Tariq Ramadan

Tariq Ramadan whom I admire a lot on his views ranging from human rights to moderation of laws of Islam barred from getting a visa to enter the US. His view of Iraqis legitimate resistance might have made a target but why? The whole world except half America believe the occupation should be resisted including through armed struggle, even the Iraqi government representative agreed there is a legitimate resistance going on and they are supportive of that. American government is going berserk.

"Two American civil rights groups have sued the Bush administration for denying a famed Muslim scholar visa, the New York Times reported on Thursday, January 26.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on Wednesday, January 25, on behalf Tariq Ramadan and three national organizations of academics."

Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

The informer, codenamed Curveball was Rafid Ahmed Alwan who, in 1999, turned up at a refugee centre in Germany seeking political asylum. He went on to convince the Pentagon he was a brilliant chemist who had helped develop mobile biological warfare laboratories."
