What i wonder is why the good multicultists of Salon magazine are not boiling with righteous wrath over it. I mean, it' been said already that the Saudi guy is not guilty of anything, some people got even twisted up in a pretzel about the injustice of authorities questioning this dude. Now he is being deported. That seems a much more dramatic measure than an interrogation. These days no ordinary mexican dope pusher can achieve it even after illegally crossing the border and beating up a cop. Where is the anger about this guy's deportation, that's what i am curious about.indeed, and not just salon magazine either.outrun has been quite outraged in this thread about the suggestion that on occasion some muslims might be involved in terrorism,while in the other threadQuoteOriginally posted by: Traden4AlphaQuoteOriginally posted by: ppauperso is the saudi student no longer a suspect ?at 7:30 he was but at 8:30 he wasn'tIt's not surprising, is it? If I were a Saudi Arabian in Boston and some bombs went off near me, I'd run because I'd know that some racists assholes (aka "patriots") would think I was involved.I'm sure T4A is appalled that Obama (whom I suspect that T4A considers a "racists assholes (aka "patriots")" even if you and I do not) has deported this poor guy.It's not enough that we accused him of being a terrorist for simply being unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, Obama has to throw him out of the US as well ?there was a story on fox news website which has now been taken down, but other sites discuss itSaudi National Questioned in Boston was on Terror Watch ListMy point exactly! The watch list isn't very useful because the vast majority of the people on it are non-terrorists.There's about 14,000 sworn agents in the FBI but the watch list has 1 - 2 million names. So even if the FBI stopped investigating robberies, drug-related crime, kidnappings, corruption, fraud, and other domestic crimes, each agent would need to keep tabs on the activities of 70-140 "suspects."wiki has the terrorist watchlist at 400,000 namesI'd have thought much higherLooking at just muslims, per wiki>> Approximately 23% of the world's population is Muslim. Current estimates conclude that the number of Muslims in the world is around 1.6 billion400,000 to 1.6 billion would be 1 per 4,000 or 0.05%And the real number is much higher:In Britain for example, 13% "Regard further attacks by Al Qaeda, or similar organizations, on the USA as justified"
http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2005/07 ... slamistAnd not all of those 400,000 are in the USThe point about this Saudi is that he shouldn't have been given a student visa precisely because he was on the terrorist watchlist.It's not a case of (your words) <<the FBI stopped investigating robberies, drug-related crime, kidnappings, corruption, fraud, and other domestic crimes, each agent would need to keep tabs on the activities of 70-140 "suspects.">>, it's a case of not letting people on the list into the US
