A Tale of Two Terrorists

by: Malcolm A. Kline, November 22, 2007

The U. S. State Department is still trying to figure out who granted the foreign secretary of the Taliban a visa that enables him to take classes at Yale, where he is now a freshman. At the same time, the State Department stands by the decision of its former chief, Colin Powell, who refused to grant a work visa to a professor from abroad whom Notre Dame wanted to hire.

That professor would be Tariq Ramadan, whose grandfather founded the parent group of Hamas. Given the precedent set by the Taliban vet who is now a Son of Eli, the next question becomes: does this mean that Tariq Ramadan can now get into the United States on a student visa?

“That certainly would be a bizarre result,” admitted U. S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee, at a forum on immigration held on Capitol Hill. The forum, broadcast on Rightalk Radio, was sponsored by Paul Weyrich’s Free Congress Foundation.

Sen. Alexander still insists that the question of student visas be looked at carefully. “They usually stay for definite periods of time,” Sen. Alexander said. “But I’m not sure I always want them to leave.”

“You may have someone facing persecution in his homeland who could be the next Wernher von Braun.” Braun was the German scientist who fled Nazi Germany for the United States and helped the U. S. government develop the space program.

“We don’t have the plumbing to handle massive immigration flows,” says policy analyst Mark Krikorian. Krikorian, who works with the Center for Immigration Statistics, was referring to the immigration process run by the federal government.

I shudder to think what the Muslim equivalent would be.
