What you are referring to is the controversy in 1989, when Steven's was addressing students at London's Kingston University. He was asked about the the fatwa calling for the death of Salman Rushdie. In the media his answer was interpreted as support for the fatwa. The next day he released a statement which said that he had not been supporting vigilantism, and had been explaining the legal Islamic punishment for blasphemy. In a BBC interview he displayed a newspaper clipping from that time period, which quotes his statement. Later statements he made again seemed to be in support of the fatwa. On this website he says he was joking and the show was improperly edited. Since all of the controversy he has strongly denied ever calling for the death of Salman Rushdie or supporting the fatwa.

Is Cat Stevens third in line to be Ayatollah?
No. Cat Stevens is in no way affiliated with any of the Shiite Islamic Clergy where he could become an Ayatollah. There are numerous Ayatollahs and many sheikhs, muftis, and faqihs just waiting for the possibility of promotion to the ranks of the Ayatollahs. They are the ones who will accede to that rank, not Cat Stevens.
