This nice perhaps?
Cat Stevens publicly supported the Ayatollah Khomeini’s death sentence for blasphemy against Salman Rushdie in 1989 (“The Qur’an makes it clear,” said the author of “Peace Train,” that “if someone defames the Prophet, then he must die”)
Cat Stevens originally Steve Demetre Georgiou, changed name to Yusuf Islam in 1978 after becoming a Muslim. He did in fact deny supporting the fatwa against Salman Rushdie in an interview, saying he was misinterpreted.
