, the man seems to be a chameleon. He's clearly in it for the $$$.

lol @ terrorist btw. Anybody who rejects imperialism and neocolonialism disguised as a "civilizing mission" = terrorist?

I've said this before, but these folks going on about spreading freedom and democracy seem to be rehashing the nineteenth century's "White Man's Burden" justification of colonialism. You @ the Isaaqs for their alleged support of the British, but here you are doing the same thing a century or so later.

You're on the wrong side of history, dear cousin

they stopped him from getting a visa, because he was articulate and would give a good image to muslims,
countering all their hard work in demonizing muslims..

Being in favor of the overthrow of a genocidal madman hardly puts me on the wrong side of history, my friend.
This ugly charlatan, who momentarily charmed away my natural cynicism towards those who make a career of religion, should be condemned for endorsing the suicide murder operations undertaken by radical organizations which have had a devastating affect on the Iraqi people.

And let me guess, the "Zionist media" was behind that too?

not really AIPAC denied they had anything to do with it, i believe them.
It is more likely that it was some enthusiastic "conservative" in the state department that was trying too hard , while being ignorant.

its no big deal happens all the time..

for example some knucklehead in homeland security, though he was smart, he figured that the name khan is an afghan muslim name,
so anyone with that name must be taliban or at least a terrorist,
this made him interrogate the Bollywood actor shah rukh khan for a few hours and humiliate him..

he was going to be held in custody till the Indian ambassador directly intervened.

This man endorsed suicide murder operations in Iraq.
Don't you think that's fair ground for preventing his entry into the United States?

killing civilians is xaraam clearly immoral,

but killing occupying US soldiers is a blessed duty.
and dying in the attempt is a gaurentee to paradise.

If Ramadan said this, I can totally see the logic behind his visa rejection .

He did say that.
That's why the state department rejected his visa application.
But gurrey apparently thinks his visa rejection has something to do with a conspiracy to "demonize Muslims"

[Keyblade]

Sounds like a run of the mill Awlaki quote , would never have guessed Ramadan said that.

That's not a Ramadan quote, that's Gurey

The only thing he said was that an indigenous resistance group has the right to resist foreign occupation. I think the French Partisans and the Founding Fathers of this nation would agree with that.

@Union, one day you're spreading "enlightenment" and promoting liberal values, the next day you're justifying an illegal invasion and sounding like a staunch Cheyneyite
