A Tale of Two Lawsuits
Jay at
Stop the ACLU sends word of two separate, and disgraceful, lawsuits.
First, ACLU lawyers are suing the government for barring Tariq Ramadan, a "scholar" from Switzerland, from entering the US. It might have something to do with Ramadan's ties to Islamist groups...and the fact that he was banned from entering France on suspicion of ties to Algerian terrorists. Read about this one here.
That's right. Not only does the ACLU not want the government intercepting terrorist communications to agents within the United States, now they want us to let the terrorists' recruiters in, too. ROTC should hire the ACLU.
For your further edification, Jay reports that psycopathic mass-murderer Saddam Hussein's lawyers are helping him file suit against the United States for "destroying Iraq". Read about this pathetic travesty here.
And don't you dare question their patriotism!

Funny how you put "scholar" in scare quotes to suggest Professor Ramadan is not a legitimate scholar. He just so happens to be teaching at Oxford right now, perhaps the most prestigious univeristy in the world. They don't exactly hand those jobs out to anyone.

"Scholar" is, by definition, a peaceful occupation. And Oxford isn't above "handing out those jobs" on the basis of political correctness.

Furthermore, why should "ties to Islamist groups" be grounds for exclusion from the U.S.? What if one had ties to Christian groups or Jewish groups? Would that be improper too?
I suspect the author meant to say "Islamist extremist groups" but I've seen no evidence of a connection between these groups and Ramadan. In fact, Ramadan has been a consistent critic of Islamic terrorism.
Think logically for a second - would Notre Dame (not exactly a leftist school) really want to employ Ramadan is he has ties to terrorist groups?
I'm sure you all will continue to oppose this lawsuit simply because it was filed by the ACLU and you've been indoctrinated to believe that the ACLU is somehow harmful. But the facts suggest otherwise.

There's a difference between "Islamist" and "Islamic".

Fair enough, I stand corrected on that point.
Nonetheless, I haven't seen anything to suggest that Ramadan has connections with these groups, and I've seen a lot to suggest he actually opposes them.
This is government oppression, plain and simple. Ramadan is a critic of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, and the administration doesn't want opposing views expressed in this country. This is nothing new...our government exluded countless numbers of people under similar provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act in the past, purely for ideological reasons. So, the ACLU has filed suit to protect the rights of Notre Dame and others who want to hear what Ramadan has to say. And consevatives have the gall to label the suit "disgraceful."
