Latest on Zewdalem Kebede, Ethiopian American Student at San Diego State and Saudi Students
Thread Catalog by Shermy | October 24, 2001 | Shermy

Posted on 10/24/2001 8:57:41 PM PDT by Shermy

This is my attempt at a public service, a compendium of most (all?) threads regarding Zewdalem Kebede, the San Diego State Student who was chastised for confronting Saudi students who praised the 911 attacks.

The first thread arose from an October 17, 2001 article in the SDSU Daily Aztec.

Student: Attack praised...Conversation of three Saudi students about Sept. 11 events overheard in library

Then on October 20, this thread:

Latest on Ethiopian-American at San Diego State Who Confronted Saudis

Then on October 22, this thread:

New Article on Ethiopian-American Student who Confronted Saudis at San Diego State University

These three above set forth in full the relevant articles and many interesting comments.

The SDSU Administration struck back, as reflected in the following threads created October 23 and 24, containing many interesting replies:

October 23:

SDSU Sticks To Decision ("Protecting Terrorist-Symp Saudi Students")

October 24:

Police investigate e-mail threats at San Diego State U.

I created this catalog because of the great interest in Mr. Kebede's treatment. I didn't restate the newspaper articles here for brevity's sake. If you know somewhere to store them for easier access, please inform. I expect this will be an ongoing saga.

Mr. Kebede was interviewed this afternoon on the Sean Hannity radio show at 4:30 pm ET. I'm pleased to say that I think I helped bring it about. After talking personally with Mr. Kebede (who seems to be a genuinely nice person, but obviously someone of deep conviction and courage), and getting his OK, I e-mailed his phone number to "Sweet Baby" James, who is Sean's producer. Did anyone catch the interview?
