Some people change their names, though they do not have to unless their name is something bad. He changed his name to Yusuf because he was most impressed with the story of Joseph, in the Qur'an. Yusuf is the Arabic for Joseph. He also changed his last name which we are actually not supposed to do.
Not too long ago he was denied re-entry into the United States because he is a Muslim and was using his other name (not sure if it was his given name, adopted Muslim name, or what). It was an outrage because he is a peaceful individual who works to promote peace. (Maybe that was their problem with him.)
No he's Cat steven's son
Because Islam is the truest religion! :]
