CAIR calls for reversal of prof's visa revocation
A
prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called
on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to reverse its
decision to revoke the visa of an Islamic scholar who was due to begin
teaching at the University of Notre Dame. The Washington-based Council
on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the DHS decision to revoke a
visa previously granted to Tariq Ramadan, a well-known Islamic scholar
who is often described as a "moderate" and a "reformer," sends the
wrong message to the Islamic world about America's willingness to
listen to what Muslims have to say.
