Other than the fact that he is Muslim, why was he arrested?


Read the reports, Dianavan, he wasn't arrested. He was refused entry into the country and put on an airplane home.

Still asking why, are you?

Maybe it was his support for Ayatollah Khomeni's death sentence on Salman Rusdie.

Or maybe it was those benefit concerts that he played for terrorist organizations. That sort of thing has been frowned upon in these parts since September 11, 2001. (even if he did say that 9/11 was a mistake)
