Tariq Ramadan, the famous silver-tongued Islamist (click on the first link), was granted a Visa exemption by Hillary Clinton, and so he will be off on his American tour. He was previously banned from the USA for donating money to Hamas. This is a man who stands for wife beating, is the grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna, and justifies jihad on Israel…but is considered a “moderate Salafi Islamist.” (whatever that means)

So first off will be a speaking engagement, co-sponsored by the ACLU (of course), at Cooper Union, the school which previously had that “famous luminary,” Hugo Chavez, come and speak. I guess Tariq Ramadan is in good company!

Here are more details:

Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.
The Great Hall, Cooper Union
7 East 7th Street at Third Avenue, NYC
$15/$10 for PEN/ACLU members and students with a valid ID.

If you go, Islamist Watch, ACT-Manhattan, and Campus Watch people will likely be there. And make sure to click on the Campus Watch article about this event!

Next up, Tariq Ramadan will be speaking at the annual banquet of the unindicted co-conspirator, CAIR-Chicago, on April 10th.

And after that, on April 11, Tariq Ramadan will be speaking in the Detroit area, and address Muslim fest.

The coup de grace, so to speak, is that Tariq Ramadan will be speaking at the Ronald Reagan Building Ampitheater in D.C., apparently co-organized by our friends, the “United States Institute of Peace,” on April 28th. Go see the “wonderful” line up of Islamists and apologists set to speak at the Ronald Reagan theater, at a full-day event, titled: “U.S. Relations with Muslim World: One Year After Cairo.”

This is the symbol for the event: the U.S. flag shaped as a crescent, with a minaret covering Europe.

Please note that John Kerry, fresh off his “engagement” with Assad, was invited to be a speaker at this event, which features Tariq Ramadan (Islamist), and the U.S. flag as a crescent. And also please note that the U.S. Institute of “Peace” is a “bipartisan” Congressional organization that was behind the Iraq Study Group (i.e., sell Israel down the river report), and published John Limbert’s (who is on the board of an Iranian lobby group, the National Iranian American Council) articles.

It is clear now, that with his Visa waiver, Ramadan is going on a cross-country tour.

A source told me that John Esposito, in his talk at Northwestern University in Chicago, mentioned that Tariq Ramadan will stay for a long time in the USA.

That’s right, this Islamist gets the red carpet treatment, and forums to air his Islamist propaganda, courtesy of Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration. The ACLU (which I thought stood for civil liberties), is co-sponsoring this talk at one of our elite institutions. That’s right – more evidence of the Leftist/Islamist convergence, yet again. The U.S. Institute of “Peace” is co-sponsoring an event at the Ronald Reagan Theater. I am surprised J-Street did not co-sponsor this event!

It is enough to make one cry. But these are the times we live in. Blogmocracy netizens might be interested in attending any of the upcoming Ramadan talks, to either document what is being said, or to protest.
