Mr. Islam said the decision to deny him entry on grounds of national security was 'wholly unfounded' and he wants an explanation.

It's your name, you bearded twit; you're MR. ISLAM and an adherent to the evil writings by the pervert Muhammed.

Keep your terrorist fund-raising arse out of the USA!

Now, if only you could convert the homosexual imbecile SIR Elton to your trashy religion we could keep his butt off our turf.

Wonder why he was coming here in the first place - what kind of business or pleasure was he up to.

The guy gave money to a organization which financed terrorism...period. He may want to argue that point...but we have already checked the organization...and know this. He can walk in the UK all he wants...and travel to the ends of the earth...but he will never step on US soil ever again. Pure and simple. And he ought to be asking what happeded to the money he gave the organization...he might be surprised.

Old Moonshadow is at it again.

Why does he want to come here again?

Probably for the same reason he did a few years ago when he returned to make some cash off of that crazy-evil capitalist system he loathes. He needs the money for some of his "religion of peace friends."

We should have allowed entry to behead him for financing Hamas.

The artist formerly known as Cat Stevens once openly agreed that Salman Rushdie must die. He states he is opposed to "injustice." I suppose killing ex-Muslims is justice.

Watch this....Stephen Georgiou AKA 'Cat Stevens' AKA 'Yusuf Islam' will be the new poster boy for the American left...much wailing and gnashing of teeth about the Patriot Act....another Vietnam.....he comes here only on a Peace Train.....


This thing smells like a hard-core leftist set-up. IMO Mr. Georgiou was coming here to join with the Fat One to denigrate America, Americans, and our armed forces.

I just found an article that states he is a British citizen...so he has no grounds to sue for entry to the US. I hope he tries.

"Islam, a British citizen, was held in Bangor, Maine after Flight 919 was ordered to land there Tuesday."

I'm completely depressed by this. I love his music and it's disheartening to know that someone that could write and sing songs like "Two Fine People" and "Father and Son" is the same man that makes death threats against Salmon Rushdie and funds terror organizations like Hamas.

Sigh. My music collection takes another hit.

He's just lucky we allowed him to fly back to Britain...we could have made him walk across the ocean.

libs think the world has a " right " to enter the our country

Because they think we live in a borderless world. ......ideally, at least.

'I am a man of peace and denounce all forms of terrorism and injustice.'
===================================================

... that is to say, all forms of terrorism and injustice applied against me, Yusuf Islam, and my fellow Islamofacists.

However... the Koran is very clear on this issue: Convert the Infidel to Islam, or KILL him if he refuses to convert to Islam! Hence, that is not terrorism and injustice... it's Jihad !!!

He should have been arrested and sent to Gitmo...or worse.

Agreed. This was discussed on Hannity's radio show yesterday with Homeland Security Director. When Sean asked him direct questions, all he would answer is " I cannot confirm nor deny." They have something on him, that is for sure. Hope he tries to sue, make my day!!!

"Why does he want to come here again? Probably for the same reason he did a few years ago when he returned to make some cash off of that crazy-evil capitalist system he loathes. He needs the money for some of his "religion of peace friends."

You are entirely correct. He actually got a record deal with a 'Bluegrass record company' in Tennessee (I believe that was the state they said on the radio yesterday)and was headed there.
I much prefer the Truthful Lyrics to the Roy Harper Song from 1990 which are posted for your perusal:

"The Black Cloud Of Islam" by Roy Harper---(Recorded after the Libyans blew that Airliner over Scotland. Played only w/ a 12 String Guitar! A great recording and a verrrry tough song that hardly anyone on earth has ever heard. Tell a friend.)

"The Black Cloud Of Islam"

I'm sick to the teeth of the news on the screen
of Hisbullah Scum and jihad the obscene
whose men plant the bombs and then live feeling free
to watch women and children be killed on T.V.

which satan delivers a child a death curse
in the name of a worn out collection of verse
I've not read the book so I cannot recite
but I'd bet Salman Rushdie is just about right
underneath The Black Cloud of Islam

What kind of publicity needs so much blood
that's not for some sad diablical god
selling himself as a two-bit Macbeth
as the expect in sentencing cousins to death
and what kind of god can this be anyway
that you have to prostrate to him five times a day
with hate in your heart and a gun in your hand
is force the only thing to understand
underneath The Black Cloud of Islam?

And the butchers who've got all this blood on their hands
are the ones who need god to be stood where he stands
blessing this kidnapping, murder and war
with books written hundreds of ages before
and woman in veils walking paces behind
doesn't sit easy in my mind
it speaks of oppression and no other choice
that rigid compliance with the loudest voice underneath The Black Cloud of Islam

You can put a lead bullet clean through this guitar
'cos I'm not overjoyed with the story so far
sharing a world with the nutters of god
is as good as being six feet under the sod
words that are written are all here to say
and these are the latest there are anyway
and I am the prophet so don't believe me
I'm the same as the old ones expect that I'm free
to give you a piece of my mind which is this
you're the worst of jehovas blind witlessnesses
with your feet in the door of the deepest abyss
which is underneath
which is underneath
which is underneeeeeeeeeeath The Black Cloud Of Islam

I've wanted to post these lyrics since 9/11 and finally have done it! it really is THE SONG! (Ironically enough, Roy Harper hates George W. Bush more than the Floridians hate all these hurricanes)
