Cat Stevens, also known as Yusuf Islam, was banned from entering the U.S. 2004. That's the singer of "Peace Train", "Morning Has Broken", "Wild World" etc. He's also the man who endorsed the Fatwa on Salman Rushdie, said he thought Rushdie should be killed, and openly discussed the circumstances in which he himself would be willing to carry out the sentence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-wjxwpvqps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-wjxwpvqps Since Rushdie lives in US (NYC), I can understand and respect the US not wanting to allow "Yusuf" to enter the country.
