#2 How is getting a visa a 'civil RIGHT'? More of a civil privilege, sez I.

#4 was forced to turn down a tenured position at the University of Notre Dame when the US government revoked his visa in late 2004 on the basis of the so-called "ideological exclusion" provision of the Patriot Act.

I'd be really pissed too if I missed out on that gravy train...

#7 Crusader: Sure, he's an intellectual, the same way that David Duke is. If y'all haven't read Paul Berman's epic article on Ramadan & his family's long dynastic relationship with Islamism, well, you're screwed, because TNR has blown up its archives and it isn't available right now. But here's the first page, cached.

#8 "Ideological exclusion is a form of censorship and it should not be tolerated in a country committed to democratic values".

However, ideological exclusion *is* an integral part of Islam. So give us a one of your knives so we can cut you with it.

"Your laws grant us the freedom to overthrow your nation and put our laws in place of yours."

#9 and violates the (US Constitution's) First Amendment rights

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. (It's right there in the constitution...look it up Professor Ramadan.)
