Cat Stevens, formerly, now known as Yusuf Islam, Peacenik and Hamas Supporter Denied entry Into the US

Yusuf Islam, famous peacenik also know as the folk music star Cat Stevens, was denied entry into the USA. Famous for his anti-war messages, has recently condemned the taking of hostages and the killing of innocents in the recent Beslan tradegy:

Crimes against innocent bystanders taken hostage in any circumstance have no foundation whatsoever in the life of Islam and the model example of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. The concept that Islam allows the taking of one person's life in exchange for another person's sin is absolutely warped, the Qur'an in fact put an end to the concept of sins being passed on from generation to generation, father to son, or from one soul to another. God says, '…And every soul earns not [blame] except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.'

However, Islam has also been previously denied entry into Israel due to alledged support of Islamic Militant group Hamas.

Yusuf Islam, 51, changed his name after becoming a Muslim in the late 1970s, and last visited Israel in 1988. The government claims that during that trip, he delivered tens of thousands of dollars to Hamas, a militant Islamic group.
