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.
Tickets available through www.smarttix.com/show.aspx?showcode=SEC20, (212) 868-4444, or at the door.
For press inquiries, please contact Isabelle Deconinck at isadeco@earthlink.net or (212) 727-7662 or Rachel Myers at media@aclu.org or (212) 549-2666.
————————-
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.

I do not believe that a moral man can support an immoral cause. I’d have more respect for someone who made the moral case for slavery – from which it would follow that the South was moral, and so its supporters were moral. (People like that do still exist – not even necessarily racist, just far-out-there authoritarians.)
I would not agree with a slavery defender, but I’d respect his courage and consistency.
@ Zimriel:
So you believe that everyone who fought on the Confederate side was immoral?

No. I did say that some causes are so clearly immoral that fighting for them makes one, also, immoral. I said that druik put his foot in it when he denied that.
I didn’t quite say that the Confederacy was immoral. Although I did say that to make the moral case for the Confederacy is also to make the moral case for slavery – or, at least, for trusting white plantation owners and/or the states which they ran to decide when and on what terms to release their slaves. Which, I will say, is a hard case for a moral man to make.
@ Zimriel:
The free blacks who fought for the Confederacy; were they fighting for slavery?
Just pointing out the civil war was a bit more complicated.
I don’t like slavery, but I am 1/2 Southern by birth and I love Carolina style pulled pork, hush puppies, “bickets” and gravy, and sweet potato pie. Does that make me a Neo-Confederate?
waldensianspirit wrote:
Some were misanthropes who hated blacks blacker than they. These were most common in Louisiana, which (like Haiti back in the day) had a mixed-race contingent who also owned slaves.
Some of them, it’s been documented (I see you haven’t read Bruce Levine’s “Confederate Emancipation”) signed on to get a rifle and training, and then promptly deserted to the Union.
But there weren’t very many in total.
No black joined the Confederacy for ethical and moral reasons.

Here’s the deal:
One can make a case for the Southerners’ right to decide when and how to release their slaves. I’ll have respect for that argument.
One can make a case for the South just being a white supremacist hellhole, and for the Union’s right to invade the place and enforce its rival order with an army. I’ll have respect for that argument too.
I don’t respect arguments like “it’s commmplicaaaated”. That’s whining. It’s “raising questions” with no validity. It’s trutherism.

You do realize, don’t you, that that isn’t what, you know, really happened. Lincoln didn’t free the slaves and send in the Union Army to enforce the order. The slaves weren’t freed until long after the South had fired on Ft. Sumpter and secceeded. Even then, they were only freed in the parts of the South that were in rebellion. You did know that, didn’t you? Slaves in States that didn’t Rebel (like West Virginia) were not freed until after the South was defeated. Was that because it was simple?
@ Zimriel:
Which explains you attitude and your ignorance. My family has been from the South since before there was a United States. I had ancestors fight on both sides of the Grey-Blue line, and none of them owned slaves.
I had the impression from watching some of Ken’s… Civil War documentary that most southerners fought in the war from a sense of loyalty to the south. And that the political battles over slavery further polarized those loyalties in people. Most people fighting owned no slaves.
Muslims have like to keep slavery legal wherever possible. Morocco had offical slaves up until around 1945
What a hideous man. What happened to the handsome Tariq? LOL I remember reading an article in Vogue (iirc) abt this manly muzz, with his exquisite, well tailored suits and over all great style and good looks.

Good luck to him in traversing the country trying to push his jihad b.s.
He arrives as a pencil neck, hairy muzz terrorist.
Fck Hillary for bringing this shit head in.
The North wasn’t in it to free slaves. Not risking their own lives in war to end slavery. The freeing of slaves came from the people apposed to slavery gaining their voices [ over along time] and numbers. Otherwise the same type of slavery would still be here today.
@ Iron Fist:

Yes, I knew that.
And I also know, whatever Lincoln the politician said: the war was going to end either in a Union victory, black emancipation, and Reconstruction; or, in a Confederate victory, a crippled Union, and blacks probably being restricted to a pale of settlement and kept in degrading conditions for many decades afterward (for their Union support and because most of the gentlemen were killed; again, well-documented).
Either way, the old way of the South was going to end. A new way of apartheid, a very violent form of it, was going to rise in its place. Which is what actually happened in the South, starting with the Colfax Massacre.
What saves the Confederacy – for me, anyway – from being written off as immoral and your own ancestors, also, from being immoral: the Confederate aristocracy were Cavaliers, in effect, who were not fighting for the apartheid they ended up getting. They were fighting for feudalism and peonage, mitigated by a code of honour; a far more honest system.

And Lee was the next thing to an abolitionist. Had Virginia not secceeded, he would have commanded the Armies of the North, and the war would have likely been far shorter than it was.

Of course, what gets lost in the shuffle when talking about Brazil ending slavery ten years after the US is that in Brazil importation of slaves continued right up to the eve of emancipation.
The US had outlawed importation back in 1808 (something else that tends to be forgotten), which meant that without any legal access to a fresh supply of slaves, the US slaveholders had a financial interest in preserving their property to the point where they at least maintained their population, if not increased it. That’s not to make US slavery out to be a bed of roses by any means; it merely points out that there was a financial interest in its not being as brutal as it could have been.
In Brazil, by contrast, the death toll was so high that the slaves could not reproduce at a replacement rate, so importation—again, up to the eve of emancipation—remained necessary as long as the slave system continued.

Democrats, aka liberals in America all love the south of the border wage slaves. If fact they have open doors and enable the coyotes who haul the slaves across the border. Many of the Union’s use them for the grunt work and when the wage slave gets hurt, they put him in a pickup truck and send him back south after his free medical in a Calif. Texas, New Mexico, Az , hospital, they shop steward who collects the money to get Obama and the kook kommie kzar’s elected gets on a cell phone and orders up another wage slave.
