One of 11 missing Egyptian students has been picked up in Minneapolis, Minn., NBC News’ Pete Williams reported and the FBI confirmed Wednesday.

Local police in New Jersey also believe they have apprehended two more of the Egyptian students. Federal agents, however, have not yet confirmed the identities of these students.

Eslam Ibrahim Mohamed El-Dessouki, 21, was arrested "without incident" by FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko said.

El-Dessouki is being held on an administrative immigration violation because he did not turn up for his monthlong exchange program at Montana State University, Kolko said.

Uncle is a citizen and grocery store owner. He says his nephew was trying to transfer to the U of M.

Note to the family: Getting oneself placed on the DHS's excrement list is not a good way to go about trying to matriculate.

Well, I'll be - they lied to us! "... not visiting relatives" is what they specifically said, after I noted there were some by his surname in Minneapolis! Grrrr.

[maggief]

The uncle owns a grocery store in Minneapolis. His last name is Kaheb, or something like that. I'll see if there's more at 6.

Ping to post #158 - El-Dessouki *was* visiting relatives there!

[tdewey10]

Did Uncle turn nephew in because he didn't want his nephew to kill himself?

[maggief]

Unc didn't say that ... maybe at 6. ;)

[Howlin]

This "story" -- and yes, I do mean OUR GOVERNMENT's story -- stinks to high heaven.

[sonic109]

How did they find them in NJ ? Half of NJ is Moslem territory theres days .

[tdewey10]

Yes. The constant refrain that there is nothing to worry about is ridiculous.

Thanks for the ping. This is so confusing. I'm listening to Jason Lewis, our local conservative talk guy, and he said El-Dessouki was found in South Minneapolis

Al Franken lives in St. Louis Park. Hmmmm.....j/k

[Rte66]

Thanks - also for the video link - I can't play it on this PC, so I hope there will be a story, too.

Can I *assume* that U of M means Univ of Minnesota, not University of Montana (as opposed to Montana State, where they were supposed to go)?

[IamHD]

The 2 in NJ turned themselves in.

Well you beat me to it. I can't remember the military term for this sort of "testing the waters" kind of operation but I'm sure it's occurred to someone in the FBI.
In terms of homeland security, eventually we'll have to resort to some kind of internment or mass deportation but unfortunately we're several 9/11's away from that.
In the meantime we'll just keep preparing for possible backlash against the mooslim community.

"Earlier today, FBI and ICE agents also arrested 21year-old Egyptian National Eslam Ibrahim Mohamed El-Dessouki in Minneapolis."

"Ayman al-Zawahiri appeared in yet another new videotape Aug. 5, announcing that Egyptian militant group Gamaah al-Islamiyah (GAI) has joined forces with al Qaeda. The 20-minute video -- a professionally produced tape from al Qaeda's . . . " - Stratfor

Since some of these men dispersed around the country, I wonder if they were couriers.

Couriers can be used to foil the U. S. overseas wire taps.

"some Muslims at a charter school in the Twin Cities have gotten the art classes totally overhauled to be consistent with their veiw of art: NO human portrayals"

Wow, and the cultural left is actually letting this happen? It used to be that nude painting and sculpture was one of the litmus tests for whether you were culturally "with it"..... if someone was the slightest bit squeamish then they were an obvious troglodyte.... but I guess not when a politically correct culture like Islamo-fascism is involved.

[Enchante]

Yeah, he wanted it so bad he went AWOL before getting anywhere near the campus....

I think that the state department should apply Sharia law exclusively for Muslims who violate US immigration law or US criminal law.A modest proposal that I am sure Johnathon Swift would appreciate.

Any Muslim while on a visa and present in the USA or its protectorates:

1)Lies to get a visa, tongue cut out and deportation.

2)skips out on an course under education visa, 40 lashes and deportation.

3)lies about US residency to get a state drives license: again, tongue cut out and deportation.

4)has sexual congress with an American woman while in country on a tourist visa: Castration or if violence employed in a rape, stoning to death, and deportation.

5) commits Felony theft while present in the USA on a visa, right hand amputated and deportation.

6) is DWI or drunk and disorderly while on a visa: 40 lashes and deportation.

7) commits Bestiality: 40 lashes and sewn up in an eviscerated pigs carcass, then washed with pigs blood , remaining for 24 hours in situ, and deportation.

8) makes Verbal or written disparagement of Christianity or the Jews: 40 lashes, rubbed with coarse salt and deportation.

9) Commits or aids and abetts an act of terrorism, immediate execution by decapitation, and them deportation.

This is the type of punishment these POSs would get at home for breaking their own laws. No wonder they laugh at our justice system and play criminal while on holiday, or as students.

Citizens and residents of all Muslim countries should have to apply for visas at least one year in advance, and undergo a thorough security vetting by US embassies and consulates in their country of origin. And if it takes longer? So be it. I believe that the time for the inauguration an anti-Islamofascist movement in the USA is long, long overdue.

We as foreigners would be treated under Sharia law if we acted in these ways in Muslim countries. Reciprocity, ain't it a b!tch.
