Did you guys hear about the story that broke the other day? Well apparenty, the lead spokesman for the Taliban is a student at Yale University. Doesn't this tell us something...?

In an article I read about this, it said that someone who was interviewing this guy 7 or so years ago before they found out who he was was escorting him out of a building that was a few blocks away from the World Trade Center (that then was still standing). The taliban member then looked up at the building for several seconds, but no comments were made.

How on earth did this guy not raise red flags when he was allowed into this country? And why is he still here now?

I say we drown him in boiling pig grease... <_<

[Dr. King]

Didn't you say that we didn't know until recently?

[The Man with the Golden Gun]

could you possibly give me the link to the main article???

[Elvenblader]

He probably didnt raise any red flag because no one believed who he was and now that the government knows, he probably is going to be treat him as a threat to national security. If you can get that link I would love to read it.

Our national security was lax at that time. No one thought anything of Arab people going to college here in America. Now, it is different .

[Bespetna]

By raising a red flag do you mean why was he allowed into the U.S. at all? Answer is becouse he had a visa to come to the U.S.A.

PS: not all people that live in the middle wast are bad people that whant to distroy the world!

its middle east not middle west
that does sound interesting though

[Joseph]

My dad actually told me all about the article he read... I don't have a link.

And by the way, on the issue of all people in the middle east being bad... they recently took a survey of muslim girls age 15-25 that were born in Frace and French citizens -- 75% said they supported osama bin laden.

Proof enough...?

[Baseballl]

Supporting Osama doesn't mean they agree with terrorism, he was in fact a good business man within the oil industry and his family is quite an impressive family both politically and economically. Just like the Hitler argument, he was a great leader and politician in his prime before the incidents that happened regarding Jews and many others.

So supporting Osama doesn't necessarily mean that they support terrorism.

And also it was French Muslims, and France treats Muslims like dirt, so they'd support anyone who doesn't like the Western world.

And I must inform you that 75% is not a whole, so that is not proof enough that all people from the Middle East are bad.

There are plenty of muslim people who want nothing to do with the stereotype of 'arab terrorist', and yet still suffer due to it. Seems that they're the new jews when it comes to intolerance.

The sacried thing about the cult known as islam is that they're not all arabs -- A huge percentage of them are black, chinese, mongolian, and also a huge portion of them are white; look at the former Yugoslavia... They're all muslims. Same with Chechens... and they're white!

There is no way to tell who is bad and who isn't.

[©allum]

Ok, it's not a cult, it's a religion. And not all Yugoslavians are muslim, there'll be a percentage of people from every nationality and every skin colour that are any religion. And just because a minority of muslims are radical, doesn't mean they all are. It's just that these extremists tend to be more outspoken than the others.

And it's not just muslims that are terrorists

What I meant by that he raised any red flags is the government will watch certain races and people who may pose a threat to the government and national security. It's crap if you ask me, the government did something similar back in the 1940's with people who were Japanese. On the west coast they forced Japanese people ut of their homes and into to internment camps. And in those camps they were crammed in like sardines and had little room. It wasnt until after the war were these people let go. A from of racism by our government on the west coast. And what was even worse was there were Japanese sons fighting in the US Navy at the time. So yeah it's really messed up.

But my point is our government will watch people and political parties that are very influential and will keep an eye on them to see if they are a threat to national security. It's not that this guy was singled out but that he suppports Osama Bin Laden that they will keep an eye on him. As Thomas Jefferson said, "The prices of freedom is constant vigilance."

About that Japanese internment camp thing: It was completely neccessary. We were at war. And we were fighting the most dificult war we ever had, and against a very formidable enemy with millions and millions of Japanese civilians who would fight and die for their emporer.

You must understand that before the attack on Pearl Harbour, there were Japanese in Hawaii that were spying on our ships. That is one reason why their attack was so successful. We literally had an "enemy within" as Michael Savage puts it. They could have signaled to enemy ships if it came to it or who knows what.
