Okay, I get it now. Gematria, it's called in Hebrew. Hebrew traditionally uses letters as numbers instead of Arabic numerals, so this kind of game is easy to play in Hebrew. BTW, that means point 3 is wrong, and point 5 is too - the numerical value of the Hebrew word for one, "ekhad", is 13.

Taheri and the Yale Talib--I suppose the idea is to expose these guys to cheese burgers, bikinis, rock 'n roll, apple pie, and beer. The problem is that they are also exposed to the intellectual flatulence of an American liberal arts university. Their previous indoctrination is much stronger than anything we can provide except at The Citadel, and they are not going there. I'm afraid educating future Muslim leaders here could be a double-edged sword since a typical campus will reinforce their ideas concerning the corruption of American culture.
