a Catholic TV show to talk about his conversion to Islam. I wonder if it was simply meant to give him an opportunity to tell his story, or was it for the purpose of a debate?

Can you imagine an apostate of Islam being invited onto an Islamic TV show to tell his/her story of how s/he left Islam?

I suspect the TV show had a somewhat hidden agenda. Many Catholic Priests and seminarians have reverted to Islam. I suspect they wanted to take the attention off Catholics who revert and shift the attention to it being Non-Catholic ministers who revert. I feel the emphasis was to show that Yusuf Islam was not a Catholic before he reverted.

It would be interesting to watch the whole interview, as it was presented on the Catholic TV channel.

Your choice of wording and the underlying venom always make me laugh, Lilly. You have such an energy about you! :)

Lily, I would like to apologise for writing that because it isn't true.

It is true that I genuinely admire your creative vocabulary and that it often makes me laugh; but I find your anger often upsetting and your comments sometimes very personal and hurtful.

If I have ever said anything which has angered you or offended you, I would like to apologise. It is never my intention to deliberately hurt others.
I pray that we there will be peace between us.

Salaam
