I was dismayed to learn that yet again another moderate Muslim was refused entry to the U.S. yesterday. His name was on a list of inadmissible persons. Sheikh Dr. Zaki Badawi, who has a honorary knighthood in the U.K., who was even invited to a State dinner for George Bush by Queen Elizabeth, who just last week stood up and condemned terrorism, was yesterday prevented from entering the U.S.
Last year it was Cat Stevens, or Yusuf Islam as he is now known, who was refused entry, now Dr. Badawi. What message does this send to Muslims everywhere, when their moderate leaders are being denied access.
