Not surprising!
The Zionist-promoted xenophobia and lies take root with most 'Murkn shit-eaters; however, what is with these other countries taking in and harboring Saudi terrorists?
"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime." -- George W. Bush, September 20, 2001

If you wanna play that patsy line, I mean.
And the Saudis ARE FUNDING SUNNI EXTREMIST TERRORISTS because THEY HAVE the DOUGH!
"Strictures in US lead many Arabs to study elsewhere; Students now find Australia more welcoming" by Ellen Knickmeyer, Washington Post | December 23, 2007
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - For Nabil Al Yousuf, a senior aide to the ruler of the Persian Gulf state of Dubai, the indignities of arriving in the United States since 2001 have become routine, but remain galling.
A US airport immigration official typically takes Yousuf's passport, places it in a yellow envelope, and beckons. Yousuf tells his oldest son and other family members not to worry. And Yousuf - who goes by "Your Excellency" at home - disappears inside a shabby back room.
He waits alongside the likes of "a man who had forged his visa and a woman who had drugs in her tummy," he recounted. He is questioned, fingerprinted, and photographed.
So when it came time this year for the oldest son to choose a university, there was one choice that seemed right to Yousuf, a fond alumnus of universities in Arizona and Georgia. It was Australia.
"Australia's more welcoming," said Yousuf, the director general of the Dubai government's executive office and the executive director of the Dubai School of Government. He spoke in his glass-walled corner office high over the thrusting metallic skyline of the port city of Dubai, one of seven emirates that forms the United Arab Emirates.
"When I was there, the US used to be a welcoming place. We never felt we were foreigners," Yousuf said, cupping prayer beads in one hand and displaying his University of Arizona mug, discolored with age, in the other. In the United States, "you just don't feel part of society anymore."
The Yousuf family is not alone. A generation of Arab men who once attended college in the United States, and returned home to become leaders in the Middle East, increasingly is sending the next generation to schools elsewhere. This year, Australia overtook the United States as the top choice of citizens of the United Arab Emirates heading abroad for college, according to government figures in Dubai.
Ten percent fewer students in the Emirates elected to go to the United States in 2006 than in 2005, according to the New York-based Institute of International Education. In neighboring Oman, the drop was 25 percent. Jordan, Kuwait, and Lebanon recorded single-digit falls, continuing a trend begun amid the crackdowns on visas and security that followed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The drop isn't across the board. Iran sent more students to Australia and the United States. So did some Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, which is dispatching thousands more students abroad under a scholarship program.
In Australia, the number of Arab and Iranian students has climbed from 2,580 in 2002 to 7,122 in 2006, according to Australia's Education Department.
For Australia, the numbers are the product of campaigns aggressively seeking the post-9/11 Arab and Muslim market, from tourism to higher education. The campaigns appeal to Arabs who once might have picked Disneyland vacations for their families and US universities for their teenagers, but worry now about affronts at US airports and visa problems interrupting educations.
Australia offers something different, Yousuf said: a smile at immigration counters.
Theme parks and universities in Australia have installed prayer rooms, and restaurants offer food certified as halal, prepared in accord with Islamic dietary law.
Tourism from Middle Eastern and North African countries rose by 20 percent this year, Australia's tourism board said.
"The opportunity to have a photo with a koala is very, very powerful for the Middle Eastern market," Shelley Winkel, a spokeswoman for the Dreamworld theme park on Australia's Gold Coast, said by telephone.
Australian trade offices court Arab students with semiannual college fairs. Australian tourism boards routinely include a section for the Muslim holidaymaker in their guides. Schools hand new students from the Muslim world booklets pointing out local mosques.
Yousuf's 18-year-old son, Mohammed, chose the University of Queensland, chiefly because a couple of his friends also had selected it. But he noticed that university officials went out of their way to make Muslims feel comfortable - serving halal food at a luncheon for prospective students and pointing out the halal barbecue chicken chain off campus.
"I felt it was nice and I'd adapt there very quickly," Mohammed Yousuf said recently while home on semester break.
The United States counts higher education as one of its top five service exports. More than 500,000 foreign students studied at US universities last year, pouring $14.5 billion into the US economy, according to the Institute of International Education.
Less concrete than financial losses caused by Gulf students who have gone elsewhere, but potentially more important, is the fraying of a bond between the United States and the Arab world, Gulf officials said.
"Our generation, all of us went to school in the States," Yousuf said. King Abdullah II of Jordan and Prince Turki al-Faisal of Saudi Arabia are among leading figures in the Arab world who were educated in the United States. Both went to American prep schools and Georgetown University."
Of course, if the whole "War on Terror" is the FRAUD it is, this all makes perfect sense!
The U.S FUNDED, PROTECTED, CODDLED and SHEPHERDED their patsies the whole way along the road to 9/11!!!!!
