Muslim Scholar to Make First US Appearance Since Lifting of Ban

And a prominent Muslim scholar who was barred from the United States under the Bush administration is scheduled to appear at his first US event since the ban was lifted earlier this year. The scholar, Tariq Ramadan of Oxford University, will take part in a panel on Muslims in Europe and the West at New York’s Cooper Union next month. Ramadan was barred from taking a position at the University of Notre Dame in 2004 after the Bush administration denied his entry without explanation. The Bush administration later said it was because Ramadan had once given money to a Palestinian charity.
