A Risk of Offense
To the Editor: Ann Powers says that Islam is a faith that Westerners hold in suspicion. In fact, it is most often bad journalism that creates the impression of public suspicion about Islam. Most non-Muslim Americans are quite tolerant and open-minded about the religion. She also says that Cat Stevens embraced a fundamentalist faith. It is unclear whether Ms. Powers believes that Islam is by its nature fundamentalist, or if she is asserting that Yusuf Islam practices a fundamentalist strain of it. Either claim runs the risk of offense, and in any case should bear greater reflection than Ms. Powers can seem to muster..

His reputation grew posthumously by word of mouth and critical endorsement. An audience slowly developed for his three numinous albums, which his champions in the record business kept in print despite negligible sales..
