Well, he didn't exactly divert the plane himself, but the U.S. Transportation Security Administration ordered the flight he was on board from London to make an unscheduled landing in Bangor, Maine because his Muslim name appeared on a government "watch list." The authorities took him off the plane and planned to deport him back to England. Perhaps they were afraid he might crash his guitar into a building.
Dear God, please stop the insanity and smite all of humanity!! We are truly not worthy of living.

He made the no-fly list because Bush never really dug "Moonshadow."
Ok, so when I read this story on the 'net, I was disgusted. Does the current administration seriously perceive Cat Stevens aka Yusef Islam to be a threat to national security?!
Why aren't people more outraged by the ridiculousness of this whole episdoe?!
Somehow the US government found out that his cd sales helped fund the terrorist acts of 9/11. If that was true, why didn't they arrest him? They let him go so easy... just like Asama Bin Ladin's family members when Bush authorized them to leave the country right after 9/11. Hmm.... I wonder...
