>I'm not sure. I know, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) cannot entered USA because of he is a muslim.
Are you sure it's just cos he's a muslim? Why him in particular? Not because of his views and statements? For example, some 10 years ago he supported the fatwah on Salman Rushdie because of his book, "The Satanic Verses" I used to be a Cat Stevens fan but after that I stopped listening to his music (and to think he's of Greek origin).
>Before 9/11 muslims was so comfortable in USA but today not unfortunately.
