Those bastions of freedom and democracy the United States government diverted a plane 600 miles because it was carrying Cat Stevens, who is subject to a high level alert. They then proceeded to ban him from entering the country.
Story.
I think we all know that it is only because he changed his name to Yusuf Islam, and because the Israelis don't like him, as the article explains.
:mad:

And this is how the US' security forces are protecting America?
Those who claim Bush is doing a good job (or in fact, any job) keeping America safe are requested to give their opinions on this...
This is not an isolated case anyway. American university students wearing t-shirts showing a photo of Bush that reads "Not my President", the rap singer Eminem, a painter who had brush cleaning products in his house (oooohhh scary chemicals) ... they have all found themselves the target of the US security services.
What a sad state of affairs that one-time proud country is...
Needless to say as a citizen who has been forced to watch the absolute hijacking of his nation by radical rightist and religious fundamentalist extremism (whilst hypocritically waving a finger at the extremism of other religions and governments), the defence of the presiding cabal of liars and criminals within the ever growing blogsphere cuts deeper than a knife.
I fear my countrymen will have to learn firsthand the sort of suffering and deprivation Washington has perpetrated upon countless numbers outside our shores before they will wake up and realise just how false the media spun myth of our "magnanimous leadership" truly is.
Cat Stevens has funded the murder of innocent people, in the late 80’s he delivered ‘tens of thousands of dollars’ to Hamas. Hamas are a group that carry out bloodshed and slaughter, Stevens assisting them is something which is quite certainly unacceptable.
Cat Stevens also famously gave his full support to the death sentence issued by fundamentalist Muslims in Iran against Salman Rushdie.
Cat Stevens has called for the killing of somebody he disagrees with and he has funded terrorism in Israel. The Americans actions are entirely justifiable.

No more Americans.
Nah, anyone who has heard his music would understand the "terrorist" claims
Seriously, you know that criticising the US publically is a terrorist act "you are with us, or against us" and so what else did he expect?
Worth noting that there is no duty on the US to admit any of us, why should we expect otherwise...?
...says the US and Israel. No-one else, oddly enough.
And I think US and Israeli intelligence is a bit...partisan...don't you?
The US of course have the right to refuse admission to anyone that they choose to. But we have the right to condemn it.
It was the diverting the flight by 650 miles to throw him out the country that got me.
I trust the word of our allies more than that of an individual citizen who is known to have supported extreme causes. (Like calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie. Oh and if you look around you'll find that to be true and not just something stated by US/Israel.
It probably was true.
Half of fucking Bradford were out by City Hall burning him in effigy.
So it goes.
