Judge Demands Decision on Visa

A federal judge has ordered the Bush administration to decide by September whether to approve an entry visa for Tariq Ramadan, a prominent but controversial Muslim scholar in Europe. In 2004 the U.S. government revoked a work visa for Mr. Ramadan on the basis of unspecified public-safety or national-security interests. The decision prevented the Swiss citizen from taking a tenured teaching position at the University of Notre Dame.
