UPDATE: Don’t miss Aaron Worthing’s brilliant post this morning, “Charles Johnson Shreds the Last of his Credibility Discussing the Stewart Rally[1].”

**********

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Charles Johnson wrote what may have been the authoritative anti-jihad post on Cat Stevens, a.k.a. Yusuf Islam: “Are You Ready for Islamopop?[2]” (safe link).

And now?

Well, the dude live-streamed Stewart/Colbert’s lefty-lovefest, “Live Video: Rally to Restore Sanity And/or Fear[4]” (safe link).

Yep. King Charles himself now leads the Islamofascist fifth column.

RELATED: Ed Driscoll, “Video: Riding the Peace Train[6].” And at Toby Harden, “Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens), accused of backing Salman Rushdie fatwah, appears at DC ‘Rally to Restore Sanity’[7].”

And Doug Mataconis[8] adds[9]:

Some, such as Talking Points Memo, have already dismissed this criticism of Islam’s appearance at the rally as a “right wing” concern, but there does seem to be somewhat of a disconnect between a rally calling for rationality in political discourse and a singer who once endorsed the idea of murdering someone for writing a book. Inviting a man like this to a rally to “restore sanity” was a mistake, and Stewart is likely to take some well-deserved criticism for it over the coming days.
