Quote, mis-quote

Charles 'Pulitzer's in the post' Johnson is at it again. He claims,

Cat Stevens: London Bombings Are the Result of Foreign Policy
Cat Stevens actually said,

Yusuf Islam, who had a string of pop hits in the 1960s and ‘70s, said an al-Qaida video claiming responsibility for the attacks and linking them to Britain’s role in the Middle East showed foreign policy “was not the only factor but it was a major contributory.”
See the difference? Only an idiot would claim that British foreign policy would lead solely to the bombings in much the same way as a similar idiot would claim that British foreign policy played no factor in the bombings.
