- No matter what the
Islamists' current status or situation, they would lash out at
the US, the West and Americans. Meanwhile, American taxpayers
were providing hundreds of thousands of dollars to them in
scholarships, free accommodation, and often even a monthly
stipend. By comparison, many American students struggle to pay
their own tuition and housing; many graduate with debt.
- Some believed that the
US was simply supposed to do these favors for them for
free of charge. Others argued that this was an opportunity to
take advantage of America, and should be done for the sake of
furthering Islamic political and religious views.
- The US has been
funding the lives of these extremists as they endanger our
country and the lives of all Americans, and spread hatred
towards America, Christianity, Judaism and the West. Is this how
American taxpayers want their hard-earned contributions to be
used?

When I first arrived in America, I would ask every
extremist and fundamentalist Muslim I met: "How has your life
been since you came to the United States?"
It was clear that their living standards were much
better than back home. I knew well the lands they had come from,
their economic standards and restrictions, their lifestyle, the
social, and the religious, economic and political landscapes of the
region.
They were surely about to say how much their lives had
improved, and how grateful they were to be in a new, less restricted
environment. Instead, they expressed anger and even hatred of their
new country and its culture. What they could not put into words, was
clearly written across their faces: revulsion and disgust.
