"He could make florid public statements condemning terrorism, demanding an end to the Islamic Jihad, and vowing death upon Osama Bin Laden!"

Would this really be so bad, Omar?

And I think MG's point was precisely that there are innumerable Yusuf Islams, and that therefore this guy is not particularly famous. If you saw him in the street, talked with him in a bar (not likely, I admit) or even accepted a personal check from him you would probably never suspect that he was Cat Stevens. So the idea that he is on a political enemies list is a little farfetched; I suspect he really is suspected of funding terrorism.

On the other hand, I have no doubt that such a political enemies list exists. I just don't think the dude who used to be Cat Stevens is on it.
