Hillary Clinton Signs Order Allowing 'Scholar' With Terror Ties Into US

Proving conclusively they're as politically tone deaf as they are inept, the Obama administration today paved the way for an Islamist 'scholar' with deep ties to terrorism and a thirst for the extinction of Israel to re-enter the United States.

The breathtaking arrogance of these people beyond is beyond belief. I guess they weren't paying attention last night when Scott Brown stressed the importance of the war on terror.
The State Department has cleared the way for two prominent but controversial scholars to return to the United States.

State Department spokesman Darby Holladay said Wednesday that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has signed orders enabling the scholars' entry if they obtain visas.

The professors are Tariq Ramadan of Oxford University and Adam Habib of the University of Johannesburg.

Holladay said Clinton decided to use her exemption authority for the benefit of the professors.
Ramadan, naturally, is thrilled to be able to come back and spew his anti-American, anti-Semitic bilge on college campuses.
"The decision brings to an end a dark period in American politics that saw security considerations invoked to block critical debate through a policy of exclusion and baseless allegation."

"Under the Bush administration, academics and intellectuals were frequently excluded on the false pretext of security. Today's decision reflects the Obama administration's willingness to reopen the United States to the rest of the world, and to permit critical debate."
Seems to me the Bush administration knew what they were doing.
*In the midst of a series of mid-1990s attacks in Paris perpetrated by the Algerian Islamist terrorist movement, French Interior Minister Jean Louis Debre forbade Ramadan to enter France because of his connections to that movement.

*According to Spanish judge Balatasar Garzón, Ramadan had "routine contacts" with Ahmed Brahim, an Algerian believed to be the financial chief of al Qaeda and the financier of the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya.

*In his 2001 trial, Djamel Beghal, an al Qaeda recruiter who confessed to conspiring to blow up the U.S embassy in Paris, testified that he had studied with Ramadan.

*Ramadan's 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.

*Ramadan characterized the 9/11 attacks, the October 2002 Bali nightclub attack, and the March 2004 Madrid train bombings as "interventions" rather than acts of terrorism.

*When asked by an Italian magazine whether car bombings against U.S. troops in Iraq were justifiable, Ramadan replied: "Iraq was colonized by the Americans. Resistance against the army is just."
This is who Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama want speaking in our country?

You and I express our dismay with the government and we're portrayed as an angry, raucous mob. Islamists who hate our country? Hey, Tariq, come on in!

But wait, there's more.
Vis a vis Israel, Ramadan candidly favors the complete eradication of the Jewish state. According to one French investigative agent, Ramadan's ambition is "to bring about the legal extinction of the state of Israel through a major Muslim lobbying campaign, first in Europe, then in the United States."
Ironically, Mrs. Clinton seems to ignore Ramadan's dark ages view of women. He doesn't like that uncovered meat.
In Ramadan's view, women should be forbidden to play in sports where their uncovered limbs would be seen by men. When asked whether he would condemn his own brother's statement that stoning a woman for adultery was an acceptable punishment as prescribed by Islamic law, Ramadan said only that he would ask for a moratorium on stoning.
Impeccable timing with this administration. Twelve hours after getting their doors blown off politically in Massachusetts they turn around and allow a Tariq Ramadan into the country, right after they admit the system failed prior to the attempted Christmas Day plane bombing attempt. No doubt the investigation resulting from that mess will be another whitewash similar to another terror attack that shall go unmentioned.

They'll never get it and they will pay resoundingly in November.

'Mainstream' Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan Calls for Suicide Attacks Against Israel

Reuters isn't even trying to hide the agitprop anymore.

Get a whiff of this non-bylined item.
Crying for revenge with suicide attacks, thousands of Jordanians marched in the capital of the pro-U.S. kingdom on Sunday to protest against Israel's Gaza offensive that had killed more than 100 Palestinians.

About 10,000 protesters, mainly from Jordan's mainstream Muslim Brotherhood and smaller opposition groups, took to the streets in one of the country's most vocal and largest anti-Israeli demonstrations in recent years.

"O Hamas, O Hamas, bring the suicide bombers ... Victory to Hamas and defeat to the Jews and Americans," chanted the crowds, who called on the Islamist militant group to resume suicide attacks and intensify rocket strikes against Israel.
Yup, they really sound pro-U.S. there.

And since when is the Muslim Brotherhood considered mainstream? Maybe in the caves where Osama bin Laden is hanging out, but not in the real world.

Speaking of this mainstream group, I see the lowlife grandson of the founder of the group has been invited to speak at a university in Australia.
THE Swiss Islamic activist Tariq Ramadan has been invited by Griffith University to be the keynote speaker at its conference opening in Brisbane today.

The fact that Australia is allowing Ramadan to enter the country at all will raise eyebrows in security circles elsewhere. Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood: the spiritual backers of al-Qa'ida and Hamas and whose goal is to Islamise the world.

While it is, of course, unfair to tar someone with his grandfather's views, there is ample reason to think that in the case of Tariq Ramadan the apple has not fallen far from the tree.

Ramadan has been banned from entering the US because of his alleged association with extremists. The Geneva Islamic Centre, with which he is closely associated, has been linked to terrorists of the Algerian FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) and the GIA (Armed Islamic Group). A Spanish police report claimed that Ahmed Brahim, an al-Qa'ida leader jailed in Spain, was "in frequent contact" with Ramadan, a claim he has denied.
So Reuters considers a groups that are"the spiritual backers of al-Qa'ida and Hamas" to be mainstream?
