Uncle Sam told him, in no uncertain terms, that he is not welcome in this country. Seems that by his own words and actions he shot himself in the foot, idiot!!!

The AK thread was shut down because of this topic, wonder how fast it will happen here?
Who cares about Cat Stevens, he was forgotten ages ago.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint. -

F1Nut- from what I've read, he hasn't done anything to get on the "no fly" list. Here's a CNN article- http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/09/22/stevens.reaction.profile/
And to Keith- go right ahead and play that song. I highly doubt he'll be connected to any terrorists, and there is always the fact that people change. What I'm saying is, even if you don't agree with him now, that doesn't mean you can't agree with what the song was saying in the 70's, and is saying now.
Clear?Ludicrous gibs! -
Here's another article. This one cites that they have found links to him and donating to Hamas -> http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/world/story/0,4386,274230,00.html
It also points out he was denied entry into Israel after they also pointed out donations to Hamas, but he denied it then, too. Why would he bother speaking out against terrorist acts, donating money to several charities, including the 9/11 relief funds, just to donate to a known militant group. And yes, I know that he converted to Islam.Ludicrous gibs! -
I think they didn't want him in this country for the fear that he might try and pawn that crap he used to sing to off on us as music again.

The full story......

and more......
"A spokesman for the US Department of Homeland Security, Garrison Courtney, told the AFP news agency that Mr Islam's name "was placed on watch lists because of concerns that the US has about activities that can potentially be related to terrorism".
"More recently, our intelligence community has come into the possession of additional information that further heightens our concerns towards Yusuf Islam," he added."Political Correctness'.........defined

After all that has happened and cointinues to happpen you and mayself included have to ask way in the hell would you change your name to some assinine name such as that? seem to imply that you would be a suporter if you do such a thing. It's bad enough that this country is being overridden with aliens and that our best jobs are going and have gone overseas :mad: . The second comment belongs in another forum segment but I made the comment to say be PROUD to be an american or get out.
