2. This is a peace train
Everybody get on board!

Small Kindness is a U.K. registered charity (No 1079579) associated with the UN/DPI. Founded by Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) in 1999, it works to alleviate the suffering of families and children in the Balkans as well as the Middle East, promoting community development and prosperity by providing relief and educational programs to needy peoples ravaged and made homeless by war and conflict.

Following initial deliveries of emergency aid and materials to areas such as Kosova, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Albania, and more recently Iraq, Small Kindness has successfully established a system of long-term support and development by providing regular payments to orphans and widows and founding educational institutions for the training of local youth, enabling young ladies in particular learn skills and gain qualifications that will provide them with career prospects and a brighter future.

3. Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) is an Islamic Fundamentalist
that believes the world should be converted to Islam and everyone should live under Sharia law. He also called for the murder of Salman Rushdie because he wrote a novel. Don't be fooled by the gentle lyrics of his older hits like "Peace Train"; the guy that wrote that song doesn't exist any longer. He has become a religious fanatic.
