He wrote his most famous works before becoming a muslim. Many years ago, after Cat's conversion, when the Ayatollah Kohmeni issued a fatwah for the assassination of S. Rushdie, a reporter asked him if he would kill Ruhdie if he had a chance. Yusuf, aka Cat, replied that he would. I submit to you then that he's not such a great role model."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end! -
Ayatollah Sistani?...however he is still aliveOriginally posted by Sava
there was one fellow in Iraq, a cleric, who was a positive Muslim leader... I saw a biography about him on the History Channel. I forget his name, however he was an opponent of Muqtada Al-Sadr. He was calling for the creation of a secular Democracy in Iraq after Hussein was removed. He believed in a strict seperation of Islam and State. Unfortunately this man was assassinated in a bombing.

Then again, given the very large amounts of money he has raised for children's charities over the past 25 years, I'm inclined to forgive him that. After all, there are a few people I'd quite like to kill myself.Originally posted by Dr Strangelove

I just looked it up anyway. I believe we were referring to Abdel Majid al-Khoei.

It doesn't. Its okay to be Muslim and Sudanese (aside from those pesky genocide accusations). He did change his name in the credits in later seasons to Alexander Siddig. I don't recall the exact reasons.
