Music : Haj Youness, persona non grata in US :: moroccoTimes.com

The Kennedy Center concert by Moroccan lutist Haj Youness has been cancelled because, for reasons that are not completely clear, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has denied him entry to the United States. The Morocco Times comments:

It seems that the US sees everybody as terrorists! The famous Moroccan lutist, Haj Youness, was refused a visa to the US, mainly because of his name, reported the Moroccan daily L'Economiste.
