Jennifer Proxenos May 21, 2024 at 9:42 AM Strangely Hubby and I were speaking about Cat Steven/Yusaf Islam, now Islam Cat Stevens, he is back with and is releasing new music. As for Rushdie, he is a very scared man, no longer a protestor and pushy like he was 30 years ago, but afraid that Palestine will be run by Hamas. Blessings, Jennifer.

I saw on the news how the head person(of Iran) and their prime minister were killed in a helicopter crash yesterday or day before.
