Innocent and posing with a gun in one of the pictures below. I find that to be a threatening gesture Not a gesture of a man who is peaceful and innocent. He was here on a a student.visa for a school in Ohio and lied to the official never telling them he transferred out. Now, first of all I am not allowed in his country for several reasons.
1. I am a Jew.
2 I am a Jew
3. I am a Jew.
Now if I was in Saudi Arabia and there was a bombing I would be picked up and tried on the fact I am a Jew. All Jews are guilty.

The 21-year-old Saudi student who was questioned by the FBI after the Boston Marathon bombing has spoken out for the first time after he was falsely branded a suspect in the attacks.
Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi, who came to Boston to study English, was standing near the finish line of the race on April 15 and was injured after twin blasts exploded in the crowd.
He was questioned by police in the hospital and though his name has been cleared, he says he is still receiving death threats and fears for his safety.
Accused: Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi was standing near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15 and was injured after twin blasts exploded in the crowd
Exchange student: The 21-year-old came to Cambridge, Mass to study at The New England School of English
The Middle Eastern man, who came to the U.S. to study at The New England School of English, was among the crowd in downtown Boston when two pressure cooker bombs exploded at around 2:50pm.
Three people were killed in the blast and over 260 were injured.
The explosions left a bloody aftermath and terrified racers and spectators sprinted from the scene.
Alharbi joined the rush fleeing the area and he soon realized he was bleeding and had been injured in the attack.
Emergency personal helped him and three police officers rode with him in an ambulance to the hospital, he told The Islamic Monthly magazine.

Recovering: Saudi diplomat Azzam bin Abdel Karim (far right) visited Abdulrahman Ali Alharbi in the hospital in Boston. The Saudi embassy helped cover his hotel and food because he feared returning to his home
When he arrived at the emergency room at Brigham and Women's Hospital, as nurses tried to stop the bleeding, officers surrounded him and began asking him his name, address, nationality and even the password to his Facebook account.
'It was really scary. They were writing everything. I was trying to help them. I gave them everything I can,' he said.
He says a group of 20 FBI agents and police officers were in his hospital room, interrogating and asking him questions.
News that law enforcement were questioning a patient leaked to the media and it was reported that officials may have identified a suspect.
'I don’t know from where did they get all these lies' he told the magazine.
During the interrogation, Alharbi was not allowed to make any phone calls and was not informed of his right to legal counsel.
His father, in Saudi Arabia, learned his son was injured and being questioned by officers via Twitter.
The officers remained in his hospital room as he continued to receive treatment.
Deadly: The Middle Eastern man, who came to the U.S. to study at The New England School of English, was among the crowd in Boston when two pressure cooker bombs exploded at around 2:50pm on April 15
The day after the attack, the FBI clarified that the student was not a suspect, however the agency held onto Alharbi's personal belongings, including his wallet and ID.
Photos even showed that the Saudi student was among the victims of the attack who received a visit from First Lady Michelle Obama on April 18, when she traveled to Boston with her husband to attend a prayer service.
The Saudi embassy arranged to pay for a hotel room for the student, where he remained for days because he began receiving death threats and did not feel safe returning to his house.
Days after the ordeal, the Saudi student took to Facebook to allay the fears of his concerned friends and family about his well being.
'Friends, teachers, I just wanna let you know that I am fine, and thanks for everyone who asked about my health.'
He told the magazine that he understands officials paid attention to him, 'You are protecting your country but why did you show to the media that I am a suspect?'
Suspects: Police believe Tsarnaev brothers Tamerlan, left and Dzhokhar, right, were responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings. Tamerlan was shot by police on April 19 and Dzhokhar has been charged with the crimes
He also shared a link to a blog post, written on April 18 by Sharon Nambudripad Schiffer, one of his teachers at the school, about the ordeal.
She describes how investigators searched his apartment and came to the school to speak with his schoolmates, 'for FIVE HOURS. Unbelievable. The epitome of profiling.'
'The press even showed up at the school...The U.S. media has really done a good job of convincing much of the American public that all people from a particular region are violent. This is so sickening, and I am in absolutely shock about how to deconstruct how ridiculous this concept is,' she wrote.
On the evening of April 18, the FBI announced that it had identified brothers Tamerlan, 26, and Dzhokhar, 19, Tsarnaev from surveillance video as the chief suspects in the attack.
Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police in the early hours on April 19 and his younger brother was apprehended late on April 19 after a massive manhunt.
Dzhokhar has been charged with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death; malicious destruction of property resulting in death.
Before officials announced they had suspects in the case, the New York Post published a front page story that showed surveillance photo of a Moroccan teen standing in the marathon crowd before the bomb, under the headline 'BAG MEN: Feds seek these two pictured at Boston Marathon.'
Salah Barhoum, the 17-year-old track athlete in the photo, now says he has trouble sleeping and his parents are considering a lawsuit against the paper.
