The Obama administration announced last week that it would allow two Muslim scholars into the country – lifting a ban on Tariq Ramadan, a Swiss national and professor of contemporary Islamic studies at Oxford University, and Adam Habib of South Africa.
But the pro-Palestinian group cited by the U.S. government in denying Tariq Ramadan’s visa remains on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of organizations sanctioned for their links to terrorism.
The Paris-based Commite de Bienfaisance et de Secours aux Palestiniens (CBSP) and its Swiss-based subsidiary Association de Secours Palestinien (ASP) were added to Treasury’s list in August 2003, after the U.S. government identified them as “primary fundraisers” in France and Switzerland for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
“The group has collected large amounts of money from mosques and Islamic centers, which it then transfers to sub-organizations of Hamas,” the Treasury Department announced at the time.

you right, we really need to start cracking down on ALL religions.
really, we just need to discriminate against ALL religious beliefs/ Muslim, Christian, Catholic- WHY would these people want to get an education or teach?!!
thank you for bringing this to light and writing this article Joe.
Are we nuts or something , we need to stop this crap.
obamanation is a muslum and he want to spread it.
I think we are nuts.
America is a Christian nation .
2012 can't come soon enough for me. You cannot elect a three-term senator and except him to function as president.Can the damage be reversed? We have already wasted a pile of money on health care reform that will go no where.One year in office score=0...nothing accomplished. Status quo in Washington. McCain or even Huckabee would have made a much better president.

America is a nation founded on freedom of and/or from religion. It most certainly is NOT a "christian nation".
Get your facts straight.
