I'm not saying I think Yusef/Cat is a terrorist (in fact, I think that's laughable), but that someone on the "watch list", or whatever they call it, could merrily board the plane without incident is not overly comforting.
ETA: Cite please, for the statement that YS/CS verbally supported the fatwah against Salman Rushdie. As far as I can tell, that is horse poo. (I think the guy's a kook, but sue me, I liked his songs when he was Cat Stevens. I do not own any Cat Stevens records because of his "activities" -- but I will cop to owning tapes made from a friend's pre-conversion record -- yes, vinyl -- collection.)

We diverted a 747 to Maine because of Cat Stevens. I repeat... nah, on second thought, once is enough.
