Cat Stevens Treated Like A Terrorist By US Government
By Paul Cashmere 22 September 2004 The paranoia of the Bush administration has reached Nixon proportions with singer Cat Stevens being treated like a terrorist and denied entry into the USA. The 'Peace Train' singer, who at the height of his fame became a Muslim, was on Flight 919 to Washington from London yesterday when it was discovered that he was on a US government watch list including the 'no-fly' list. When it was discovered that Stevens was flying into the USA, the plane was diverted to Maine so that it was not in the US air high traffic areas. Passengers were delayed up to six hours because of the delay. Stevens was traveling to the USA with his daughter. He was refused entry into the USA "for reasons of national security'. In the 70s, Stevens changed his name To Yusuf Islam. He has been an outspoken opponent to the war in Iraq and last year re-recorded his 70s hit 'Peace Train' as a demonstration against the war. The singer has been a teacher in London since 1983 at a Muslim school that he founded.
