The Globe also recently published an op-ed by Diane Eck of the Harvard Plurality Project (or some such multi-culti-religous name), who was unhappy that the State Department has kept Tariq out of our country. I forwarded her a few articles about him that I found. Will forward this to the dear lady as well. Some European country has also denied entry to him, either France or Italy, I believe. The State Dept is doing some things right.
Boston Globe? What about the British university (either Oxford or Cambridge) that has Ramadan there as a visiting scholar, or Time magazine who named Ramadan as one of the 100 most "influential thinkers" of the new century! I am unclear, however, as to whether the Blair government has ever sought Ramadan's opinions on matters related to the Islamic community, but given Iqbal Scranie's knighthood, I wouldn't rule that out either.
"the British Home Secretary invited him, in August 2005, to join 13 Muslim shapers of public opinion in a task force aimed at "examining ways to prevent young Muslims in Britain from deteriorating into violent extremism""
Perverse.
