it's because his name has been "linked to a few terrorist organizations" but i didn't really find out which, or they weren't printing them in the paper. "trouble" is seriously my favorite song in the world, and now i'm going to watch harold and maude in honor of the former cat stevens/yusef islam.
He is British, not US. He wasn't deported but rather denied entry. The reason was because he openly called for the death of Solomon Rushdie after "The Satanic Verses" was published. He may have been a man of peace in the past, but when you go on the radio and advocate the assassination of an author because you don't like the book that he wrote, then that makes you an "undesirable person". For the record, that label was given to him long before Mr Bush became president.
