More questions have been raised as to why the Department of Homeland Security denied entry to the singer Cat Stevens, also known as Yusuf Islam on national security grounds last week. In a column in the Los Angeles Times, the singer reveals that only two months ago he was allowed to meet in Washington with top officials from the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Intiatives. In addition, he notes that he met with New York Senator Hillary Clinton of New York one month after the World Trade Center attack. He writes “Had I changed that much? No. Actually, it’s the indiscriminate procedure of profiling that’s changed. I am a victim of an unjust and arbitrary system, hastily imposed, that serves only to belittle America’s image as a defender of the civil liberties that so many dearly struggled and died for over the centuries.”
