Why Syrians cannot simply Go Home

People would have to be incredibly dense to not understand how much ISIS is counting on the response of these southern states. It plays perfectly to their narrative and further validates their claims to those on the fence back in the middle east. Europe seems to get this but maybe that is because they understand the situation a little bit better. Most European countries are already living with many large population groups of Muslims and it has been normal for years.

And they are regretting it. Further it is a total of 32 states not all southern states.

Poll was taken last summer, so presumably it has changed, but here it is:

All have Republican governors, correct?

How interesting.

Poland's government wants to equip the young male refugees from Syria into an army and send them back to Syria to fight.

"They can go to fight to liberate their country with our help," said Witold Waszczykowski, Poland's new foreign minister, who was set to take office on Monday.

"Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have come to Europe recently. We can help them form an army," he said on public television over the weekend. "Tens of thousands of young men disembark from their rubber dinghies with iPad in hand and instead of asking for drink or food, they ask where they can charge their cellphones."

Waszczykowski's colleague, the country's incoming European Affairs Minister Konrad Szymanski, has already said E.U. plans to distribute refugees across the continent were not a "political possibility."

That is interesting logic. Since they are one of the countries more skewed against the refugees they are also probably fearing ISIS infiltration. So the thought of arming them and training them and sending them right back to ISIS seems counterintuitive.

In WWII, 200K Polish refugees were armed by and fought alongside the Allies.

Maybe that's where they got their idea.

That is not smart. Nothing like arming your enemy in your own land and then waiting for them to kill you. The "refugees" cannot be vetted. We do not know who is a terrorist and who is not outside of babies and small children.

I am really sorry about the situation in Syria. I sometimes cry when I see how young children die. Families have been displaced and many live as refugees abroad. The world has failed to stop this from happening. We have to pray for them and welcome them whenever they need our support. But terrorism has made us view the situation differently, terrorists are now within genuine refugees. Hope God will help our world.
