Here’s a link to the December LA Times story (which appears to be the basis for all subsequent stories), published in the “Black Voices” affiliate of the LA Times:
Black College grad is a high-ranking Al Qaeda member: Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the man believed to be behind 9/11, hides in plain sight -- and narrowly escapes capture in Pakistan.
Not surprising that the subject of Black Muslims is not raised, but it does expose the reason why Arab Muslims attended a small Baptist college: Chowan waived the English proficiency requirement. They would start there, gain some basic English, and move on to A&T.
If JJ is A&T’s most illustrious graduate, you’d have to seriously question their academic standards.
The English equivalency waiver made Chowan a conduit for Arab and Pakistani students. The president of Chowan said in recent TV interviews that he was promoting “international understanding,” but it's more likely that they, like many other small colleges, were/are more motivated by the financial windfall of paid-in-advance cash tuitions that foreign students offer -- whether they attend class or not.
Why don’t you look up the school instead of bashing it? Did you even go to college? Have a seat.
“Not surprising that the subject of Black Muslims is not raised,”
Because it has nothing to do with the article. Are the people on this forum dense?
