Why is it RETARDED (IN CAPITAL LETTERS, NO LESS) to deny entry to a well-known figure who publically on-record advocated the fatwa death penalty against book author Salman Rushdie for writing something that does not suit Islam's fancy?
Good call, America! :rock:

First of all, what Stevens has been critisized for saying, was said all the way back in early 1989. Now, what somebody says 20 years ago, is no reason to deny him acess to the country now.
ALSO, Stevens, or Yusuf Islam as he is known now, on his website, states :
I never called for the death of Salman Rushdie; nor backed the Fatwa issued by the Ayatollah Khomeini - and still don’t. The book itself destroyed the harmony between peoples and created an unnecessary international crisis.

There, right from the horses mouth. He doesn't support the fatwa.
