cat stevens the terrorist

[Ian Scuffling]

It hurts the causes that I support when liberals make the same mistakes as
conservatives and conflate issues and events.  Understanding the insane
emotional pain that drove 9/11 has nothing to do with harm that Cat Stevens
Islam has done to a great novelist, this country, the arts worldwide, and
humanity in general.  Now I'm gonna go out on a limb here, but if the USA
won't allow Karlheinz Stockhausen into the country, I'll be ranting against
that.

Sorry.  This was what I was thinking about.  I retract my last comment about
his 9/11 statements.
