And Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) was deported to his home in the U.K.

http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,14980,00.html

Next time, better just take the Peace Train.

A Washington, D.C.-bound United Airlines flight carrying Yusuf Islam, the London-based artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, landed prematurely in Maine Tuesday after his name popped up on a U.S. terrorist watch list.


The "Morning Has Broken" singer was denied admission to the United States on national security grounds, according to a spokesperson for the Homeland Security Department. The singer-songwriter was heading to Dulles International Airport when his plane made an unplanned stop in Bangor, Maine around 3 p.m.

Islam was met by federal agents and detained for interrogation while the rest of the passengers were allowed to continue to D.C.

According to government officials, Islam, 56, was red-flagged by a computer system that analyzes passenger data before international flights enter U.S airspace. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection's National Targeting Center matched Islam's name on the passenger list for the D.C-bound United jet, then relayed the information regarding a possible terrorist match to the Transportation Security Administration. The TSA, in turn, requested that the plane land at Bangor International.

The Washington Post reported that Islam is identified as "Usef Islam" on several government watch lists, including the no-fly list. According to some print and broadcast reports, Islam's name is on the lists because he allegedly contributed funds to groups supporting terrorism.

However, he was allowed to visit New York as recently as May for a charity event without incident. No immediate comment from the feds on why he was permitted to fly then and not now.

The Homeland Security Department says Islam would be put on the first available flight out of the country Wednesday after spending the night in custody.

Ooh, baby, it's a wild world, indeed.

Stevens, famous for his easygoing demeanor and 1960s and '70s folk songs like "Moonshadow" and "Peace Train," converted to Islam in the late 1970s.

He abandoned his music career in 1977 and released his final record, Back to Earth in 1978. In accordance with life as a Muslim, Islam famously auctioned off his possessions gained from a lucrative career (Islam penned several well-known tunes in addition to his own hits, including Rod Stewart's "The First Cut Is the Deepest") and founded a Muslim school near London.

"I came to Islam in my late 20s, during my searching period as a wandering pop star," he wrote in a 2001 article for London's Guardian newspaper. "I found a religion that blended scientific reason with spiritual reality."

He was widely criticized for supporting Ayatollah Khomeini's death sentence against Salman Rushdie for writing The Satanic Verses, but he later backtracked.

Last year, he rerecorded "Peace Train" for a star-studded fundraising CD benefiting children suffering from the war in Iraq. Shortly afterward, he told BBC News, "As a member of humanity and as a Muslim, this is my contribution to the call for a peaceful solution to the dangerous path some world leaders today seem to be taking."

Islam recently condemned the school seizure by Chechen rebels in Russia, and has consistently been an advocate for peace since the Sept. 11, 2001. "No right thinking follower of Islam could possibly condone such an action," he said in a statement following the attacks. "The Koran equates the murder of one innocent person with the murder of the whole of humanity."

A statement on the YusufIlsam.com Website says, "We all know that Yusuf does support many charitable organizations...Howe ver, he does not support terrorism. He has consistently denounced the acts of terrorists as being directly contradictory to the peaceful teachings of Islam...[and he] has donated thousands of dollars to the 9/11 Fund in addition to his many other projects. Any suggestion that he has donated any funds to terrorist organizations is untrue.

"It is our hope that this situation will be quickly resolved and Yusuf's name removed from the FBI's list."
