At the invitation of the Australian government: Muslim scholar (Tariq Ramadan) to address Qld conference.

A controversial Muslim scholar who was denied access to the US over alleged links to terrorist networks is to give a lecture at a Queensland government-sponsored conference.

Professor Tariq Ramadan will be introduced by federal Labor Parliamentary Secretary for Multicultural Affairs Laurie Ferguson at the Griffith University event on Monday.

Prof Ramadan - whose grandfather, Hassan al-Banna, founded one of the world’s most radical Islamist movements, the Muslim Brotherhood, in 1928 - is due to deliver a lecture on Islam, The Weekend Australian reports.

The conference has attracted $50,000 in Bligh government sponsorship, the newspaper says, and Muslim and Jewish leaders are concerned about his second visit to Australia.
