Why were you in favor of liberating an Islamic country?

I wonder how many muslim students and graduates of American colleges are sleeper jihadists.
You wonder, do you? Let us know when you actually know something, okay?

BTW, 'well-to-do people' in the UK do not live in council housing.

Quick, someone tell Jen Psaki and Marie Harf.
This person is far from the norm, I would not put the Jihadists in the Mensa category. How many of those 30,000 volunteers do you think were college graduates with a good job. Typical to take one person and make it the standard. There are many poor and uneducated heading for Iraq, Harf was correct

I bet it's far fewer than the graduates of Western European colleges and universities.

I read about that. Many of the Islamist pig kind in 2015 ain't the "poor camel riders" when most of us think of Muslims, those terrorists DO have the rep of coming from "good" families.

No, she wasn't. And it's an embarrassment.
Too many of the jihadists going to join with ISIS are from western countries... and middle class families, or better.

Maybe if they behave we'll let them pray in LA Fitness locker rooms.
Didn't we do that with the Boston Bombers

A lot of them are College drop outs, who become disillusioned when they can't make it in the west. When I was in college, Mechanical Engineering, most of the Middle Eastern students would sit in the back row and copy off each other during test.
