[Romantic Old Bird]

What do you all think about what happened to Cat (sorry, I'll always think of him as that) when the US deported him the other day?

Apparently they feel he 'may have donated money to charities which support terrorist organisations'. (Even if that were true, which I doubt sincerely, we would have to deport half the wealthy Irish Americans who visit our shores for similar reasons!)

However Cat went to the White House in May at their invitation to discuss peace and humanitarian issues.

Personally, I think it is a completely ridiculous move by the gung ho yanks, who seem to want to engender a global paranoia about all Muslims in the world.

Islam (the faith, not the singer) is not the problem here, but the increasing alienation of young and impressionable Muslims by the americans is certainly not going to help.

Personally I would like to say to Cat that his peace train is still rolling as far as I'm concerned.
