so ok I get all of what your saying except what you're leaving out, what was the hypothesis?

Honestly, I doubt either of us will have our minds changed but I do like the guys own explanation

  "In response, Yusuf Islam said that some of his comments were "stupid and offensive jokes" made in "bad taste," while others were merely giving his interpretation of Islamic law but not advocating any action."

Honestly, that really is probably the closest I'll get to a satisfying explanation, ie., I came into this thread thinking "Yusuf" done goofed and I'm pretty sure I'm going to leave the thread with an unchanged opinion.

the steve martin bit is how to do a proper cosplay. nobody is taking steve martin out of context lol

> so ok I get all of what your saying except what you're leaving out, what was the hypothesis?

These shows by Robertson had no single scenario, each started with (say) news that people in a cafe had been taken hostage by a unknown assailant .. and built from there. First one guest representing law and order might be asked what their response would be, then they are informed that demands have been made to release convicted terrorists (say). This might build and involve a diplomat, a former singer in the public eye pressed for comment, etc.

I haven't said as I literally last watched the one in question some forty years ago.

Perhaps you can fill us all in given, as you said above, you've read the transcripts and hopefully still have a copy you can look up.

> the steve martin bit is how to do a proper cosplay

Riiigght. Okay. Sure. Bit random. Personally I largely preferred Damian Cowell over Cat Stevens and|or Steve Martin on a banjo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLAFy7o7Zvo

I don't really have a copy, I just link to the source material, which is the wikipedia page. Still, I can quote it to fill folks in:

"He must be killed. The Qur'an makes it clear – if someone defames the prophet, then he must die."

>Bit random.

I thought Steve Martin would be a nice break from all the religious fundamentalism terrorism talk.
