| [TIME] A college student who was killed in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... on Friday after halting a jacket wallah who had attempted to enter a packed mosque is being remembered as a hero. Abduljaleel Alarbash, an undergraduate who was studying electrical engineering at Wichita State University, and his cousin were working security at the mosque in the port city of Dammam, roles for which they volunteered after a recent mosque attack, The Wichita Eagle reports. Alarbash became alarmed when someone dressed in all black attempted to go inside--women had been told to remain at home due to safety. The bomber was reported to have blown himself up, in an attack claimed by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), after Alarbash tried to turn him in. "They saved a lot of lives," Yagoob "Jacob" Alsarouj, a close friend of Alarbash and recent graduate of WSU, said. "What he did was a selfless act ... that's something really to be proud of." Abduljaleel, 22, had returned to Saudi Arabia to get married and was due back to school in the fall, according to a professor who taught him in the spring. "I am not surprised that Abduljaleel did what he had to do to save the lives of all those people by giving up his own so readily," said Preethika Kumar, one of Alarbash's professors, in a statement. "In my faith, when someone is able to love God so deeply to the extent of putting their neighbor before themselves always, even to the point of laying their life down, he or she is a saint." |
