*is a big fan*
I thought it was funny, and stupid that the news here ran the story as "former terrorism suspect Yusuf Islam (insert some spiel about his music career) was awared a peace prize..."

About bloody time. Although, I'd rather see him stick it to The Man and Refuse (Party Program) that prize.
Long live the highly suspect Anarcho-Pacifism of Yusuf Islam!

I've been a passenger on the peace train for thirty years now. Are we any closer to the station?

No. But then again its our fault we chose the British rail system to get there with.
