Watch List Passenger ID'd as Cat Stevens Tuesday, September 21, 2004
BANGOR, Maine — A passenger who was matched to a federal watch list, forcing a jetliner to be diverted, has been identified as singer-cum-Muslim convert Cat Stevens (search), according to federal officials.
The plane bound for Washington, D.C., from London landed in Bangor Tuesday, authorities said.
United Airlines (search) flight 919 had already taken off from London en route to Dulles International Airport when the match was made, according to Nico Melendez, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration.

haha! It's real!
Shortly after converting to Islam, he did make some seriously extremist comments, which he later recanted. I think they related to supporting the murder of Rushdie.

That's funny!
I stopped listening to Cat Stevens when he went all Islam!

To think the guy was once Greek Orthodox...he sure didn't learn Islam in any Greek Orthodox church I ever attended.
He chose the religion of murder...On his own.

Cat Stevens publicly supported the "fatwa" against Salmon Rushdie, saying it was appropriate that he be given a death sentence for writing the Satanic Verses.
I would watch him like a hawk.

Cat Stevens should have known better than taking a plane--should have stayed on that Peace Train. I guess he'll be in jail all night watching the Moon Shadow until Morning Has Broken!
This may be my worst post ever.

Put him in the baggage compartment.

He also would not denounce the Mohammedans in the UK who were (are) calling for the head of Salman Rushdie.

He did support the assassination of Rushdie. He is close to a lot of fanatical jihadist types, and he has a whole lot of money.
