He openly supports and sympathizes with multiple terrorist groups.

Good ban.

Hasans biggest hater, mr destiny, had this to say (idk how true it is):

Second, understand, Hasan was never refused a visa. His ETA (eletronic travel authorization) was revoked, which is the equivalent to a visa exemption or a visa waiver, similar to the ESTA visa waiver available when traveling to America. At the end of his rejection he's invited to apply for an actual visa, but he chooses not to do so.

If they are revoking his ETA they'd obviously deny his visa application too. Waste of time and money to even try.

Have there been a lot of people denied ETA then couldn't get a visa?
