On May 9th, a Saudi student at Arizona State University, Muhammad Al-Gurashi was arrested for direct connections to terror. He personally drove convicted terrorist supporter Faisal Al-Salmi on numerous occasions to President Bush's Crawford, Texas ranch apparently on a pre-terror reconnaissance mission. This April, the home of Hassan Alrafea, president of the ASU Muslim students' association was raided by the FBI for suspected terror-links, confiscating their computers. But the left-wing political orthodoxy of our university prefers to stay silent on the matter.

In fact, we are not the only university in this country that has problems with its Saudi students covertly supporting terrorism. Sami Al Hussayen a former president of the Muslim Students Association in his college in Idaho was arrested by federal officials for his role in raising funds for Al-Qaeda's terror network. Academics rallied to his defense.

Its good to read that a fellow american and muslim understands and resists the anti-american indocrination that goes on in our universities.

What do our resident leftists have to say about the anti-american indoctrination that goes on in our universities?

I don't think its indoctrination. I just think students get to feel that way after hearing enough of their professors rant against conservative ideas or have professors "challenge" their views. Some professors seem to enjoy having a grab bag of "facts" that when presented to your average student seem to be unassailable.

I had some of those flippant academia liberals when I was college. I daresay it was hardly indoctrination.

In the case of these students being arrested, I think it was good for the school to practice discretion. No sense in starting a panic of feeding fear of middle eastern students.
