We should end foreigners coming to our universities because they've become as un-American and as anti-American as you can get.

Why should a foreigner be like us? They're coming here for an education, not citizenship. Do you think our students that study abroad should have to learn to act like a native of that country? Most of the foreigners I know on campus like America. Most of their comments after 9-11 were more sympathetic to our country than Jerry Falwell and company's. What is with you? Someone tells you that someone is anti-American and you automatically accept it? You think everyone that goes to college is anti-American and that all foreigners in our colleges hate America because a few a$$holes burn flags and call for a Jihad?

Did you read the article at the top of this thread? "several people began get uncomfortable with the lecterers calls for jihad and militancy toward the United States"

It doesn't sound like the foreigners like the US as much as you think. The Middle Eastern foreigners don't tend to join in pro-American demonstrations much on campus, even back in Carter's presidency, middle-easterners from Iran were famous for burning the US flag in their anti-American demonstrations here on US campuses.
