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.

"Tourabi was also brought in to give a lecture to an islamic organization in Florida that has some members tied to terrorism:"
Appreicate your preferences; was suggesting such, only because many people do go Fox News. Even better; the lamestream media is always listening in, so they can criticize them. . .and so as well, they get to hear, what a great many people are learning; albeit NOT from them!
“it is neither normal nor decent to commemorate Israel when Israeli state and government policies in the devastated occupied territories are clear for all to see.
Yes, those poor Palestinians now are forced to have hot and cold running water, heat in winter, satellite TV, and irrigation in their fields and vineyards even when Allah has decreed drought. The roads are paved, and the people well fed. Many own shiny new cars. Some of the young girls even refuse to put on chadours when they come of age, and their fathers don’t even honor kill them anymore. How could those evil Jooos DO SUCH A THING?!

“Opening the Door to a Stealth Jihadist”
by Robert Spencer

SNIPPET: “The turnabout comes not because Ramadan has been cleared of these charges, but because Secretary of State Clinton has, in the words of State spokesman Darby Holladay, chosen to exercise her exemption authority for the benefit of Tariq Ramadan.”
SNIPPET: “Ironically, days after the Obama State Department announced the exemption for Ramadan, a Detroit-area Muslim named Mohamad Mustapha Ali Masfaka was arrested at the border while attempting to cross from Canada back into the United States. His crime? Lying to the FBI and immigration officials about his work with the Holy Land Foundation, formerly the largest Islamic charity in the United States, which has now been shut down for funneling charitable contributions to Hamas.
So what is the difference between Tariq Ramadan and Mohamad Mustapha Ali Masfaka? They have both allegedly been disingenuous about their ties to a Hamas charity, and yet Ramadan is free to enter the United States and Masfaka is under arrest. So what unique and compelling benefit does Tariq Ramadan bring to the U.S. that would move Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to bend their own anti-terror rules and make this exemption for him?
The answer, of course, is that Tariq Ramadan is internationally famous as a voice of Islamic moderation — and a vocal critic of the Bush Administrations Middle East policies, which the Obama Administration very much wants to subject to public criticism. Mohamad Mustapha Ali Masfaka, in contrast, toils in relative obscurity and offers the Obama Administration no such political fringe benefits.”
Like all pimped out hypocrite feminists, Clinton is ready to wear the intellectual scarf.
THEY CANNOT RESIST A CONSCIOUSNESS CONTROLER.

SNIPPET: “Five years after being barred from the U.S. for making charitable contributions to a group that sent those contributions to the jihad terror group Hamas, internationally renowned Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, often mislabeled the Muslim Martin Luther, is allowed to enter the country again. The turnabout comes not because Ramadan has been cleared of these charges, but because Secretary of State Clinton has, in the words of State spokesman Darby Holladay, chosen to exercise her exemption authority for the benefit of Tariq Ramadan.”

AUGUST 2005 : (UK : TARIQ RAMADAN ATTENDS MEETING AT THE HOME OFFICE --- see "WORKING GROUP ON TACKLING EXTREMISM" {see MP SHAHID MALIK}, ) The academic attended a meeting at the Home Office last week to discuss extremism among British Muslims...One source present at last week's meeting told the Guardian that Mr Ramadan's contribution was "progressive" and he said there was a real need for Muslims to confront extremism and accept it exists.
Another source with knowledge of the setting up of the group said: "He brings understanding of Islam that young people respect."

The website of the Islamic Center of Geneva (of which Tariq Ramadan is still an executive director) released a sermon on Iraq in August 2005 calling to support our brothers in Fallujah and Southern Iraq against this unjust occupation, in reality the terrorists are the US administration, the Sharon government and the Putin government. This statement was clearly referring to the only insurgency force stationed at the time in Fallujah, Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafidayn (Al Qaeda in Iraq), in opposition to the true terrorists.----- "Terror Finance Expert Exposes New Information about Tariq Ramadans Links to Terrorism," Ilan Weinglass, THE TERROR FINANCE BLOG, PRWeb.com All Press Releases for September 18, 2006
“Progressive”... which brings to mind of course, “social justice”.

“Once-barred Muslim scholar arrives in NY for forum
Professor Tariq Ramadan, whose visa was previously denied for donating money to charity which supports Hamas, re-enters US”
Associated Press
Published: 04.08.10, 13:20 / Israel News
SNIPPET: “Ramadan said no one can deny there are improvements in communications between the United States and the rest of the world.
“To change mentalities and policies takes time and effort,” he said. “I want to be instrumental in this.”
ACLU attorney Jameel Jaffer, who rode with Ramadan into the city, said Clinton deserves credit for clearing the way for Ramadan and Habib to re-enter the country but some scholars still remain excluded because of their viewpoints.”

IPT News

SNIPPET: “Few American Islamists receive the kind of glowing media coverage given to Dalia Mogahed, executive director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies, who is sometimes described as the “most influential person” shaping the Obama Administration’s Middle East message.
Mogahed, who claims to have played an important role in the drafting of President Obama’s historic Cairo speech to the Muslim world, was appointed to serve on the President’s Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. The council released its final recommendations last month.
When European Islamist Tariq Ramadan kicked off his U.S. tour last week at Cooper Union in New York City, Mogahed and two journalists joined him for a panel discussion. Her remarks emphasized polling data showing that Muslim Americans are more affluent and socially content than their European counterparts.”
