Gosh, guy, we LIVED through this...
He gave up EVERYTHING ~ his wealth, his fame, everything ~ and turned his back on all of it, guided by his own heart and beliefs.
Everyone i knew at the time had nothing but respect for him; lots of sadness that he'd never write or perform or sing again, but he had to follow HIS heart.
At the time, i didn't really know all that much about Islam ~ when i went to school in french Morocco, it was Arabic, yes, but i went to a french catholic school, so i only knew about Islam from the other children in the neighborhood, and kids don't talk religion all that much.  It was more an observation, on my part, that it truly WAS different than the US and how we were.
Well, Cat hung the Moonshadow, for sure.
