Still if I'm honest, I don't know anything about who he is now other then what I have told you and his music is pretty solid so I "my bad" on this one.

Yusuf Islam didn't call for the death of Salman Rushdie at all... What he said was if anyone denounces the Qur'an it is punishable by death in Islamic law.
