Faisal Shahzad earned MBA from Moonie-run university
seriesly!

Officials at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut say the man suspected of parking a car bomb in Times Square earned computer and business degrees there.

School officials say Faisal Shahzad (FY'-sul shah-ZAHD') graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer applications and information systems in 2000 and later returned to earn a master's of business administration in 2005.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Bridgeport

University of Bridgeport is an independent, non-sectarian university located on Long Island Sound in the South Bridgeport section of Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA. The school is the tenth-most racially diverse university in the country.

The university had financial troubles in the 1990s and was the subject of controversy when the trustees were obligated to enter into serious negotiations with and subsequently gave control of the institution to the Professors World Peace Academy (PWPA), an affiliate of Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church in order to save it from closure. Since then, in an effort to boost enrollment numbers, the University of Bridgeport has attempted to recruit more international students.


:wow:

(P.S. Growing up in Bridgeport, I never heard the area called anything but the "South End".)

2. has this even been mentioned by M$M? The news networks generally avoid mentioning anything
related to Moon. Maybe because he has owned many of the studios in and around the DC area.

5. Some of them mention UB, but not the Moonie connection
Edited on Tue May-04-10 03:30 PM by KamaAina
that isn't widely known outside the Bridgeport area, where I happened to be living when the takeover occurred.

edit: They take great pains not to emphasize this, going so far as to describe themselves as "a private, non-sectarian university"!

7. That's the problem...news reporters rarely report links to Moon...even on a huge 'terra' story
like this one is supposed to be, eh?

11. I grew up in Connecticut and I will say this is by far the worst school in the state if not all of
New England. It is very tied to the Moonies, got a lot of money from them and have had those types within their administration and faculty. In 1993/94 when I was looking at schools I was told NOT to look at this school. The Moonie takeover had just begun in `992. However, a lot of poorer kids in that area of CT do attend community colleges AND that school and they are not terrorists.

12. this guy probably isn't a real terrorist, either...it's apparent he wanted to get caught
and left a trail a blind man could follow. Gee...now we'll just HAVE to increase our military presence in Pakistan, won't we?

14. That doesn't mean he wanted to get caught
It just means he's dumb, like most criminals.
