This is an exceptionally adroit move by the President and the King.
Freepers are bigoted toward Saudi's based mostly on bad press and general ignorance. The bias is not deserved because it is directed at a few rather than the many.
The best way to counter the AntiAmerican propaganda is to have many educated citizens who know the truth. By living in American heartland away from the sin filled bluezone coasts, the good and the english language will rub off.
You should rest assured that King Abdullah will carefully vet those in this program to insure none are AlQueda.
Once again.....this is a truly great announcement.
The problem is that muslims can react to the sordid lifestyle portrayed on the TV and become super islamic as a backlash - After a muslim student comes here and watches some Jerry Springer shows, a little Oprah, and a Michael Jackson concert or two on TV, the muslim student (or any rational person) would conclude that a country that creates this trash (aka the Great Satan) should be destroyed before this trash spreads - so the muslim student becomes radicalized and joins Al Queda.
The correct solution, as proposed by Steve Sailer, is Disconnect. Do not allow any further muslim immigration into the U.S. Many Al Queda types were former students in the U.S., like Sheik Muhammad, who became radicalized here.
