Remember a while back the U.S. denied a visa to darling of the left Tariq Ramadan to teach at Notre Dame University? Ramadan, a former professor at Oxford University, is the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, which gave birth to today’s jihadist groups .

As Thomas Lifson has noted, although his defenders call him “moderate” and the academic/media complex dotes on him, the government’s decision reflected common sense. Joseph Crowley reports that this past weekend Ramadan tangled with a young policewoman who stopped him from entering a prohibited area of Charles de Gaulle Airport. Crowley writes

an indignant Ramadan pitched such a macho hissy fit that airport police felt compelled to detained and officially charged him with “insulting a public agent” – punishable by up to 6 months of relatively torture free imprisonment and a € 7,500 fine.

Crowley wonders if “you can take the chauvinist out of Sharia” and “if the SOS-Racisme…, the French equivalent of our ACLU, will pick up the Islamophobic gauntlet thrown down by the French police in this case.”
