Thought he was doing a noble thing and wanted us to know how they think ...

Its weird, but he is probably sincere. The truth is that probably almost everyone coming from that part of the world feels the way he says he did, because they have been bombarded with the most vile propaganda for a lifetime.

He had come to see us in a different light, and it was clearly troubling. The judge was justified in sending him home, but remember, this is the guy who no longer feels as he did, and reached out. The rest, very likely, have not had any such change of heart. And they are still here.

How we can prevent "accidents" like 9-11? Accidents!?

[truth_seeker]

He said he came to earn an advanced degree in computer software engineering but secretly hoped for an opportunity to carry out a suicide bombing using explosives strapped to his body.

Prudence on our part would ASSUME that most arabs and muslims in our midst ARE JUST LIKE THIS.

It should not fall for us to naiively WAIT for them to reveal their true aspirations, for they come from cultures and a so called religion, which rewards deception.

In the face of ALL the evidence against Saddam's Iraq (WMD actually used on various innocent muslims) it is absurd he would deem that they should be supported, lock-step, simply for being muslim.

Their twisted sense of morality is simply wrong, and they cannot be trusted.

Every American should watch carefully the muslims in their own communities. I once had a muslim friend, who used deceit to hide his true opinions, so long as it served his needs (graduate degree).

He was Iranian, and it came to be known, he supported the mullah-dictatorship revolution. He rapidly became persona non grata, in the workplace and resigned.

I expect somebody told him to high-tail it, or get damaged. On balance, most Iranians are less imbued with islamic insanity, and that is reason for some degree of hopefullness that another revolt will topple their mullahs.

Jordanian student at UTA ordered deported

Excerpt:

In a rare glimpse at the government's domestic war on terror, a Jordanian student from Arlington admitted in court Friday that he had considered becoming a suicide bomber if the United States invaded Iraq.

Tahir Ibrihim Aletwei, a 30-year-old software engineering graduate student at the University of Texas at Arlington, spoke freely about his inclinations toward terrorism and divulged details of his interviews with federal agents during his deportation hearing.

< snip >

"I abhor the thought processes that you acknowledge," Judge Rogers said. "The issue we have in this nation since 9-11 is we want to act on the side of caution, and it will be necessary to send you home. That's my final ruling."

At one point, Mr. Aletwei proposed that he be allowed to stay in exchange for cooperating further with authorities, who had interviewed him extensively. The judge deferred to INS prosecutor Heidi Graham, the government's representative in the proceeding.

She declined the offer: "Had we known about what he calls his misguided thinking, we would never have issued him a visa."

< snip >

"He's a peculiar case, I have to admit. I haven't heard of one like that, and I've been in the business for 35 years," Mr. Revell said.

Mr. Aletwei said that when agents asked him whether he was involved in terrorism, he said yes.

He said he proceeded to explain to agents that his desire to become a martyr was cultivated by his home country's hatred of the neighboring state of Israel and its most powerful ally, America.

Mr. Aletwei said in court Friday that he came to the United States as part of a Jordanian-sponsored student exchange program in August 2001. He said he came to earn an advanced degree in computer software engineering but secretly hoped for an opportunity to carry out a suicide bombing using explosives strapped to his body.

He said that though he had no formal training to carry out a suicide attack, he was mentally prepared.

"In my mind, I was doing a noble thing," Mr. Aletwei told Judge Rogers.

Thanks for posting this. You beat me to it !...

Mr. Aletwei said that when agents asked him whether he was involved in terrorism, he said yes.

The shocking thing is that they actually kicked him out.

"Tahir Ibrihim Aletwei, a 30-year-old software engineering graduate student at the University of Texas at Arlington, spoke freely about his inclinations toward terrorism and divulged details of his interviews with federal agents during his deportation hearing.

"I was looking at America as my enemy," he said. "If someone would have approached me and asked me to do something against the country, I was willing to do it."

Mr. Aletwei said he had since had a change of heart and was confessing to help U.S. authorities better guard against people like him. He said he had not been approached by terrorists seeking to enlist him and had no target.

But when U.S. Immigration Judge D. Anthony Rogers referred to an FBI report quoting Mr. Aletwei as saying he still harbored thoughts of killing Americans, Mr. Aletwei conceded that the prospects of a U.S. invasion of Iraq had him again contemplating an attack.

Judge Rogers ordered that Mr. Aletwei be deported within five days, rejecting several pleas by the detainee to be released long enough to finish the last three months of his master's degree."

Glad they are deporting him. This is what we need to do now. The lives of innocent Americans depsnds on it.

<< ...... the suspect seemed mentally unbalanced and unpredictable ..... >>

Sounds to me; my opinion only strengthened by my experiences during hundreds of trips spanning more than thirty five years into and around -- and years spent in -- North Africa, The Mid-East and Arabia; [And Malaysia, Indonesia and Sothern Philippines] like the definition of an ordinary islamofascist.

And/or of an ordinary Arab.

[montag813]

Don't worry, a press release from CAIR, and a few calls from Grover Norquist should be able to keep this fine upstanding youth in our nation.

[dokmad]

" released long enough to finish the last three months of his master's degree. "

Looks like this ungrateful bastard can finish his "American" masters while he Master***** in the back of a dust hut thanking his prophet Muhammed for such clear guidance.

That's not all that should be done to him.....

[Jerry_M]

Pathetic

This guy hates America, but loves what America has to offer (a UTA IT Masters Degree). Why did they give him 5 days? Weren't there any flights to Jordan that day?

[Lunatic Fringe]

OK, I'm transferring to UT-A soon, why the hell do these guys keep popping up there? =(

[LouD]

We don't need to understand them - We just need to kill them.

[Cachelot]

Dr. Reyes said he wrote a letter to the U.S. Embassy in Jordan at Mr. Aletwei's request to get his visa reinstated.

Seems this professor needs deported/incarcerated too...

"I want people to understand just how we think because if they understand how we think, they can prevent accidents like 9-11. I don't believe war or violence can solve anything."

No wonder these guys are crazy, they live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance. They can call the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon accidents and not believe in violence while contemplating becoming a homicidal bomber. That would be too much for me to handle. There are too many of this brand of vermin running loose within our borders. Kudos to the judge.
