This case has grown cold and still no hard proof of Mr. Islam's alledged terror support has surfaced. In fact the hard proof of recent times suggests otherwise.
I wonder if you've read the other posts in this thread. I do note that a mere suspicion -- not absolute proof -- is enough to exclude a foreign national on the "better safe than sorry" principle.

I'm all for innocent til proven guilty because it works and sets the standard of a fair process. In this case no proof of guilt has been offered and I think banning Islam form the U.S. was a mistake. IF he is guilty of knowingly, actively supporting terrorists, this needs to be established so he can be deserving of the scorn the he has recieved.
Again, those are standards for proving someone guilty and incarcerating them. The standards for denying entry are lower, and IMO rightfully so.

... for now.
