A bestselling author and critic of Islamic says the Obama administration has once again bowed to the whims of political correctness by clearing the way for two Muslim scholars, who were rejected by the Bush administration because of alleged ties to terrorism, to return to the United States.
“Tariq Ramadan is somebody who has numerous ties to Islamic supremacist organizations, and it was his connection to those terror groups that kept him out of the United States -- and the ACLU doesn’t seem to care about that,” comments Spencer. “They don’t seem to care, as always, about the safety of American citizens.”
According to Spencer, there is an underlying anti-Americanism that drives much of the nation’s academia.
“Among the academics that Tariq Ramadan and presumably Adam Habib move in their circles, there is a fashionable anti-Americanism,” he says. “They don’t care about ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, ties to Islamic supremacist organizations, and they share contempt for and hatred of the United States and Western values.”
The Jihad Watch director believes that if one does not hold to this anti-American ideology in academia, then he or she is not granted the best positions and preferred appointments.
