What the Refugees Need

As a Christian nation, we should base our treatment of those who wish to flee Syria on Jesus's command to love others as we love ourselves.

That does not mean that we owe every Syrian welfare for life in the U.S.

The first critical point is to realize that not all "refugees" are equal. Christians, and other religious minorities, who face death on sight are on par with Jews fleeing Nazi Germany and we are obligated to help them.

Similarly women, children, and the elderly or infirm need to be helped.

But Muslim men of military age who have decided that they don’t want to risk their lives to solve the problems of their own country have no real claim to anything other than short-term help to avoid being slaughtered. After all, who would have sympathy for Northerners who demanded that England take care of them because they didn't want to fight against slavery in the American Civil War?

If a country has a problem, be it slavery or ISIS, the people who bear responsibility for solving that problem are the people of that country. Other countries should follow, to the extent they can, the example of the Good Samaritan and provide help but that does not mean that we must assume all responsibility for problems caused by Syrians in Syria.

The second critical point is that there's no reason to assume that the Syrian problem will never be fixed; that Syria will never be safe again. While things looked bleak in 1940 the Nazi rule of Europe came crashing down just a few years later.

Obama's desire to permanently resettle the "refugees" is surrender to ISIS in that Obama is saying that Syria will never be safe, that the West will never win the war on terror in Syria.

RE: Good points, I guess we add an IQ test:)

The only problem with that is gangsters and crony capitalists from overseas tend to have higher IQ’s
