This is a depressing consequence of media-fueled racism/discrimination that will further drive the disintegration of the US as a strong competitor in STEM fields on the global stage.

Don't be silly. Qatar won't overtake US. Neither will BRICS or Japan or Nigeria, etc. They lack innovative culture, disrespect for authority, etc. West Europe, the only real competitor, is almost forever bound to US.

For sure. If authorities treat Muslim people with such suspicion in the US, why would any talented Muslim engineers come over?

Doesn't send a positive message to US kids either, does it?
