Some were demanding information about Syrian refugees only. A rather limited subset of ISIS.

Actually, you have the cart before the house.

Some were making unfounded claims about Syrian refugees and others were asking them to substantiate those claims.

Show us something to back your claim that Syrian refugees are a "subset of ISIS."

I ask why they were not wanting information about the entire area where ISIS is in control or is fighting for control.


That wouldn't help to clarify your misrepresentation of Syrian refugees.

I can understand why you want to limit the discussion but the fact is the refugees come from all over that area, not just Syria. The refugees which might come to the US will come from all over that area, not just Syria. So your so called test of keeping the discussion about Syrian refugees is bogus from the start.

Yes, there are refugees from many lands but the vast majority of recent refugees in the Middle East are Syrian refugee families fleeing the death and destruction that has destroyed their homes and their livelihoods. Among the other refugees are many economic refugees looking for a better life. While these people may need support as well, the Syrian refugees are fleeing to save life and limb in great numbers. They deserve the help that wealthy nations can afford.

As Ban said, dead is dead, it makes no difference where the terrorists are from. They are coming in as refugees and are killing people. If one supports that then one is beyond hope.
I believe that none of the terrorists who perpetrated the recent attacks in Paris and Brussels was a refugee. They were French and Belgian citizens.

You know, we have to teach every refugee western standards. As for an example, it is not PC or legal to grab a woman's butt. These are barbaric people that need to stay in a barbaric environment.

Todays muslim refugee is tomorrow's terrorist.
I don't believe that such has been established.

Why, because they will never assimilate into western society thus will be a continuous thorn (or worse) in our sides.


In France and Belgium the populations of Middle Eastern descent have not been able to participate fully in those societies where their young people have very little in the way of economic opportunity. In North America those people have a much better chance of building a good future although some xenophobic citizens would like to make them a more marginalized part of the society.

Evidently, the refugees roam freely between Brussels and Syria.
Can you support this supposition?

I believe that you are conflating all people of Middle Eastern descent with refugees.

Are you suggesting that such a thing never happens to western women at the hands of western men?

It happens but western women are respected far more than the barbarians.

Help does not have to mean allowing people into the US since we know that allowing people into the country from that region brings death and destruction. Why are you so caviler about the lives of innocent people in the US?
