#1 14,100! That is unbelievable! If only 1% are involved in Islamofascism we've allowed 141 more Mohammed Atta's into our country. It's time to "close the door!"

#5 From Frankfurt hmmm? Not Hamburg?

Nothing to that; Frankfort is just the gateway city for most American airlines flying from here to there. You hop a Lufthansa flight or take the train from Hamburg, and then catch the big 747 to here.

#6 So people are being deported just on suspicion of having commited crimes. And of course every muslim is a suspect.

How cute.

#7 READ the article, Aris: Saudi consular official and Muslim leader All nations have the right to expel from their native soil the diplomats of other nations. No explanations or reasons are required or necessary. We'd catch a Soviet KGB agent/"diplomat" red handed and expel them. In reply, the Soviets would hurredly pick someone from our embassy in Moscow to expel on trumped up charges in order to make it look like we were spying on them too. Everyone knew it was BS, because they knew how intolerant of spies the USSR really was, so they'd wait and allow the spy to remain until one of theirs was caught? Yeah, riiiight.

#8 Aris Katsaris seems to have a problem with our deporting Saudi clerics known to have hung around with terrorists. Meanwhile, just about a year ago, the Greek government came close to imposing jail sentences on British plane spotters. Only the potential diplomatic damage caused these paranoid xenophobic morons to back off. Now that's what I call cute...

#9 Yes Ari, we're deporting people left and right, sometimes just because we don't like their hairstyle.

Meanwhile, between January 2000 and March 2003, that's just two months ago, more than 3.3 MILLION people immigrated to this horrific police state where all who aren't Christian or Jew are treated like chattel.

Yes, it's horrible here.

#10 Follow up on this story and you will find that a US State Department official denied that Al-Thumairy was deported because of any link to terrorist activities. The LA Times broke the story too soon. And so did you.
