As long as they go back home when they are finished I am okay with that. For them to stay is to bolster a group of people that would strip us of our human rights. And we all know they want to stay.

They are very rich. Another Kuwaiti student gave him an SUV as a gift, when he returned to Kuwait.
I really hope he took his family of future jihadists back with him.

What a weird thing to say. Wait, are you equating Arab citizens with their oppressive governments? As if the average citizen wants their rights taken away? No, that'd be silly of you to think that.


The average moderate Muslim is no more dangerous than the average moderate Christian, Jew, Hindu or Buddhist. We don't seem to have any problems letting people of those other religions hang out in America though.

You are so wrong. I encourage you to read my latest post on the thread regarding banning Muslim immigration. I go into detail and give many examples of how Muslims, even your supposed "moderate" ones, desire to strip away the rights of all those around them. Please read it and comment with your thoughts.

Muslims co-exist peacefully with NO ONE. Again, please read my other posting as it is more relavent to the topic and won't get modded away.

Since Obama PERSONALLY signed the Visas of all the Muslim students where are all the Bills from Republicans seeking to BAN any more Muslim students from entering the country?

I see a lot of that from the Right Wing Nut jobs which claim to be Christian.

There are a lot of US universities investing in Saudi Arabia and vice versa. Saudi Arabia just surged from 67th to 12th in the world for ease in doing business according to the World Bank. Many biotech companies are also moving or opening up in SA because of their commitment to hundreds of billions of dollars in investment. You think the US is the only place in the world capable of doing high tech research? People are going to go where the money is. Americans really need to quit living in ignorance. The world is quickly outpacing us because they're much hungrier. American excellence existed pretty much during the era when most of the world was still climbing out of the ruins of WW2. Those days are long gone now, and everyone is catching up rapidly.

Good. The muslims can go there rather than come to America.

I don't know what else to call someone who dislikes someone else merely because of their religion. You are a bigot -- your above quote admits it.
Xenophobia and intolerance are virtues of those who wish to maintain their culture.

I'm no fan of Islam, but this is basically true. However, even if it wasn't it would be irrelevant. We cannot base policy on this country against a particular religious group. Between the First and Fourteenth Amendments, religious liberty and the Equal Protection Clause respectively, we have to let everyone in based on the same factors, none of which can be religious affiliation.
