I wasn't particularly criticising you
simply pointing out that the actions went further than you said in your post. In short, he's banned from the US and is basically considered a terrorist.
What do you think of the idea that you can be held responsible for what a third party does with money you give them... esp. when you either may not or do not know what exactly will be done with it?
Is giving money to muslim charities automatically grounds for banning foreign citizens as terrorists? What about branding US citizens as such?
This is pretty much of a part with the current designation of (IIRC) Omar Khadr as a terrorist for planting landmines and killing a US soldier in a firefight. It should be noted that these events happened while there was still a hot war going on in Afghanistan. If planting landmines and killing US soldiers makes one a terrorist by fiat, who ISN'T one in any insurgency in any country that the US currently occupies or may occupy? Even more to the point, does this mean that we should start seeking out all Afghans who planted landmines and killed Russian soldiers during their occupation of the country?
