Well, technically...
Notre Dame did grant a tenured position to Tariq Ramadan, the Muslim scholar who has gone on record supporting female genital mutilation. The State Department refused to grant a VISA so he had to turn the job down after shipping all of his belongings to South Bend. The State Department was mum about the reasons for the refusal but it is widely reported that he has ties to al Qaeda.
Tariq Ramadan's grandfather was one of the founding clerics of the infamous Muslim Brotherhood. This organization is responsible for numerous acts of absolute barbarity. His father was so prone to violence that even Nassar couldn't deal with him and he was exiled to Switzerland where Tariq was born.
al Qaeda is considered to be a philosophical offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. Members of the Muslim Brotherhood killed Egyptian President Sadat after he made peace with Israel. They were also responsible for killing around 63 unarmed tourists at Luxor in Egypt in the 1990's. The leader of that attack was Ayman Zawahiri, Osama bin Ladin's right hand man.
Though Tariq has publicly renounced violence in his English and French speeches, analysts have reported that his Arabic correspondences are quite different.
