#3  I second the motion vigorously, Old Patriot. Isn't there some way we could send back a few dozen MSM collaborators in her place? It's about time they had a chance to enjoy the utopic splendors of the terrorist dens they are so prone to extoll. Mai has already shown more courage than most of them will ever summon forth in a lifetime.

#2  When she gets here, she needs to ask for political asylum. Going back to Pakistan after coming to the US would be tragic - for her. I'm sure some idiot will decide that she needs to be killed to regain someone's "honor" - backward bunch of clothes-apes.

#1  Cool - Its about time she got some recogition. She has more guts that most democrats (and a good number of republicans too...)

Unfortunately the MSM will ignore her in favor of Mother Cindy Shitian....
