Keep your eyes open for this one!

Womens liberation, Islam style

Siddiqui, 31, lived in Boston before she disappeared, the FBI says. She holds a Ph.D. in neurological science and has studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brandeis University, and other institutions.

Do we really need these foreign nationals living and studying in this country? Especially now, how do these individuals help us as a sovereign state and why do we insist on continuing to educate them? Is this simply a matter of universities being financially tied to foreign students?

You'd think that as a Muslim WOMAN, Siddiqui would have an appreciation of the freedom women in America enjoy. No beatings for wearing nail polish in public, for instance.

31 is awfully young to hold a doctorate. I wonder WHEN she did her thesis, and whether she had help getting such a degree so young.

If she were as intelligent as necessary, and with the well-ordered, highly analytical mind absolutely essential to a scientist, she should be able to do a comparison of treatment of women in Wahhabi sects and treatment of women in Western cultures, based upon simple empirical evidence.

Affirmative action strikes again. Educate terrorists in our colleges, give them special privileges, turn away native-born white Americans, and have the terrorists pay us back in our own blood.

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, "Trust but deport."

The people with machine guns mounted to Toyotas, the three or four hardcores in black up at the bridge...they may all be al-Qaida.

They certainly had enough time to see this coming and put people into Iraq.

No. If she got her undergraduate degree at 21, she could have devoted 5-7 years to getting a doctorate in neuroscience and then put in a couple of years in a post-doc fellowship and still be less than 31. Obviously a very bright woman, though: speaking from personal experience I can tell you that graduate school in neuroscience is a very tough row to hoe.

"Obviously a very bright woman, though: speaking from personal experience I can tell you that graduate school in neuroscience is a very tough row to hoe."

Agreed, she must be very intelligent. It's a shame she prefers to use her brainpower to commit murder, rather than to help mankind. If she EARNED that degree, then she's lost a few nuts and bolts along the highway of life, because the comparison between the savage repression of women in Islamist cultures and the freedom and opportunity afforded to women in the West is unmistakable even for someone of average intelligence.

This woman is working to help rabid Wahhabists rule the world under Sharia law. The article doen't mention the genders of her three children, but she's destroying any chance of freedom for her female descendents. Highly illogical behavior for a person who could reasonably expected to have a highly logical mind.

"Especially now, how do these individuals help us as a sovereign state and why do we insist on continuing to educate them?"

Remember, now, our illustrious former Sec. State, Madelin Albright told us, when speaking about William the Bent's administration: "That's (speaking abut the sovereignty of the U.S.) not what we're about." And, more recently, she said: "We can't get along without the U.N."

We've just had 8 years of an administration who tried to destroy our nation's sovereignty.

Two more members of Al-Qaida here?

[Skywalk]

That's not who this post is referring to.

The woman in this thread is a Pakistani and is linked to AQ not Saddam Hussein.

[scannell]

I bet she is primarily motivated from strong Anti-American sentiments festered from radical liberal campus types RATHER than strong pro Radical Islamic beliefs.

OH SHEESH....Thank you for setting me straight. I started to skim the first few lines, read neuro sciences...and assumed it was the other one i'd recently read about. Saw the pic(looked kinda like the other one to me), read the replies, and opened my mouth (or should i say my keyboard) without putting my brain in gear. Next time i'll actually read. MY BAD! Thanks again.

I goofed. Please see reply #13. Sorry!

Check out these links.

MIT BS '94 in Biology and Anthropology/Archeology. Was awarded a grant in 1992 to study "Islamization in Pakistan and its Effects on Women". Evidently did work on the MIT Computer Help Desk in 1996.

Strange form of mental illness, this Islam!

[SeenTheLight]

Bookmarked, thanks.

[LPStar]

I wonder what her "Islamization" study ended up proving.

Who is this woman's husband? Where is she getting the money?
