Cat Stevens & Marillion

Hi Emidar.. honey

Mr. Islam being pulled off the plane doesn't really have anything to do with the war in Iraq or Mr. Bush's or Mr. Blair's methods... it has to do with homeland security... and that I'm behind.  I'm not sure about what good the war in Iraq has done or not done... I'm sure that will always be a center of debate for years to come.. and both sides will claim some sort of victory... Thats just the way that works.

I also disagree with you about their motives being born from deeply held theological beliefs.  Like every other war, they continue to use that as an excuse and it might of started that way many years ago... but that is not what it is about today.  I know many muslim clerics here in NYC.. actually I've worked with the head of the Muslim community here in NYC, Imam Al-Hajj Talib W. 'Abdur-Rashid' and we've had many discussions in regard to how non-religious these terrorist groups really are.

Its not much different than the hatred instilled in the young brought up in Northern Ireland.  Its what your bred to think, not whats really truth any longer. I spent quite a lot of time with Muslim families in Malaysia.  You should of heard what they've been led to believe about Americans.  Of course, by the time I left, they probably had a whole different idea of Americans...

I have a 16 yr old daughter from a 3 yr relationship with a woman when I was 19-22 yrs of age so I am not totally ignorant on the ways of women thank-you

Come on, folks...the heading is "Discussions not related to music", after all. Not "Discussions not related to music except anything that might arouse strong feelings". If you don't want to be over-stimulated, avoid reading topic threads that are likely to cause such a reaction. It's that simple- just change the channel if you don't like this show...'cause I'm about to rant.

I'm willing to bet that few people read my first post in this topic without thinking of 9/11...for the record, the ex-Cat Stevens has been on the sh*t list for over a decade now. No government, agency, or private residence should be criticized for denying entrance on the basis of previous violent statements.

How about this: you see someone in the street shouting incoherent violent slogans. They come to your door. You don't let them in. The rest of the neighborhood calls you names. Sound fair? Sound civilized?

How about you oh-so-fashionable anti-american folks make a reasonable point for once- maybe even cite a specific instance or fact? There's plenty in the US Government to criticize, especially in foriegn policy; instead you offer generalizations that a junior high debating tem would have little problem tearing to shreds.

For all his shortcomings we need people like Mr. Moore because traditional within-the-system opposition is about as helpful as sending a letter to your congressman. He's just the latest in the long line of muckrakers that are significantly historically responsible for improving our civil rights. Speaking of which, Phil Ochs was a folk singer- Cat Stevens was just another guy with an acoustic guitar. Now he's not even that much.

But despite the fact that most of you come from countries with escalating violence against immigrants and minorities, you find some sort of moral upper hand to attack Americans. Good trick! Why don't you bring the National Front round for tea sometime and tell me again how denying entrance to an ADMITTED FANATIC SUPPORTER OF MURDER is indicative of a failure of American judgement.

Well we know where we all stand with Cat Stevens but are Marillion a threat to world peace?

I've heard 'Holidays In Eden' and I believe that there is a case for incarceration
