Cat Stevens Deported

Here's more news of the crazy world we live in. Cat Stevens engaging in "activities that could be potentially linked to terrorism"? You've got to be kidding!!!

Yet that's the official reason given for him being denied entry to the US. Anyone who has listened to Cat's music or knows anything about him as a person could be excused for wondering whether this was actually April Fool's Day.

C'mon people in the US administration, get real!

Hi,

I just read your post and feel the same as you do about the allegations. However, a lot of people state that he made comments saying that the United States deserved to be attacked, which seems very incompatible with his music and his work as a peace activist. After doing research, I have failed to find these comments made by Yusuf. Have you heard of any of them?

Thanks..

Anna: No, I have not seen or heard any evidence of such statements.
