“
We believe that the civilised world is a multicultural, multi-religious world. That is the type of message we want to get across. […] I think there are many who are Muslims and non-Muslims, who are not warmongers but peace makers and want this world to be a better place.
— Cat Stevens on Islam and peace
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "We believe that the civilised world is a multicultural, multi-religious world. That is the type of message we want to get across. […] I think there are many who are Muslims and non-Muslims, who are not warmongers but peace makers and want this world to be a better place." in the context of "Cat Stevens, "Attacks 'no excuse for racist violence'" in BBC News (22 September 2001)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
