Yale to host radical terror sheikh
Tunisian political leader advocated killing of U.S. soldiers
(Washington Freebeacon) A radical Tunisian sheik who has called for the murder of U.S. troops abroad and was banned from the United States for supporting the terror group Hamas is scheduled to headline an event on Tuesday at Yale University focusing on Islamic law and civilization, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Sheikh Rachid al-Ghannouchi, the head of Tunisia's controversial Islamist Ennahda Movement, is scheduled to head a lecture Tuesday afternoon Yale's Law School, according to the school's website.
Al-Ghannouchi's upcoming appearance at the Ivy League school could become controversial given the sheik's longtime support for radical terror groups and his past calls for Muslims to wage "unceasing war against the Americans."
