“I noticed this morning that people again are agonizing on how to vet refugees.”

This is a conflict between two dramatically different approaches to life. One teaches ‘but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other cheek to him also.’, and ‘Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.’.

The other teaches “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out.”, and “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”, and “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

How do these coexist in the same place at the same time?

“This is a conflict between two dramatically different approaches to life.”

You must have never read citizenship laws written in the Old Testament by Moses.

Also, there is this — Numbers 33:55: “But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.”

God continuously indicted the Israelites for allowing in people who wanted to subvert their culture.

It is not wise to to try to take New Testament scripture which is all about a personal relationship with God and use it as a guide on how to deal with national enemies.

You really would not turn the other cheek to someone breaking into your house and subject your wife and kids to their tender mercies.
