    That is not who I am talking about when Qatar sent the weapons into Libya. According to news reports, it was the National Libyan Army with its various brigades that range from radical to moderate.

    I don't think that's being suggested; you highlighted the wrong parts. The parents feel he wasn't accepted here (I guess the question is - would a white kid have been arrested?).
    Nothing said suggests there are better learning opportunities or more fun, just that there is an opportunity that can certainly have at least as much fun as here.

    Again, can you point out where "you guys jumped all over that kid"?
    You ignored the question the last time someone asked you.

    "You" lot are obsessed with Ahmed and his clock or whatever you want to call it!

    How many former thugs, trained at your School of the Americas, do you have living free and in comfort in America-many of them also wanted to stand trial?

    Are you proud of your country?

    Exactly. At the very least, spitting into the facs of all these who showers disturbed, traumatized boy with gifts and invited him over for the photo ops he did.

    Plenty. Now we have one more, in training.

    And I'm always proud of my country, for the good has always outweighed bad. America is exceptional.

    I disagree. Contrary to what MSM may be telling you, Muslms in America have more opportunities than whites, the very OP is case in point. By the virtue of his stupid action, the kid had it made, while if it was a white boy, he'd be slapped on the wrists hard and get no gifts or tuition offers whatsoever.

    Now, who has the most opportunities?

    I work with middle school kids. They make "terroristic threats" all the time. I generally don't take them seriously. And I never said I thought Ahmed was a bright young adolescent.

    The police investigation disagrees with you, though, and once that was clear, anything less than a full apology and admission of an overreaction should be unacceptable to this family, but that didn't happen. Instead local politicians and right-wing pundits doubled down on the ant-Islamic rhetoric.

    I don't blame them for leaving.

    Good riddance. One less lying, attention seeking fraud in this country. Can they take the Kardashians as well?

    Is this it?

    From your sources:
    The Fox video : Could you point out where this relates to " you guys jumped all over that kid"? All it states that a letter was sent to the parents of children in the class. What did this letter say?

    "Harboring and supporting terrorism"? You mean just like America does?

    If the media weren't crawling all over the kid and his family you wouldn't be commenting on this non-issue. See what I did there?

    Yah, exceptional at training, funding and supporting terrorists. Congratulations on all the "good" which your adopted country is doing. I'm sure the people of Latin America will be forever grateful.

    This is beyond stupid. The Muslim population of North America hovers around 1.7% and you're telling us that this tiny minority has more "opportunities" than the remaining 98.3%? Yeah, I'll buy that...:roll:

    Next time you want to post some pompous windbag of illiterate drivel why don't you take five seconds to make sure that you asinine assertion is actually correct.

    Im part of the problem?!
    I am not the one blowing children to bits while they watch a marathon. My tax dollars paid to house the bomber, feed the bomber, educate the bomber and in return he thanked us by trying to murder as many of us as possible. Yes in your brain Im sure that still points to me being the problem...thats why we dont give a (*)(*)(*)(*) what people who blame us think anymore. My cat has better cognative abilities. It doesnt fear skygods nor murder children.

    Your personal attack aside I suggest you do a little historical research into what US-trained dictators, death squads and various other thugs did to those under their 'protection'. Your country was also indicted and condemned for war crimes and numerous violations of international law related to Nicaragua among your routine meddling in the region. Do you have any idea of the atrocities committed by the Contra who you armed?
    I couldn't care less about opinion polls, frankly. Why don't you talk to the families of the Argentine 'disappeared' who were victims of the coup which America openly supported.

    Yeah that's why I said "no real clear evidence" is always the issue. So, you see a suspicious object. Do you alert someone or risk getting burned again?

    =His parents have now likely set him down a path that is MORE likely to end with him making bombs than before.

    Yes,... you... are... part... of... the... problem. Your disrespect for Islam and negative generalizations about all Muslims breeds animosity, which in turn pushes many young impressionable Muslims toward the path of radicalization.

    Not that I'd expect you to understand or even care. You seem to revel in your wrath.

    Unfortunately, too many people in this world get a kick out of being an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) for no reason.
