The Cat Stevens deportation may or may not have been the result of a typo; but there is no question that he does support at least one terror organization.
The Canadian National Post is reporting today that it has obtained a video of Mr. Islam speaking as guest of honor at a 1998 Toronto fundraising dinner hosted by the Jerusalem Fund, an organization that the Canadian government has identified as a local "front" for Hamas.
The video shows Cat describing Israel as a "so-called new society" created by a "so-called religion" and urges the audience to donate to the Jerusalem Fund for Human Services to "lessen the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Palestine and the Holy Land."'
In 2000, after being denied entry to Israel for allegedly donating thousands of dollars to Hamas, Cat said in a a statement, “I want to make sure that people are aware that I’ve never ever knowingly supported any terrorist groups – past, present or future.” The key word, of course, is knowingly; but it's hard to believe that he accepted an invitation to speak for the Jerusalem Fund without knowing exactly who they were.
