To imagine that down the road these people will be the next imams, the next sheiks

Do they elect sheiks?

Probably no degrees in Womens’ Studies or Gay Issues.

“”Jamye Ford graduated with degrees in neuroscience and history from Columbia University”””


What about this double degree that sounds suspicious? It is usually the smart folks that get a degree in brain surgery and the dummies who get a degree in history.

But then, this is Columbia University and our President Obama got his degree in something with unknown grades.

Even if I happen upon a nice, friendly scorpion, that won’t change my attitude about scorpions.

Isn’t Zaytuna the name of Obama’s homeless illegal alien aunt?

No, that’s Zeituni. I thought the same at first. Could be words from the same root, however.

I questioned that myself. What is an undergrad degree in neuroscience anyhow? Paired with history? It doesn't sound very serious, does it? Is that one of those majors like "engineering technology" which is actually a non-engineering degree -- a major made up for students who could never finish an actual engineering degree, but who want to work in an engineering environment?

Or, maybe this isn't the same Columbia University that you and I think. Sort of like "Phoenix University".

People from all walks of life make mistakes, like converting to Islam. It’s a shame that plagues the world, ruins the world, but there seems to be no end to the number of people who mistake bad religion for spiritual truth.
