My husband had a conversation with a Muslim from Saudi Arabia last week. Pre 9/11 the Saudis sent 19,000 students to attend college here and post it is now 90,000. The reason is they have opened up more scholarships to get these Muslims students here to have a better understanding of American culture and we of them. They want to promote peace and understanding between the two cultures.

One can only hope this works....I remain a skeptic

Wonderful! I already understand though, that women have virtually no rights and that their laws favor beheading. Understanding their culture should make a lot of us less judgemental about this, I'm sure.

P.S. Anyone know where they plan to stay after these great "learning" experiences?
