In England, Tariq Ramadan is getting a snuggle for being the voice of moderate Islam:
Yet the desire to prove that London's Metropolitan Police is not Islamophobic has created grotesque examples of political correctness. Scotland Yard is contributing $15,000 of taxpayers' money to enable a Swiss Islamist academic who is a recognized apologist for terrorism, Tariq Ramadan, to address a conference of young Muslims in London next month, despite knowing full well that Mr. Ramadan had been banned from America.
He's banned from France too.
Daniel Pipes provides background on Ramadan in this article (it also includes links to other articles on him as well) and Ramadan himself has his own website where you can read some of his love letters from the West.
