I recently criticized Washington for welcoming thousands of young Saudis to be students in American colleges and universities as another tedious prostration to the terror-funding sheiks holding the oil spigot. The Saudis are planning on sending over 20,000 over the next four years.

As it happens, not everyone in the Kingdom is happy with the set-up either. A recent opinion piece ["Sending Teens Abroad"] in the ever fascinating Arab News contained some revealing insights into the Saudi character.

Honesty is not a Saudi value, it seems. (Not surprising, given that Islam encourages the acceptance of lying in the service of Allah, known as taqiyya, so it’s not much of a stretch for untruths to extend into other areas of life.)

Some of our students even lie in their responses and are proud of it. These students, used to lying to officials in the Kingdom, can fall easily to American justice when they lie or provide false information to US officials.

One of the bad habits that our students take with them when they go abroad is the culture of sexual harassment. They cannot take this culture to America. American woman can easily report sexual harassment to authorities. Saudis that engage in sexual harassment can end up arrested, charged, jailed, and deported. In this system that often sides with the woman in sexual harassment cases, what do you think happens when the accused is an Arab?

The rest of the article further notes that young Saudi males are accustomed to using political pull to get out of trouble and are terrible drivers!
America’s campus communities should prepare themselves accordingly. Seatbelts and pepper spray would be a good start.

Denver cop killer Raul Gomez-Garcia arrived in Denver just hours hours before Christmas eve after the Mexican Government agreed to extradite him.

Both the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News made subtle allusions to Gomez-Garcia returning because he missed his infant child (anchor baby) and “common law wife” (who certainly wasn’t with him long enough to be that!).

Yes, Coloradoans were to believe this trio was some sort of Joseph, Mary and the Baby Jesus, reunited through Raul’s love and willingness to face persecution and hardship — not that he is a a low-life, violent, irresponsible illegal alien who fled to Mexico to avoid justice for the Mother’s Day Execution of Denver Police Officer Donald Young and the attempted murder of his partner, Jack Bishop, sticking us with the cost of birthing and raising his illegimate spawn.

No mention that Congressman Bob Beauprez successfully passed legislation cutting off Mexico from US foreign aid (begging the question why we send them any $$$ at all) if they fail to extradite cop killers.

Given the called birthright citizenship to the offspring of illegal aliens under the 14th Amendment, Section. 1. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the.…” Here’s my question: With Denver sanctuary and Raul’s special status as a Mexican citizen who touched stone south of the border after fleeing, if Mexican illegals are NOT SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION of Colorado or the US (Gomez will not face the death penalty because of he actually is NOT subject to our laws, but the jurisdiction of Mexican laws), and their children get a pass as a result with dual citizenship, isn’t it a no brainer that Sanctuary Cities negate this mis-interpretation of the 14th Amendment?

After all, the Mexican Government is dictating the terms of his extradition, i.e., he will NOT face the death penalty. Oh, and Gomez-Garcia has admitted he killed Officer Young, who reportedly grabbed his neck before kicking him out of the late-night drinking extravaganzic “baptism” party where Young was pulling private security duty in DPD uniform. [Revenge was vowed, police say]

Implication is that Gomez-Garcia’s pride was damaged. Hey, wasn’t murder a natural response?

Sadly, the invaluable Fjordman blog is is really closing up. In a year of intense activity. this Norwegian blogger won a worldwide following for essays analysing the Muslim conquest of Scandinavia, with links to supporting articles. Fjordman will be sadly missed.

The reason seems to be mainly exhaustion. To post at Fjordman’s pace must have been close to a full time job.

There was probably a second reason too, however. Propaganda requires repetition. There is not the same thrill stating the same facts and developing the same arguments for the twentieth time as the first. Yet it has to be done, if policy is to be influenced. One gets the impression that having established his case, Fjordman was getting bored.

Supposedly the blog’s fine archives will remain. But I am doubtful. Those of one of my other favorites, Epic of Gilgamesh, did not long survive the proprieter’s decision to suspend publication.

The plain fact is volunteerism has a finite life. Like citizen levies in medieval wars, the soldiers slip away to attend to their farms. For a cause to succed, a professional core cadre is essential. “Professional” means “paid” - at least enough to eat.
