San Bernardino Shooting Suspect on K1 Visa

And yet... they let this happen.

Who is they? The grand protectors of the sheep? The FBI? The Police?

I hope it doesn't affect the K1. I doubt it will, bit these are funny times. And if The Donald gets in next year all bets are off.

I think the USA would be better off electing Donald Duck!

You know exactly whom. Too many times it's been revealed that the government has persons like this on their radar and do exactly nothing about it.

Citizens can only do so much to protect themselves - sheep or no sheep.

Things like this is just unnatural. It's hard to think of what can influence someone to do this or any other ugly act.

I remember when I was a kid, there was so much shock nationwide when we found out that Susan Smith drove her two kids into a lake to kill them. Now, I can find articles about child homicide weekly, if not more frequently. Each more sicker than the next. My younger sister even knows someone that is arrested right now for (allegedly) killing her own four year old son.

Just demonic. Technology advances, but mankind does not.

The CO who granted the K-1 to the now-deceased then-fiancee might be undergoing some forcible career re-evalution right about now...

I think it is ridiculous for an entire religion to be demonized for the acts of a few. As a Christian I don't see anybody blaming me when a right wing nut shoots up planned parenthood. I see no freaking reason why all Muslims should automatically bear the brunt of a few terrorists. I am yet to see any Christian organization publicly apologize for any violent acts committed by its members. The visa waiver program should be changed. All those on the FBI's watchlist should not be able to buy guns. Every gun sale loophole should be blocked. Universal background checks should be introduced. We can NEVER stop every lone wolf attacks but we sure can make it a little difficult for things like these to keep happening on a regular basis . Prayers to the victims and their families.✌✌

My thoughts exactly.

Can you post a link to a CREDIBLE source please ?

I don't think it's millions, but the number is high - perhaps several hundred thousand.

This issue really affected me because during the course of our relationship, my husband and his family has been close to three of these terror attacks that killed dozens (in one case over 100) in his own land.

To SR's point, I partially agree. However, suppose I go to Afghanistan. How will people in general treat me there? My life would be in danger, but I would meet a lot of nice and caring people. I would also meet people that would be less than cordial because I am American. Many Afghans have been treated poorly by Americans or have heard bad stories. (Others have been treated well.)

What should be my proper reaction? I wouldn't feel right by saying that I had nothing to do with what happened and to not blame me. I feel like I should be more sensitive to their feelings and negative experiences. I would want to validate what happened to them or at least ignore any negative sentiments they may express towards me. I would want to avoid marginalizing how they feel, but still show respect for myself.

I do think these acts are based on more political reasons than religious reasons. I love that Our Constitution protects us from the potential of religious tyranny taking over our whole country.

I totally agree. And the one who granted the green card too.

[TBoneTX 45,591]

That would be USCIS.

Have u guys tried to find if the couple/terrorists were registered here in VJ?

We filed for AOS from the K-1 in April 2014 and finally got the conditional GC 14 months later in June 2015. The late Mr. and Mrs. Osama Bin Hidin' filed for AOS in September 2014 and received the conditional GC 10 months later in July 2015. So while we were running around collecting affidavits and preparing for our interview, I guess they used their extra four months to build their collection of armaments as they prepared for jihad.

Nice work, DOS and USCIS. At least USCIS can note the file that Mrs. Osama Bin Hidin' won't be seeking to remove conditions on her GC.

There are over 1 billion Muslims in the world today. It's been said that approx. 10 to 25% of them may be radicalized. The numbers of extremists that are in groups like ISIS, Al Qaeda etc is definitely in the millions.
