And finally, the US Department of Homeland security is coming under criticism today for preventing a leading British Muslim from entering the United States. Kamal Helbawy, the eighty-year old founder of the Muslim Association of Britain, was scheduled to speak in New York today at a conference organized by the New York University Law School. But just minutes before Helbawy’s flight was to leave London Wednesday, US officials forced him off the plane. Newsweek magazine reports the officials did not provide an explanation. Helbawy is well-known as a leading Islamic scholar and European spokesperson for the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood. He is also a member of the Muslim Council of Britain, which works with the British government to encourage non-violence in the Muslim community.
