ACLU Sues to Let Muslim Scholar Enter U.S.
Once again, the ACLU shows us how to be safe.
From the Las Vegas Sun:
The ACLU sued the federal government Wednesday for blocking a Muslim scholar from entering the United States, arguing that the government should not use anti-terrorism laws as “instruments of censorship.”
Jaffer said the provision blocks entry into the United States by any prominent alien who has used his status to endorse or espouse terrorism or to persuade others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity.
It isn’t every day that the U.S. government revokes a visa issued to a Swiss-national scholar scheduled to teach at one of America’s premier universities. It could be as the ACLU alleges, to squash acedemic debate through ideological exclusion, or it could be for any number of other reasons.
Tariq Ramadan is Islamist royalty. His grandfather is Hasan al-Banna who founded the Muslim Brotherhood, in all probability the most powerful Islamist institution of the twentieth century, in Egypt in 1928. The Muslim Brotherhood, has been referred to by some to be the father of virtually all modern-day Islamic terror groups. Tariq is a Swiss citizen because his father, Sa‘id Ramadan, also a leading Islamist, fled from Egypt in 1954 following a crackdown on the brotherhood.
Here is a long list of possible reasons.
The ACLU thinks we should not use anti-terrorism laws as “instruments of censorship?†Are they insane? I don’t want any terror-loving Muslims to come into my country to get a tenured teaching position in our Universities. We have enough cliff-dwelling Left Wing professors of our own, we don’t need another terrorist enabler as a professor. We are still in the process of getting rid of our own Muslim professors that support Terrorist groups, we don’t have to import them!

Next thing you know, they’ll will be assisting Usama himself in obtaining a job teaching Political Science at an American university. Somehow, I get the feeling he’d be far less extreme than some of the nutjob professors I have…
