And finally, another prominent Muslim has been barred from entering the United States. Adam Habib, executive director of the Democracy and Governance Research Program for South Africa’s Human Sciences Research Council, flew into New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport last weekend. He says he was detained for several hours and questioned about his views on terrorism. US border agents eventually cancelled his visa and put him on a return flight to Johannesburg. Habib was part of a South African delegation that came for meetings with the World Bank, the National Institutes of Health, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Habib is at least the third known prominent Muslim to be barred entry in the last week, following Fazlur Rahman Azmi of South Africa and Kamal Helbawy of Britain.
