The Taliban's former spokesman is now a Yale student. Anyone see a problem with that?

Never has an article made me blink with astonishment as much as when I read in yesterday's New York Times magazine that Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, former ambassador-at-large for the Taliban, is now studying at Yale on a U.S. student visa. This is taking the obsession that U.S. universities have with promoting diversity a bit too far.

Of course. He is just a student. He should instead be made a faculty member, perhaps even a dean.
Mr. Rahmatullah should feel right at home in Yale.
Political correctness rules the day once again. This sick obsession with diversity and multiculturalism will be our downfall. Ever college seat taken up by a foreigner is one college seat denied a native born American kid. It's time to stop this madness of willfull participating in our own demise.
How in the hell did he get a visa ? I thought we were cracking down on that.
Well at least he isn't going to Harvard. He will now be strongly left leaning rether than falling of the far left cliff.
Your thoughts concerning your now wayward alma mater?

So Harvard and Yale are competing for the student terrorist population, now? Interesting that he was recruited by Yale, even though he only has his GED. I wonder how many American homeschooled students with just a GED were admitted to Yale this year? Could it be that, being homeschooled, and likely religious, they would be considered 'not suitable' by Yale?
Yale is one of the country's leading anti-Semitic sewers. It's a perfect fit.
My son was a National Merit finalist with 1500 on the SAT's and didn't even get "wait-listed" at Yale. In retrospect I'm glad he didn't go there with all their lefty crap but he still should have been admitted before this Taliban terrorist.
A few years ago (before 9/11), one of my friends met this idiot while he was doing some kind of "tour" across the country giving speeches and doing "Q&A" segments.
He TOLD them, he had almost no real education, and didn't have much of a background or learning in anything (math, science, even islam itself).
The one thing my friends remember the most from meeting him.....was his own ignorancy and screw up of basic facts with his own religion (this guy was the one idiot member of the taliban who was "rusty" on his own religion and its practises).
He made a fool of himself across the country, how the hell did he get into, and now manage to stay and pass, in Yale?
I think he is semi-literate.
Why do I think that Yale hasn't also brought over a student who had some limbs chopped off by the Taliban?
I wouldn't really call this guy a terrorist, just a terrorist enabler.
Oh pleeese, tell me this is a joke!
Not hard to see how he's managed to rack up a 3.33 grade point average, despite his 4th grade pre-college education. Not only is he taking courses on subjects he's already an expert in, but when you're an expert in stuff like the how-to of terrorism, even the dim-witted leftist profs that teach garbage like this aren't stupid enough to give you a bad grade. I mean the profs have no trouble "justifying" the actions of terrorists when they blow other people up, or chop off their limbs, which was more the Taliban's style, but they have no intention of getting blown up or getting limbs chopped off themselves.
