The Taliban supported Al Quaeda and provided them with a basecamp. They supported the terror group and worked in tandem with them as well on many occasions. Additionally, during their rule the Taliban terrorized and brutalized an entire nation. After their ousting, the Taliban took up terrorism as well.
Even you acknowledge some implicit guilt in being a member of the Taliban as you bring up the Nazi analogy.
Sadly that analogy is beyond foolish. 1) Nazi rocket scientists worked on developing missile and atom bomb technology in a vital race if you want to justify it and 2) the fact that we have done something in the past, does not justify it in the future - it's like the Nazis saying that they can commit genocide again because it was acceptable back then. You can't even begin to justify this (using point 1) because there is no life and death struggle that this terrorist is involved in; he is taking non-degree courses at Yale.
Additionally his being in the country is separate from being at Yale. Yale is not the USA. You can be in America and not be in Yale. I believe I said the same thing 3 times, in 3 different ways, just to make sure the point got across. Any anger with the State Department is separate. Immigration officials have let in terrorists in the past, accidentally or whatnot as well.
Furthermore, given the private status of Yale the parents have every right to publicize this given their daughter's enrollment at Yale as well as a desire to bring about change by "Spreading the news." Schools in the Ivy+, like Yale, get their pick of students and this really is not something to brag about aside from upsetting many students and their families.
So really is it worth it labeling others as "Ignorant" and throwing around words like "Xenophobia" when really you haven't thought this through, your statements make no sense, and you have no concept of xenophobia given your isolation in Tennessee? I would think not, but I'm sure your response, should there be one, will make no sense either.

like, OMG - great response!
couple of quick points though -
i get what you're saying about the relationship between the taliban and al quaeda and i won't argue with you on their "badness" - but suggesting that ALL taliban members are card carrying members of al quaeda is like suggesting that all baptists are also members of the westboro baptist church or that all republicans are completely aware and supportive of bush - i can say that three ways if need be
i wasn't the one who brought up missile and atom bomb technology in regards to nazis - you just did. my reference to nazis was in regards to them leading their own country following the rebuilding after WWII.
i agree that any anger with the state department is separate -that was, in fact, my point. don't get angry at yale for letting the guy who is here legally take classes
i'm really not sure where the publicizing the info fits into any of my previous posts, so oh well...
as for labeling others - check what i posted because i did not label anybody, just the arguments - you on the other didn't seem to have a problem resorting to that tactic
and it is interesting that you think people in tennessee have no concept of xenophobia given the "isolation" - is there some kind of "coastal" requirement that i'm not privy to or what?
that comment makes no sense.
