"Cat Stevens - Islamic Terrorist" is pretty sensationalist, sarcastically so I understand. Taken in context, if the guy supported a fatwa to kill (really, to KILL?) an author of a book in publication all over the world, well all I can say is I understand that freedom of speech isn't practiced all over the world, and I can understand a lot of Muslims getting pissed off at Rushdie. (thanks for the link, rb) Seems a bit harsh to deny him entry into the US but who knows what the intelligence community knows about the guy? It's a sign of the times; this kind of stuff is probably going to happen to a lot of innocent (and some not-so-innocent) people for a while as the US is understandably on Hyper-Alert these days.
