I was confused by your post at first. i understood your first line “Comparing refugees that aren’t known killers with refugees that are known killers is wrong!” As supporting the refugees since after all we shouldnt compare most of those refugees who “aren’t known killers” with the few that are.
“being Jewish wasn’t associated with being in the mafia today being Muslim is being associated with being a terrorist”
Of course it was. People in the 30’s didnt (always) say we are a bunch of xenophobes and antisemites and dont want to take Jews even children on our shores. They had all sorts of excuses including mafia, communism, nazi spies etc etc.
Bottom line Here is the OU stament again:
“”The heinous attacks in Paris this week demonstrate that ISIS, and other similar militant Islamic terrorist groups, have both the desire and means to strike terror in the capitals of the Western world. Clearly, this must impact the manner in which the United States considers the acceptance of refugees from Syria and other war-torn countries in the Middle East. While most of those refugees are innocent bystanders whose lives have been wrecked by ISIS and similar groups, security concerns are real and serious. We cannot be naive in our assessment of the determination of terrorists to exploit the refugee crisis. And we should limit immigration to those individuals who share our American ideals and aspirations.
does anybody here disagree with it? whihc part?
