A Primer on Islamic Relations
As you may know, the Pope recently visited Turkey and spent a little time at a mosque.
Well, here is another little fact you should know about Muslims in the modern world -- Did you know that the religion's most famous recording artist, Yusef Islam:
was actually born Steven Demetre Georgiou and before his conversion was best known as Cat Stevens!
In case you are unfamiliar with the music of Cat Stevens, I have prepared a little video presentation to help orient you. Enjoy.

(In case there is any confusion, that top picture is from the pope's visit to Turkey but has nothing to do with the Muslims or the mosque. Once I start learning grammar I may understand how to disconnect those two thoughts for clarity; until then, you will have to just interpret what I mean)
