Not an official, but I wouldn't mind answering
1) Do so-called terrorists have criminal records? Did Bin Laden have one? Did Zarqawi have one? How many terrorists have ever committed a crime?
Yes, AFAIK, most have records. I'm sure Zarqawi has one in Egypt.
Why do you assume this is about terrorists?
2) Is this helping or making it worse? How many terrorists have you caught or deterred? How pissed off do you think are the people who are subjected to this humiliating decree who have to submit another document to this woeffully inefficient bureaucratic system, shaving off another few days of time?
Why do you assume this is about terrorists?
If you're not afraid of anything, just get the required document. If you were asked to present this document in the US or UK, you would just comply to the rules.
3) If someone DOES have a criminal past, how does that disqualify him or her from their current job, especially if they have been doing well?
Yes, we don't want criminals here.
And what type of criminal record would an ARAB have?
I don't know, every criminal is different, be he Arab or otherwise.
Because you know all the Arabs are embezzling, murdering, raping and committing general debauchery!
Nobody said that, you're the only one saying it.
4) How much money did the Americans pay you to import racism into the one place where it shouldn't exist?
You got it wrong, we're paying them. :)
Do you really think that this is a conspiracy???
