Obama Administration Lifts US Ban on Muslim Brotherhood Leader
IsraelNationalNews ^ | January 28 2011 | Avi Yellin

Posted on 01/28/2011 5:59:11 PM PST by txgirl4Bush

The Barack Obama administration has decided to lift a ban preventing Muslim Scholar Professor Tariq Ramadan from entering the United States. Ramadan, an Egyptian currently living in Switzerland, is a leading member of Europe’s Muslim Brotherhood branch and the grandson of the movement’s founder Hassan al-Banna. The Muslim Brotherhood is the parent organization for Hamas and some of the groups that recently merged into al-Qaeda, including Ayman al Zawahiri’s Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Ramadan was invited to teach at the University of Notre Dame in 2004 but the George W. Bush administration revoked his visa, citing a statute that applies to those who have “endorsed or espoused” terrorism. The administration later dropped the terror endorsement claim and linked the ban to $1,336 in donations Ramadan made between 1998 and 2002 to a Swiss charity that was later blacklisted by the US. Although the White House asked the court last March to uphold the Bush-era entry ban on Ramadan, the administration has now decided to lift the ban and possibly allow both Ramadan and South African Muslim activist Professor Adam Habib onto American soil. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters that the government no longer views Ramadan or Habib as representing threats to the United States. “The next time Professor Ramadan or Professor Habib apply for a visa, they will not be found inadmissible on the basis of the facts that led to denial when they last applied.”

The US Embassy is on alert, and the only response from Obama (and Hiliary (sic) for that matter) so far is to castigate his friend Mubarak. There is little if any trust of the US in the Middle East, or confidence in a cogent and consistent foreign policy.

New motto for this White House/State Dept: If you’re against US, you’re with us.

How did this country get to this point? A generation ago, many of the top officials of this regime would have been banned from holding any federal job or office whatsoever, brought before Congress, possibly tried for treason. Now they run the place. What did Pogo say? I have met the enemy and his is us?

Obama is evil.

Obama’s primary interest is with the Far Left and the Muslims.

Christians and Jews have no reason to exist as far as Obama is concerned.

The Far Left has been aligned with Radical Muslims for decades.

What is happening now is just highlighting how evil the Far Left can be.

Unbelievable, yet believable from this administration.

The comments following this article are very telling.

Michael Savage says our government has as much control over us as they have in Iran because our leaders know we won’t organize against them.

We have an obvious America hater in charge of our country!

Damn right we should get outside the news stations I am so pissed off with their lies, and bias .

They truly are disgusting and it is about time that if the GOP which has no balls for the most part cannot call them out then fine let us do it.

They have lied, deceived , been corrupt, bias getting him elected and now they COVER FOR HIM ignoring to what he is doing.

Imagine how Sarah Palin feels and how she was portrayed off these biased corrupt savages.

You know what there is no words which I can describe our media.

It’s sickening how they have been lying for him.

If you from what you call yourselves media are trolling then you’re a frigging disgrace and no words can describe how many of us feel about your bias and lies.
You protect your messiah and never ever go and tell the truth, yes you laugh and think you will always get away with this and maybe you will but rest assured many of us are getting the truth out.
Is it enough I do not know but if we do our part and getting facts out about this corrupt media then we might have a chance of getting our country back
