“I think the world is better off with Western educated Saudis than it is with madrassa educated Saudis.”

Bin Laden was educated in the West.

I mostly agree with you, but flight schools should be off limits ...

I’ll stand with Canada on this one, screw Saudi Jihadland.

When is US and Europe going speak up on Saudi human rights abuses all the way up to executions for political dissent and not bowing to their allah-satan-god?

A lot have made noise about Russian influence in recent years but I think the bigger problem is Saudi influence with their $$$$ over the Western world.

Justin is looking at the next election now and has to find a way to win.

Don’t know if he’s onto something here but I have no objection to what he’s doing.

I don’t get it why Saudi Arabia’s priorities have become so important to the Western nations since 9/11 considering 15 of the 19 terrorists were Saudi citizens and the terrorists were incubated in Saudi Arabia by Wahabbist Islam.

The Saudi proxy war in Syria is ending with the Saudis losers after the Hillary’s and McCain’s wanted the Saudi side to win.

Hooray.

Please send them back to Saudi Barbaria. Saudi students in the US murdered 3,000 Americans not so long ago.

I’m guessing Baby Doc Trudeau is really mad at his former Saudi Arabia ambassador. Maybe the next one will go there wearing the local attire ala Baby Doc in India.

Iran?- the Canadian trade minister Chrystia Freeland announced on 5 February 2016 that they will lift economic sanctions against Iran, which will allow Canadian companies to do business”

Didn’t they also continue trade with North Vietnam?

“The Saudi students will be moved immediately to study programs in other countries with similar education systems, such as Britain or the United States, the Saudi official said.”

I vote Britain.

Yes the Saudi’s are our enemy, the enemy of Christ and or freedom an security.

Trudeau is a leftist moron but he is right about the Saudi’s on this. Where is Trump’s and European leaders commendation of Saudi terror and terror funding and spread of jihad teaching in West and human rights abuses? Trump spoke strongly against Saudi’s during campaign but is not now...are we to bow to their oil and their allah-demon now?

Exposure to western culture/ideas didn’t do too much for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayyid_Qutb who spent a bit of time in Greeley CO.

My daughter says that “Saudi student” is an oxymoron.

She had to tutor them in English when she was in college. Says they were virtually un-teachable. Emotionally arrested at age 13, money pouring out their ears, all focus was on parties, drinking, drugs and sex.

When the oil runs out they’re in deep trouble, as their population is utterly incapable of making it in the real world.
