"Al-Doweesh said he knows of no Arab students on campus who harbor anti-American views. "They love America. Otherwise they wouldn't be here."

One to take bets on how much this guy "loves America"?

"JCG" at post #3 in the Kebede Oct. 20 Thread received a similar e-mail. This was his great reponse:

"My response...

Vice President Kitchen's statement added nothing to the original report that I read. It seems unlikely that a single black student would attempt to harass three other students unless something was said or done that just couldn't be ignored. If it wasn't words about the WTC slaughter was it a personal slur of some kind? What did the Saudis give as the reason for the confrontation?

Rather than posting platitudinous drivel on your Web pages about"innocent Muslims" you should be investigating the backgrounds and associations of these students to determine whether or not expulsion from the university and deportation are in order -- or summon the FBI to do it.

This guy should report the students and the SDSU Administration to the FBI. Then let's see them crawl into the woodwork and wish they hadn't harrassed him.

At least one of the Arab students felt concerned enough by Kebede's actions, however, to call campus police.

Wow.

This is one Hell of a biased sentence!

The filthy terrorist-lover CLAIMS he felt concerned. CLAIMS he felt concerned. How does the journalist know for a fact he was CONCERNED, and not just trying to harass Kebede?

Why don't we have the guts to deport these scumbags? Let them snicker in their tarball in Saudi.

This guy is a REAL AMERICAN! He is also a honorary Freeper in my book!

He's a dark skilled foreigner and therefore must be deported. We can't be too careful.

Sarcasm off.

"Al-Doweesh said he knows of no Arab students on campus who harbor anti-American views. "They love America. Otherwise they wouldn't be here."

I'm sure they love America on the level of personal experience. They love the freedom, the wealth, the opportunity.

But at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if they explain the backward state of their homelands as being the result of 'Western Oppression.' So they utter kneejerk racial-centrist comments sympathizing with the terrorists.

When Kebede created a confrontation, they realized they were fingered. So they're trying to carry the attack against him, by having him arrested.

Notice that 'hate crime' laws have backfired and are actually defending those sympathetic to terrorism -- which is, after all, the ultimate 'hate crime.'

The fact is, 'hate crime' is the same as 'thought crime.' And getting arrested for what you're thinking is too much like an Arab country for me to feel comfortable with the concept.

"He knows of no Arab students who harbor anti-American views."

My bull*hit detector is flashing. My son attends Washington State University and says that anti-Americanism is quite common among Arab students there, and I would be surprised if the situation at San Diego State were a whole lot different. Last year, the Arab students at WSU maintained a table in the student union where they routinely passed out literature highly critical of American policies in the Middle East.

We need to identify the people on the campus staff behind this outrage and denounce their "overt act" of treason to the US Attorney, in the hopes that they will soon be load-testing a rope with their necks.

LOL - Anti-American = candidate for deportation. The old "Love it or Leave it (and never return)" policy. I could support it. I'm not anti-immigration, I'm for sensible immigration, naturalization and deportation.

I believe that the basis of the warning was that he harassesed the original Arab students and they can't publish their names because they are victims. The third Arab, however, confronted Kebede by asking him "do you have a problem with that", obvious intimidation.

The question is, did the third Arab get a warning letter also for harassment of Kebede?

What kinds of skills are "dark" (not proofing one's message before posting, perhaps?)? ;-)

"You missed the damning evidence:

1.The Ethopian was an American Citizen
2. He was a Christian."

Exactly. No bias allowed here. Simply blame the Christian citizen patriot. (He had three strikes against him. Haven't we all learned yet that citizens must yield their rights to any who demand them? Especially non tax-payers.)

The biggest problem is he's still at one of our stupid universities, instead of working for the CIA or FBI for top dollar as a translator.

Hello CIA! This man has already proven he understands Arabic, and that he's loyal to the US. You say you need translators! Here's one right here!

Some new things coming to light re the SDSU Muslim Student Association webpage: The following are excerpts from the "Journal" page of the website of the San Diego State University Muslim Student Association. Any misspellings, innappropriate caps, etc., appear as they do on their site, via cut and paste method. Bold for effect is mine for emphasis.

9/11/2001 11:21 AM Pacific TIme THE BORDER ISOpen.
The RUMORS ARE FALSE.
go to cnn.com to read more

THE BORDER Between Calexico & Mexicali is OPEN

"This is What New York used to look like. Those two towers on top right hand corner are now gone!

NEWs!
NEw York, Washington have been bombed. And presz bush's house in Maryland.

The news from the South West Border is that the US Mexican Port of Entry is Closed.
I'm going right now to videotape the event.
email me at zulma@chumitas.com

San Diego State U. Muslim Student Association home page
Journal page of SDSU Muslim Student Association

My comments now: Bush's house! Is this what the plan was? This journal entry was made at 11:21 Pacific time which is 8:21 Eastern time - approximately the same time that the first plane was hijacked.

THE FIRST WTC TOWER HAD NOT EVEN BEEN HIT YET, BUT SHE ALREADY HAD A JOURNAL ENTRY ABOUT IT!

When was this actually posted on her site? I'm sure Tripod could determine the EXACT time it was uploaded to their site. Sounds like maybe the Heroes of Flight 93 ruined the itinerary! This needs to be checked out and suspects picked up. I think this is a smoking gun.

This women is very preoccupied with the Mexican border! The statements about the border are very cryptic, I think. Maybe the statements are some sort of coded message. With everything else going on, no I am not kidding about that.

Uh, no, it's actually 2:21 PM, as was pointed out to me on another thread. So here is the time correction as soon as It was brought to my attention. I just went three hours the wrong way. So, she may NOT have posted this BEFORE the crashes, only Tripod (or FBI,NSA) can tell for sure.
