There were those who said the US should have gone to war with Saudi Arabia after 9/11, since 15 of the 19 hijackers and murderers were Saudi Arabian. Well, apparently we did. This from Strategy Page:

Over 5,000 Saudi Islamic radicals are believed to have died in Iraq so far. For the last four years, up to half the suicide bombers have been Saudis, and about half the 135 foreigners currently held in U.S. military prisons over there, are Saudis. Currently, American intelligence believes about 45 percent of the foreign fighters (less than ten percent of all terrorists there) are Saudis. The next largest group is Syrians and Lebanese (15 percent), followed by North Africans (10 percent). The other 30 percent are from all over, including Europe.

5000 Saudi “soldiers” have been killed by the US in Iraq since 9-11 an the start of the Iraq War. That’s a lot of men. How many were students before becoming soldiers in a Jihad? How many Saudis have been given student or other visas to come to Europe and America during that same period?
