Why is he even allowed in this country short of staying at the gray bar inn?

What misconceptions might that be? That it really is a religion of peace?

Adorn the campus with wax-museum-quality chopped-off-heads on poles.

Why are co-conspirators unindicted?

I mean, when you raid a cathouse, you grab the piano-player, too.

Would those students be so “open minded” if Hitler wanted to give a speech here?

“.....Wahhaj is an African American convert to Islam....”

....ha!....another black guy who suddenly claims that he’s a Muslim...I have no confidence in black America when it comes to Muslim expansion in this country....they’ll side with Islam against us in a heartbeat...and Islam will welcome them as useful idiots...they are a growing 5th column in our midst....can you guess the ethnicity of the judge who overturned the OK anti-sharia amendment?

“These creeps tend to congregate in Florida...”

Lest we forget:

“Suicide hijackings more than 5 years in the making, sources report

Saudi connections might have eased entry to Florida flight schools”

“...In fact, some flight schools, including some of those attended by the hijackers, have exemptions that allow the schools to unilaterally issue paperwork that students can present at U.S. embassies and consulates so they can obtain visas with only perfunctory background checks, flight instructors said.

Chuck Clapper, who owns Lantana Air, an air charter company in Lantana, Fla., said that several Florida flight schools have contracts with Saudi Arabian Airlines, and that some have exemptions that allow them to send students paperwork that are then virtually rubber-stamped by officials who issue visas.

Asked if Arabs who seek to enter the United States to obtain flying instruction need to satisfy the State Department of their suitability, Clapper said: “Saudis don't. Iranians do. Libyans do. But the Saudis are allies; so they don't.”

A State Department spokesman declined to discuss the visas the hijackers obtained to attend flight schools in Florida, saying that it was confidential information and subject to a criminal investigation...”

Yeah, and the rules probably haven’t changed any since then.
