Pacifist, conscientious objector Cat Stevens -- folk singer/writer and flower child of the 60's and 70's has been barred from the USA! His plane from London to Washington DC was diverted to Maine, and he's being sent back to England on the next available flight.
Now while I realize that he converted to Islam back in '78 and is now known as Yusuf Islam, is he really a threat to Homeland Security? He has been most outspoken against the atrocities of Beslan and 911 and has made the valid point that such actions are inconsistent with the teachings of the Koran. Is there something going on here of which I'm unaware?
Peace Train -- words & music by Cat Stevens
Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be something good has begun
Oh, I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one,
And I believe it could be; some day it's going to come.
Cause out on the edge of darkness there rides a peace train
Oh peace train, take this country, come take me home again...
...Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you
And it's getting nearer; soon it will all be true
Oh peace train sounding louder, glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train.
Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating? Why can't we live in bliss?
Cause out on the edge of darkness there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again...
