If I have to go through the wringer to get into the US why should this guy get carte blanche? Are they afraid of him?

I sent a similar petition through Simon Weisenthal Center last week. When are we going to get the message that islam is determined to rule the world and Israel and America and Jews and Chrisrians are the only thing in the natural that is preventing this from happening. This is really about another Mount Carmel- the false god, allah and the one true God , the God of Abraham, Isaac , & Jacob. And to see a Christian President and a Christian Secretary of State allowing our enemies come here to do their evil work against us. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!

Good for you Sen. Allen ! That's the right thing to do. State Dept. never should have gave him one anyway! Just so you know, that's my Senator! I'm from Fredericksburg, Va.

I certainly agree with Senator Allen - I think this action will be a curve for the remaining Repubicians who are faithful to the party. Israel is priority to me - there are many in America that feel as I do. This man is a threat to all freedom and I ask how we can welcome this 'terrorist' into one of the main stays for freedom and condon & embrace him? I don't understand that, and I will certainly reconsider my vote come election time.

We should be stopping all other muslims from coming into this country. Do we really want the problems that Britain and Europe have over there?

thank you Senator Allen for being bold enough to speak the truth. How can our government allow those type of people to roam this nation without any restrictions. I some times wonder how our nation can be so ignorant to the enemy and his agenda.

Khatami is a mixed bag, he has stated he wanted reform as President, but accomplished little. I do not know enough about him, but it is interesting that he wants to come here. He certainly is not a friend of Israel. Here is some info on his history post-Presidency. On November 14, 2005, Khatami urged all religious leaders to fight for the abolishment of atomic and chemical weapons. On January 30, 2006, Khatami officially inaugurates the office of "International Center of Dialogue Among Civilizations". An NGO with offices in Iran and Europe that he will be heading, after his retirement from the government. On February 15, 2006, During a press interview Khatami announces the formal registeration of the European office of his Institute for Dialogue among Civilizations in Geneva. On February 28, 2006, While attending a conference of the Alliance of Civilizations at Doha, Qatar, he stated that "The holocaust is a historical fact" however he added that Israel had "made a bad use of this historic fact with the persecution of the Palestinian people." During the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict he has likened Hezbollah to

The saying goes:"don't bind the hand that feeds you" but it does not say "Kiss the hand that slaps you" Let's make up our mind: Is Iran our friend or our ennemy? Nothing is there to show Iran is our friend but a lot is there to show it is our ennemy. If so why are we extending an invitation to the ennemy? The visa is to one man, but what about all the entourage this man has with him? I am sorry, we are wrong in this decision. JACQUES HADIDA

Unfortunately, it would seem the denial of a visa is the way to show displeasure with the policy of any nation, in this case Iran. It is actually a mild form of censure. The way I would handle this si to allow Khatami to come to the US, bring him before administration spokespeople who would explain to him in no incertain terms the dire situation Iran is putting itself and the harsh consequences it will face starting with sanctions but not ending with them if they continue to persue their nuclear bomb objectives. Khatami should be sent home in a much more nervous state than when he arrived. It is a chance to start warning Iranian officials face to face that Iran's determination to possess nuclear weapons will lead in actuality to a destruction within Iran of important infrastructure. Khatami should be forewarned and made to feel quite uncomfortable. That should be the purpose of allowing him to come to the US.

I agree - as an American citizen and Christian sympathetic to the Jewish cause - leaders of organizations, who openly have stated their goal to destroy us, should not be permitted on our soil. It's a "no brainer"!!

United Jerusalem Petition
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, to ensure free and open access for all people.
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, as an expression of the unique relationship between the Jewish People and its eternal capital.
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, so as never to return to the dark period of 1947-67, when Arab control over an artificially divided Jerusalem meant religious persecution, desecration of holy sites, and wanton destruction.
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, according to the current municipal boundaries, set in the wake of Israel’s defensive 1967 Six Day War.
  • I support a unified Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty, where Jews may enjoy the right to pray on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in the Jewish world.
Preserve The Temple Mount
  • For a decade, Muslim religious authorities have participated in the destruction and elimination of precious Jewish and Christian artifacts on the site of Solomon's Temple, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
  • Thousands of tons of earth, containing archaeological evidence dating back to the period of the Temple of Solomon, were discarded. Among the 'rubble' were ancient seals from a Priestly family, inscribed pottery fragments in Ancient Hebrew, Altar screens and broken columns from a fourth century Byzantine Church.
  • Since the year 2000, the Muslim religious authority – the Waqf - has blocked all archaeological oversight of the Temple Mount.
  • Meanwhile, the Waqf continues to construct Mosques on the sacred sites of Jews and Christians.
  • We believe the international and Israeli media should have unrestricted access to the Temple Mount.
  • We believe the world-respected Israeli Antiquities Authority be empowered to supervise the day to day activities on the Temple Mount.
  • Currently, the Waqf forbids any non-Muslim entrance, except on a selective and very limited basis. For instance, the Waqf does not give any observers access inside the vast subterranean rooms, from which many antiquities have been removed.
  • We demand the preservation and respect of the Temple Mount. Only full access and complete transparency for all parts of the Temple Mount can prevent further abuse and destruction of this site which has been venerated throughout history.
