I like any of us can't give the reason as to why he was denied. We don't know why visas are denied to chinese students either. That is just the way this system works.
Does the guy blow up planes? No.
Does he pose any danger flying on a plane then? No.
Would this guy incite hate through his support for terrorist groups? Yes.
Has he called for the death of another human being by Muslims? Yes. Rushdie is an example.
Could that be the reason for the reason he isn't allowed to be in the US? Possibly.
Let's mention again that this is an American decision based on American policy dealing with America. This is not the concern of Canadians.
Let's also mention again that it's sad that people throw around the word race when Cat Stephens is a white boy who fits no racial profile other than advantaged and unmonitored.
This guy supports terrorists and our country has every right to choose when to let him in and not to.
