Grrrrr....

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Singer Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, was taken off a diverted United Air Lines flight from London to Washington after his Muslim name turned up on a "watch list" designed to keep terrorists from boarding flights, a Transportation Security Administration spokesman has said. The 56-year-old Islam took that name when he became a Muslim in the 1970s. An FBI spokeswoman told CNN the singer's name was only matched to the watch list after the plane had departed.
Islam, a British citizen, was being held in Bangor, Maine after Flight 919 was ordered to land there Tuesday afternoon. He will be deported back to London on Wednesday, according to the TSA. A government official said Islam was on the watch list because of "known associations and financial support to organizations believed to be aiding terrorism."

Give me a break! Yusuf Islam is one of the most generous charitable people in this world who certainly does not affiliate himself with terrorist organizations. I don't think there is a better poster child for peace activism than this man. The whole thought of him being flagged because of his religion is obviously a big part in this. It worries me as an Islamic friend of mine will be traveling to NY next week to be with her new husband. Will she be singled out because of this? Or wait...Is it only high profile Muslims who fit the bill just so the FBI can make a statement?
Once again, give me a break.
