A Foreign Scholar, Kept Out by adamist at 11:19 pm EDT, Sep 6, 2004
Tariq Ramadan rightly points out how hard it is to critique Western or American policies and institutions during the war on terror without being considered a "threat." But the question he should be asking is, How does a nation allow for serious criticism, even of its foundational institutions, when it is quite clearly under a real attack?

Rightly? Then you and the rest of the terrorist-sympathizers on www.memestreams.net would be incarcerated. You whiners are lucky that they didn't bring back the alien and sedition acts.
