In the early days I had a very black-and-white view of everything. I think thats kind of natural for anyone whos just embraced Islam – or any religion – as a convert.

Peace Train is a song I wrote, the message of which continues to breeze thunderously through the hearts of millions. There is a powerful need for people to feel that gust of hope rise up again. – Cat Stevens
