Hillary to Banned Muslim Scholars: Welcome Back! | NewsReal Blog

Hillary to Banned Muslim Scholars: Welcome Back! | NewsReal Blog

The Associated Press is reporting that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has signed orders enabling radical Muslim professor of philosophy Tariq Ramadan, of Oxford University in England, and professor Adam Habib, from the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, to re-enter the United States, after having been banned from doing so for over 5 years.

The State Department has concluded that the two no longer pose any danger to the country. According to spokesman Darby Holladay:

[Clinton] has chosen to exercise her exemption authority for the benefit of Tariq Ramadan and Adam Habib. We’ll let that action speak for itself. Both the president and the secretary of state have made it clear that the U.S. government is pursuing a new relationship with Muslim communities based on mutual interest and mutual respect.

Another spokesman added:

As we look at it, we do not think that either one of them represents a threat to the United States.
