I don't give a crap if he thinks pigs fly. He is not mixed race. That is all.

And the way you made it sound was that these were all facts. You didn't say that the moron says this stuff about himself and could be an idiot for thinking this way or a straight up liar.

In my post I said "he considers" "he claims" "he says" and "his website". With a link to his website. His website is http://catstevens.com

See again your missing the point - this actually is a concern of those who live on America's borders and those who have signed onto some of the joint security programs with the US. Now in the case of advanced passenger lists, which the UK signed on to, Mr. Stevens should have been flagged and stopped in the UK if there were any concerns raised by both the UK security system or the US security system - the fact that there was a possible failure in this system does cause concern for those participating in the joint security protocols...

As for my allegations of racial profiling - well sorry for using the term Mr. Stevens did, and my Fraternity brother, and Mr. Arar (the big security related case up here right now).

Finally... nice dig at Canada yet again... from someone who claims to have never made such comments. Interesting double standard you hold yourself to...

The title of your post was "fact about...."

Again, I don't care if he thinks pigs can fly. He is white.

Again, you can get on a plane and not be a danger to blowing anything up. That is different from what you do inside a country.

Again, I don't care that someone else used the term. YOU DID. You are responsible for this. You, as previously, have used words on race and such labels that you didn't understand and cheapened it for every victim who has experienced it. Let me put this in capital letters now: YOU DID!

And again, this is an American decision using an American policy for America. I don't care what you think you or your no-standard country thinks. That is not a dig. You don't use this standard. Again, don't make claims. We have chosen not to allow someone who has ties to terrorist countries in. Thanks for playing.

And again, the US had due cause I'm sure given that this would be high profile and would bring them attention.

And again, millions of Muslims have been able to get in and out of this country without any issues. Your religion is not a label on your passport. When his name was run through a system, it triggered something and it is an American decision that was made based on planning on a US policy to protect American citizens.

OK - so he's half-swedish, half-greek . . . he's a white Briton then. Either way.


Since when is "swedish" a race? Greek?

And I realize it was probably a 'cut-and-paste' job off the website, but you def titled the post "FACTS about Cat Stephens aka...." - slightly misleading, if you get my drift.


Either way - my point is simply that racial profiling did not occur, and it's a gross misstatement on what racial profiling actually entails to claim so.
