I have never seen such a large group of xenophobic people in all my life.

Besides, to quote Sir Winston Churchill: "Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result."

Yes, you're correct. He was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Yemen

Yemen attack kills guard, injures 13 girls - Mideast/N. Africa

The gunman, armed with a Kalashnikov rifle, claimed he wanted to kill Americans.

SAFETY AND SECURITY: The Department of State is concerned that al-Qa‘ida and its affiliates are actively engaged in extremist-related activities in Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula. The Department remains concerned about possible attacks by extremist individuals or groups against U.S. citizens, facilities, businesses and perceived interests.

Make up your mind. Why not just say. "Yes, I was wrong"? Because no one cares about his where his family is from.

I wonder how many folks were gunned down in the good ole US of A today... or yesterday... or will be tomorrow? (reference all the fear mongering of Yemen).

What a xenophobic bunch here at APC, sure Yemen might not be good for everybody, but how many people woke up dead in Detroit today? or LA, or Chicago, etc. There is a lot of violence in the US.

If you don't feel like working in Yemen then simply state that, but stop the xenophobic nonsense here

A good friend of mine went to work for that company and he was gone within six months, not because he was afraid of the violence but because he was plain lied to. There are many horror stories about this contract, enter at your own risk (to the company, not Yemen)

The history of the Wahabbis, Saudi, and Bin Laden is way too complicated for you to even comment on or comprehend, especially if you're afraid of taking a job in a country because a terrorist's extended family members live there.

So are you afraid of taking a job in Oklahoma? I hear Timothy McVeigh's family still lives there. Are you afraid of living in Long Island? There were a few of Hitler's cousins living there until they passed away recently...must be full of Nazi's in that neighborhood!!!
