Cat Stevens
born Stephen Georgiou
changed his name to Yusuf Islam after converting to Islam
I guess the government doesn't think Yusuf Islam is actually riding the "Peace Train".

He's been on the security watch list because of ties if I remember correctly to Hamas...I'll see if I can dig up some links..but he's not welcome in Israel..they say they have evidence of him taking money and funnelling it into terrorist organizations.Originally posted by Wilber

He was the English version of Bob Dylan, his lyrics were of that standard.
As an individual he was pretty fucked up and came close to dying through drugs.
He converted to Islam and has been very active in the religion. He campaigned for children?s playgrounds.
Whether he ever supported or gave money to Hamas is speculation, no evidence has been presented to prove it. Israel and US paranoia?Comment

the news:
CAT STEVENS DENIED ENTRY
A transatlantic flight was diverted and the singer Cat Stevens escorted off the plane by FBI agents who denied him entry to the US, it has emerged.
Security sources said the pop star, who converted to Islam, was on a security "watch list".
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said the singer was denied access to the US "on national security grounds" and would be returned to Britain on Wednesday.
Flight 919 from London to Washington diverted 600 miles to Bangor International Airport on Tuesday, landing at around 7.30pm British time, after US security officials were told Stevens was aboard.Comment

What time did they get him?
Because perhaps they decided to Catch Bull At Four...
And if it was around that time, perhaps it was time for Tea for the Tillerman (terrorman?)

cat stevens is a cool guy and I listened to his music growing up - I can understand why some here havent heard of him (he doesnt rap) - but is a classic singer songwriter during my teen years.

Hell if you vote for Bush again this year, it will be illegal to be a liberal in this country by 2005, and punishable by life in prison, and no possibility of parol....
oh yeah did I mention the new courts designed just for liberals, they have a trap door under the floor for the judge to drop the lawyers through too. ( they figure you wont need them, so they feed them to the gators)Got any domains to sell?

But this is the stuff that irks me. "Oooh he was a great singer/songwriter when I was a kid. He is a cool guy. I have always loved him. He is sooo talented."
Well, guess what? When I was a kid Michael Jackson was the best singer/songwriter. What the fuck does that have to do with anything TODAY? And how do you know he is a cool guy?
BTW, I kinda like Cat's music, so that has nothing to do with it.Comment

firstly, I don't know why but it always shocks me when people don't know names like his. He has a beautiful voice and has done some fantastic songs that everyone should know. I'm 27 so it is hardly like I am old enough to actually remember, it is just being culturaly aware.
Secondly, as liberal as I am it doesn't bother me that he was denied entry. His views are very well known and his activies are uncertain enough.Comment
