We need no gods for peace - just women and men working together to share out planets resources and take care of said planet.
Lovely OP.😀

Is this an old hymn?

(22,590 posts)There are a lot of different versions of the song on YouTube, and that was the first one I found with the newer lyrics, which I like much better. (Although I do love the Simon & Garfunkel version, their voices together were magical.)
I'm not sure of the origin of the song except that I know it goes back a ways.

Salman Rushdie controversy
Main article: Cat Stevens' comments about Salman Rushdie
{snip}
Following Ayatollah Khomeini's 14 February 1989 death fatwa against author Salman Rushdie, after the publication of Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses, Yusuf Islam (previously known as Cat Stevens), made statements endorsing the killing of Rushdie. His statements generated criticism from commentators in the West.
In response, Yusuf Islam said that some of his comments were "stupid and offensive jokes" made in "bad taste," while others were merely giving his interpretation of Islamic law but not advocating any action. Islam also said that later in the same programme he promised to accept the judgment of a British court if it found Rushdie innocent of any crime, blasphemy or otherwise.
