WASHINGTON (Reuters) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has lifted a U.S. ban on a planned visit by a leading European Muslim critic of the Iraq war, in a move rights groups hailed as a victory for civil liberties.
Clinton signed orders which ended the ban on Professor Tariq Ramadan of Oxford University, who was barred due to alleged terrorism ties which he denies, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said on Wednesday.

Dutch sack Muslim scholar over Iran government ties
Reuters ^
Posted on August 18, 2009 2:30:59 PM PDT by nuconvert
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Dutch city of Rotterdam and its university have fired Swiss Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan as an adviser to the city over his involvement with groups that detractors say hurt his role as an expert on integration issues.
Ramadan is a visiting professor of theology at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ second-largest city.
Rotterdam’s mayor is Ahmed Aboutaleb, a Muslim who was formerly junior minister for social affairs and who has vowed to ease tensions between the city’s native Dutch and a growing immigrant population.
Ramadan was criticized after media reported last week he was hosting a weekly television show on broadcaster Press TV, which Rotterdam says is financed by the Iran government.

The Ramadan dude represents the pseudo-scholarly convergence of the “Muslim Brotherhood” of his grandfather, and the depraved, wistful longing for an Islamo-Euro union which drives out Christianity:
Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers already, you see, the world had fallen into the hands of the Jews, so gutless a thing is Christianity! then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedenism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the Seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world. Christianity alone prevented them from doing so.

Court Reverses Ruling Dealing With Visa of Muslim Scholar
NY Times ^ | 7/17/09 | BENJAMIN WEISER
Posted on July 20, 2009 2:53:10 PM PDT by dervish
A federal appeals court in Manhattan on Friday reversed a lower-court ruling that had allowed the government to bar a prominent Muslim scholar from entering the United States on the ground that he had contributed to a charity that had connections to terrorism.
The scholar, Tariq Ramadan, 46, a Swiss academic, was to become a tenured professor at the University of Notre Dame, but the Bush administration revoked his visa in 2004 and again denied him a visa in 2006. The government cited evidence that from 1998 to 2002, he donated about $1,300 to a Swiss-based charity that the Treasury Department later categorized as a terrorist organization because it provided money to Hamas, the militant Palestinian group.
‘snip’
In its ruling on Friday, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [Sotomayer’s court] held unanimously that the government was required to confront Ramadan with the allegation against him and afford him the subsequent opportunity to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that he did not know, and reasonably should not have known, that the recipient of his contributions was a terrorist organization.
‘snip’
“The government, in barring Professor Ramadan, had first offered no explanation, and then cited a provision of the Patriot Act that allows for the exclusion of foreigners who use a position of prominence within any country to endorse or espouse terrorist activity.

“Clinton is No. 1 pick to lead Oxford”

“Clinton is No. 1 pick to lead Oxford”

BY PETER FOSTER
SNIPPET: “LONDON—Bill Clinton has emerged as the overwhelming favorite among Oxford undergraduates to succeed the late Roy Jenkins as chancellor of the university.”
According to that last link he’s connected to al Taqwa bank and to Hassan al Tourabi of Sudan.
I would print out that page, except I don’t know if it’s allowed or not.

SNIPPET: “Ramadans address was found in a register of the Al Taqwa Bank, which is part of a network of financial institutions that the U.S. State Department believes is helping to fund terrorism.”
TARIQ RAMADAN | |
Tariq Ramadan is a Swiss-born philosophy professor currently based in France. In February 2002 Salon.com called him "one of the most important intellectuals in the world," characterizing him as the Muslim Martin Luther. In 2004 Time magazine named him one of the worlds top 100 scientists and thinkers.
According to terrorism expert Jean Charles Brisard, Ramadan took part in a 2004 London conference with Yusuf al Qaradawi, who has justified suicide bombings, the killing of American soldiers in Iraq, and the 9/11 attacks.
In 2006 Ramadan appealed the DHS decision to ban him from the United States. The State Department denied his appeal, this time on the grounds that he had given money to a French pseudo-charity with ties to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. |
I went to bed too early last night, after posting the NY Times version of this story. My comment, which stands, is This makes me furious. Why do we have to let these bastards, these cretins, into our country? It is just suicide. He is not "Swiss," in any way, except for his presence there. He is a MUSLIM and the grandson of the Egyptian who founded the Muslim Brotherhood. ... TENURED professor at Notre Dame? Thank heavens that fell through. They are out of their minds, too. And the court part puzzles me. Since when do foreign nationals have some kind of a constitutional right to a US visa? Whose judgment do you trust on who should be allowed into our country? Obama and Clinton? Or the Bush administration?
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I heard this on Dr. Savage’s broadcast last night.
Is there ANY question now that the Obama Administration is a treasonous entity hellbent on the destruction of the United States?

Hi Cricket.
I don’t get my news from Fox News.
When I do quote them it’s because I need an additional source or once in awhile they actually break news.
1992 : (THE FIRST MEETING BETWEEN THE IRAQI INTELLIGENCE SERVICE AND AL QAEDA IS BROKERED BY HASSAN AL-TURABI, LEADER OF SUDAN'S AL-QAEDA-AFFILIATED NATIONAL ISLAMIC FRONT; IRAQI INTELLIGENCE SERVICE DIRECTOR FARUQ HIJAZI AND SENIOR AL QAEDA LEADER AYMAN AL ZAWAHIRI WERE IN ATTENDANCE ---See IRAQ AL QAEDA/AL QAEDA IRAQ) 4. According to a May 2003 debriefing of a senior Iraqi intelligence officer, Iraqi intelligence established a highly secretive relationship with Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and later with al Qaeda. The first meeting in 1992 between the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) and al Qaeda was brokered by [* leader of Sudan's al Qaeda affiliated National Islamic Front, Hassan] al-Turabi. Former IIS deputy director Faruq Hijazi and senior al Qaeda leader [Ayman al] Zawahiri were at the meeting--the first of several between 1992 and 1995 in Sudan------- "The U.S. government's secret memo detailing cooperation between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. ," by Stephen F. Hayes, 11/24/2003, the Weekly Standard, Volume 009, Issue 11
1994 : (IRAQ'S SADDAM HUSSEIN SENDS FARUQ HIJAZI aka FAROUK HIJAZI TO SUDAN TO MEET WITH BIN LADEN ; MEETINGS WERE BROKERED BY HASSAN AL-TOURABI---See IRAQ AL QAEDA/AL QAEDA IRAQ, SAMI AL ARIAN'S ICP) Desperate for allies after the Gulf War, Saddam sent Faruq Hijazi, his secret service director, to Sudan in 1994, where bin Laden then had his headquarters. The meetings were brokered by Hassan al-Tourabi, the Sudanese Muslim leader, who was bin Ladens protector. The Sudanese belatedly offered to show the CIA all they knew about bin Laden and his visits, to ingratiate themselves back into the international fold, but the Americans scorned the approach. - "Hijacker 'given anthrax flask by Iraqi agent'," by DANIEL MCGRORY, The London Times, SATURDAY OCTOBER 27 2001
1990S early : (SUDAN : NIF'S HASSAN AL TOURABI/TURABI FACILITATES COOPERATION BETWEEN SHIITE & SUNNI GROUPS-- see IRAN/ALQAEDA, ALQAEDA/IRAN) Links between al-Qaeda and Iran are not new and have developed over time. Ties between the two first blossomed during the early 1990s when al-Qaeda was based in Sudan. Hasan al-Turabi, the leader of Sudan's National Islamic Front, encouraged relationships between Shiite and Sunni entities as part of his attempt to establish a unified global effort against the common enemy. As a result, Iran and al-Qaeda reached an informal agreement to cooperate, with Iran providing critical explosives, intelligence, and security training to bin Laden's organization.
Iran continued to provide assistance after al-Qaeda relocated to Afghanistan in 1996. Iranian officials were often willing to help facilitate al-Qaeda members' transit through Iran on their way to Afghanistan. Iranian border guards were instructed not to stamp their passports, presumably to prevent their home governments from suspecting that they had traveled to Afghanistan.
Although the 9/11 Commission found no evidence that Iran was "aware of the planning for what later became the September 11 attacks," it concluded that "strong evidence" exists that Iran facilitated al-Qaeda travel -- including some of the September 11 hijackers -- to Afghanistan....----- "The Iran-al-Qaeda Conundrum," WASHINGTON INSTITUTE.org ^ | January 23, 2009 | By Matthew Levitt and Michael Jacobson Posted on Saturday, January 24, 2009 2:05:27 AM by Cindy
Tourabi was also brought in to give a lecture to an islamic organization in Florida that has some members tied to terrorism:
1995 : (TAMPA, FL : SAMI AL ARIAN, & SUDAN'S HASSAN TURABI) [Sami] Al-Arian's close ties to both PIJ and Hamas go back to at least 1995. Al-Arian used a group he founded, the Islamic Committee for Palestine, to plead for funds for PIJ and Hamas.
Conferences organized by ICP featured Islamic Jihad founder Abdel Aziz-Odeh, Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman (spiritual leader of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers), leading Hamas official Mohammed Sakr and high-ranking Sudanese terrorist Hassan Turabi, a close ally of Osama bin Laden. --------- Democrats' imam was character witness to terror supporter , WorldNetDaily.com, Thursday, July 29, 2004 Maybe Hillary will invite Tourabi to come to the US again, too.
