Punished?? A Visa to the U.S. is a privilige, not a damn right, you sand-eating pig. Why don't all of you Saudis just keep pouring into Europe instead of coming here?

We don't want them either. British police slang for them is "s***bags".

"This is too much — over and beyond disgusting," said Al-Duweihi. "Saudis are being collectively punished for the actions of a few." He was referring to Sept. 11.

Why don't you Saudi's go to France and have a little cheese with that whine?

And yes, we do hate you; no, we don't want you here... stay home.

Hey Al-Duweihi - you haven't seen anything yet. Wait till we're bombing you.

[Let's Roll]

Yeah, the "too much" is that you are allowed to come here at all. One more time - we don't like you or your disgusting culture and we don't want you here. Oh and we don't care why you don't like us.

And take your blood cult friends with you.

I want to know why the consular interview is only two minutes.

It takes at least that to get the polygraph set up. Or to affix the jumper cables to the applicant as an alternative.

"This is too much — over and beyond disgusting,"

Funny, that is the exact thing I think when Sept 11 comes to mind. I think it's time to cut ties to these brigands! Let them drink their oil. Time to WASTE the entire region.

Good summary.

Beats my "Islamic Terrorists Go Home" lawn sign.

Could not have said it better myself if I had tried.

[joesnuffy]

Not as much as the toilet tissue industry feels by y'all

[Skooz]

Simply amazing what flying a few fully loaded passenger jets into our buildings, publicly raising money for suicide bombers, covertly (semi-covertly anyway) funding terrorists, and serving as ground zero for a religion that’s foremost goal is total destruction of our way of life and subjugation of our people will do for relations.

Bump!

"and which they looked to as a bastion of the freedoms and human rights."

Yeah, those Saudis really value freedom and human rights. You can tell by the s&*thole government they live under. If they valued freedom and human rights so much, they would want to come here to live, and never return to Saudi (and I daresay they wouldn't be blowing up our buildings and people).

"People see the visa line as a sign that says, ‘Hey we hate you, we regard you with suspicion, we don’t want you,’" said Khaled M. Batarfi.....

EXACTLY!!! Can you hear me now?

[thinktwice]

The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor caused some problems for those of Japanese descent, too.

Younger Americans might now understand why that happened.

[jwfiv]

Your reply 13 really is a nice summation of what's happening twixt us and the Saudis, and I agree all the way through.

Them sand fleas have mighty big, and tender, egos.

As a collective, they exhibit the sense of privilege and entitlement the Kennedy family displays.

[lavaroise]

Feeeeeeelings, I got feeeeeeeelings...

LOL, hey Ivan, I figured you may not want them either, but it sure didn't take you long to respond to that post. How about........say Australia?
