Shunning refugees is no answer to terror
CNN ^ | November 16, 2015 | By Karen Jacobsen

It now seems possible that at least one of the terrorists in the Paris attack on Friday entered the European Union hidden among the wave of refugees arriving on European shores.

Even if this turns out not be so, the fear that terrorists are hiding amongst refugees will increase and will be used by anti-immigrant politicians.

That refugee or migrant movements might include terrorists has always been a threat and a worry to countries of immigration. It is part of the risk of welcoming strangers, just as we all take calculated risks when we allow people we don't know well into our homes.

You won’t see many Christian refugees until the US
makes it policy to only accept arab Christians.
Then they’ll all be Christians, for a while.

” ... the fear that terrorists are hiding amongst refugees will increase and will be used by anti-immigrant politicians.”

Note that the writer is mixing three different terms: immigrant and refugee, with migrant implied.
I’m not sure that she does this on purpose, but we are very familiar with our own scribes trying over-and-over to pass off illegal aliens as “undocumented immigrants” and amnesty as “path to citizenship” or “comprehensive immigration reform”, etc.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/what-difference-between-migrant-refugee-asylum-seeker-1518342
“In the ongoing migration crisis, the words migrant, refugee and asylum seeker have been used interchangeably. There are, however, vast differences in their meanings – which not only carry different implications for data and research, but also legal obligations. Substituting one word for another can conflate issues of migration, race and asylum with dire consequences – so what are their definitions?”

I'm convinced the leftists, including the POTUS and SOS, know exactly what the ISIS wolf in refugee's clothing are up to, what their intentions are and what they willl do. They're probably being paid to allow it and very handsomely too.

Stunning refugees is no answer to terror.

Well of course not.

You have to shoot them in the head like zombies.

It’s not “shunning” you dumb s***, it’s “self-preservation” ... ours.

Then you...at least take in the elderly, crippled, women an orphaned young children.

Very few are of that description .You make a very telling point here. The overwhelming number of young able bodied males surely should indicate something else is afoot. I have seen videos on a Canadian web site (SDA) of these men shouting in Arabic. The translations were of absolute contempt for western society. They claimed the west is "sterile" and they will re-populate it.

How different are they from the 1950's when I came to Canada from England. There were real refugees who were very eager to fit in and enjoy freedom. They had the name of "displaced persons". Not always welcomed but they mostly integrated well.

SHUNNING REFUGEES IS MOST CERTAINLY A WAY TO STOP TERRORISM IN THE USA.

Say your a moslum. You come to America. You don’t speak the language. You don’t eat the food. The Americans eat pork with and in everything. As a Syria you have been taught that the Americans were the enemy. They don’t even use the metric system. The are not moslums but evil sick Christians whose women walk around half naked and kill their babies before they are born at a rate of 1000 a day!!!! Their men marry other men!!!! Men have sex with men and women with women. Homosexuals actually adopt children.

BUT WORST OF ALL THE AMERICANS WANT TO TEACH YOUR BEAUTIFUL SONS AND DAUGHTERS THAT THEY TOO MUST CONSIDER HOMOSEXUALILTY AND ABORTION AS TOTALLY NORMAL!!!!!! TEACHING THAT TO YOUR CHILDREN. ....AND THEY SAY THAT CHRISTIANITY OR JUDISM OR BUDDISM ARE ON PAR WITH ISLAM!!!!

All that does is build ten thousand America hating moslums.

If they were Christian refugees, or spoke English it would be an easier transition but as it is....we are just taking these moslums to another hell....on which their local mosque will assure them will be destroyed with the help of Allah.

Let the refugees go to Saudi.

Why is it that to liberals the comfort and well being of every low-life, scumbag, moocher, criminal, terrorist
and murderer is more important than the safety and well being of hard working, law abiding patriotic Americans?

Shunning murderers is no solution.
Shunning rapists is no solution.
Shunning genocidists is no solution
Shunning madmen is no solution.
Shunning people who mess in their pants is no solution.

Any other nonsense you want to hear?

All our problems are impossible to solve. The political class says so. Best to surrender now, I suppose.

Since the 1950’s in Chairman’s Mao laqndmark work the link between an Irregular Warfar Fighter and the general population has been well established.

It is the support rendered by the general population that hides, protects, feeds, provides actionable intelligence and provide new fighters. Without the support of the general population the irregular war fighter would have a much larger footprint and field smaller forces. The two of these taken together greatly reduces his combat capabilities.

Additionally, the Koran specifically tells the general Muslim population it is their duty to aid and assist all jihadists fighters in everyway possible.

What to establish new jihadist terrorist cells - import more “moderate” Muslim refugees.

We shouldn’t shun them. We should ship them back to the Middle East.
