Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens) is CYPRIOT not Greek. Being Cypriot also means he is MIDDLE EASTERN. Cyprus is geographically found in the Middle East. And he looks far more Middle Eastern than anything else…
Please edit this article to inform readers that he is indeed Cypriot, and that being Cypriot he is of Middle Eastern heiratage.
