US to double ‘Fulbright Scholarship’ for Pakistanis: CG
By Asad Farooq
KARACHI: The United States Consulate in Karachi and the Blinck, a social organisation, jointly organised a youth conference to mark the International Youth Day under the theme of ‘Youth Participation in Decision Making’ at a local hotel here on Friday.
About 100 youngsters participated in the discussion and action forum at the programme.
Addressing the ceremony, US Consul General (CG) William Martin, who was the guest of honour, said that young people are making history and bringing fundamental changes in their societies as well as international community.
He presented the example of Tunisia and other countries of central Asia, where youths came forward and brought historical revolutions. He also shed light on the role of the American youths, particularly through social media in regard with electing Obama as president.
The CG hailed the role of Pakistani youngsters and urged them to come forward, take advantage of their abundance and bring a positive change in their society as well as entire world through education and entrepreneurship.
The CG advised youths to learn skills and connect each other. He was of the view that youths could do a lot through education and entrepreneurship. He further said that the US government had a sincere interest in supporting programmes that invested in Pakistani youth’s future.
He announced that the US government had decided to double the scholarship named ‘Fulbright Scholarship,’ for Pakistani people in the US. He further said that bout 8,000 Pakistanis had participated in fully funded academic or professional development programmes in the US and at the time, 5,000 Pakistanis were enrolled in the US funded English languages programmes in Pakistan.
He also said that there were a large number of misinterpretations about Pakistan and Pakistani people in the US, while there were also several misinterpretations about the US among Pakistanis. He said that such misunderstandings could be mitigated through people to people interact.
He also appreciated the efforts of volunteers who were managing the ceremony and congratulated the organisers.
A long time Christian friend of mine wanted to visit here last year and see the Grand Canyon. The person is an MBA and works at a bank. Unfortunately, the person is Russian and white. So of course,,,was denied a tourist visa.
Meanwhile these ba$tards decide to DOUBLE the number of terrorists we let in from Pakistan. And they wonder why people are getting angry. “NO”vember 2012 can’t come fast enough.
Winning farts and rinds.
The Pakistanis undoubtedly harbored 0samabama bin Laden for a decade.
So of course 0bambi will invite twice as many to come to America!
What could possibly go wrong?
Fulbright’s Terror SupporterBy: Olivier Guitta and Ilan Weinglass

A Moroccan Islamist and apparent terrorism supporter has been getting treatment in Washington D.C. that most graduate students can only dream of. Mustafa Khalfi, editor-in-chief of the Moroccan newspaper At-Tajdid (Renewal), is the recipient of a prestigious Fulbright/American Political Science Association (APSA) Congressional Fellowship. This honor has afforded him the honor of working for Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA), taking a course at Johns Hopkins University, and receiving a visiting scholarship at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
At-Tajdid’s connection to terrorism:
At-Tajdid’s website has a permanent link to the Union of Good, an umbrella organization of Hamas-funding charities. Five of these organizations have been listed by the U.S. Treasury Department as Specially Designated Global Terrorist entities (SDGTs):
•The Al-Aqsa Foundation, Belgium and Holland Branches
•Interpal
•Comité de Benfaisance et de Secours aux Palestiniens (CBSP)
•Sanabil al-Aqsa
•The Palestinian Relief Society, Switzerland
In addition, two more groups, The World Association of Muslim Youth (WAMY), and the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO), have been accused in a lawsuit filed by families of the 9/11 victims[1] of being “connected to Osama bin Laden and two of his top operatives.”

This POS POTUS keeps poking a stick in the eye of the US. Sooner of later it will backfire!
Cap the spending and cut the program.

Now we have to hope that the new crew, if we have one, will change Bambi’s policies toward Islam. So far, I have not seen any indication that they will.
The kneepads are still on.
That gif is funny,,, but clearly it is faked. Look how slowly he is throwing that cash away. If it was real it would look like a monster sized snowblower. Like a giant one in a ski area.
Of course,,,you are 100% correct. Im looking for someone who sees Islam as the enemy. Maybe someone who gets alony REALLY well with Netanyahu and our friends in India.
He told me it was real.
I guess he was lying again!
McDermott, the Marxist slug, is now dabbling in Islam. And who says the American Left has not made common cause with Islamist extremists.
