Research

I did a lot of research on my topic to hear other peoples stories. I found that this isn't a rare occurrence. Sheikh Ikrima Sabri of Jerusalem was not allowed to leave his Israel. He was the head of the Higher Islamic Committee in Jerusalem. He was not allowed to leave his country for good reason. He did not do anything wrong, and Sabri said that "Such decisions were instated by regimes that ruled during dark ages of history, and now are used by a system of oppression and apartheid." I also found that there was some good reason for people not being allowed back into their country. For example, Michael Savage of the U.K. is not being allowed back into the U.K. He is one of many on their list of people not allowed back. Some of the reasons being: "allegedly fostering extremism or hatred, including Muslim extremists, a right-wing American radio host, an Israeli settler and jailed Russian gang members." I can understand this, but I still think there is a better way to handle it. Maybe letting these people back into their country would help them be better people if they get to be back "home". I don't think it is ever fair to ban someone from their home. There has got to be some way to solve the problems. To let them in, have them sign a contract promising to behave, and follow the law, and if they break the contract, then there is good reason to not allow them back into the country.
