won’t take in Syrian refugees, why should the United States?  In recent
weeks, we have heard a whole lot from Barack Obama about our “moral
obligation” to take in refugees from Syria.  Well, if there is a “moral
obligation” to help these refugees, then why aren’t more wealthy Islamic
nations stepping up to the plate?  According to Amnesty International,
since the beginning of the Syrian civil war Saudi Arabia has not accepted a
single Syrian refugee.  Neither has Kuwait.  Neither has Qatar.  Neither
has the United Arab Emirates.  These nations are absolutely swimming in
money, and yet they have slammed the door on these desperately needy
Islamic refugees.  So what precisely does that tell us?

When I first learned about this, I was quite upset.  So much pressure is
being put on the U.S, Europe and other wealthy nations to take in vast
numbers of Syrian refugees, and yet the wealthiest Islamic nations in the
Middle East are completely shunning them.  The following comes from TruNews
<https://www.trunews.com/hypocrisy-of-immigration-crisis-muslim-states-have-accepted-zero-refugees/>
…

While the United States and Europe argue over how many Syrian refugees to
allow in, the richest Persian Gulf states have accepted *exactly zero*.

The Muslim countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council that include Kuwait,
Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates steadfastly
refuse to accept any Syrian refugees. Amnesty International, USA (AIUSA)
tells The Daily Caller News Foundation they *have not accepted a single
refugee* since the armed Syrian conflict erupted years ago.

“The Gulf States have accepted *zero refugees* registered with the United
Nations and administered through the U.N. resettlement program. They have
accepted *zero*,” Geoffrey Mock, the Syrian country coordinator for AIUSA,
tells TheDCNF.

To be honest, if people are leaving Syria because they want to get away
from ISIS, then they probably wouldn’t want to go to Saudi Arabia.

Yes, things are certainly more peaceful in Saudi Arabia than in Syria at
the moment, but the truth is that the Saudis and ISIS have much in common.
Both embrace a radical version of Sunni Islam that is more than a little
bit frightening, and both are run by religious fanatics that are absolutely
ruthless.  Just consider the following chart on crime and punishment under
both systems that was put out by Middle East Eye

Do you see what I am talking about?

Considering the fact that so much money from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf
nations goes to ISIS and other jihadist groups in Syria, you would think
that the Saudis would feel some sort of obligation to clean up the mess
that they started.

But instead, they want all of the rest of us to deal with the refugee
crisis that they have played a large role in creating.

Barack Obama wants to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees into the
United States
<http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/obama-the-number-of-refugees-from-syria-and-elsewhere-will-be-increased-to-100000-per-year>,
but is that really a good idea?

First of all, we know that ISIS has never been more popular in the United
States than it is right now
<http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/09/11/the-united-states-of-isis.html>,
and one recent survey found that approximately 13 percent
<http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/11/shock-poll-third-of-syrian-refugees-isis-sympathizers-13-percent-support/>
of all Syrian refugees say that they fully support ISIS.

Secondly, the vast majority of these refugees end up on public assistance
for an extended period of time.  So not only are we bringing in potential
terrorists, we are paying for the privilege of doing so.  The following
comes from Natural News
<http://www.naturalnews.com/052131_Middle_Eastern_immigrants_Syrian_refugees_entitlement_handouts.html>
…

Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) data analyzed by the immigration
subcommittee staff of Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., who is chairman of the
Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, says that in fiscal
year 2013, *91.4 percent* of refugees from the Middle East, who were
accepted into the country between 2008-2013, were receiving taxpayer funded
food stamps. Meanwhile, the data showed that *73.1 percent* were eligible
for, and receiving, Medicaid benefits or Refugee Medical Assistance,
while *68.3
percent* were on cash-payments welfare.

Thirdly, many of these refugees have no intention of ever integrating into
our society.  Even among those that are highly educated, many fully intend
to continue to practice a form of radical Islam that is antithetical to our
way of life.  Just consider an incident that recently took place in Missouri
<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3338058/University-Missouri-Assistant-Professor-charged-violently-grabbing-14-year-old-relative-hair-dragging-school-not-wearing-hijab.html>
…

An assistant professor at an American university has been arrested *for
allegedly grabbing a 14-year-old female relative by the hair and dragging
her into a car after he noticed she wasn’t wearing a hijab*.

Youssif Z. Omar, 53, was reportedly at Hickman High School in Columbia,
Missouri, on Tuesday when he spotted that the girl did not have the
traditional Muslim headscarf.

Officer Latisha Stroer told the Columbia Tribune in an email that Omar
grabbed the girl ‘very violently by the hair’.

He then allegedly *slapped her across the face*, and pulled her by the
hair *down
a flight of stairs* and into his car.

No matter what side of the political spectrum you are on, those certainly
are not the kind of “values” that we want in our nation.

Yes, there are lots of good people fleeing Syria that need our help.  In
particular, I can very much understand why Christians are running away from
the tyranny that ISIS and other jihadist groups are trying to impose over
there.  Believers in Jesus Christ are being enslaved, tortured, beheaded
and crucified by ISIS
<http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-time-is-coming-that-whoever-kills-you-will-think-that-he-is-offering-a-service-to-god>,
and so if my family was living in Syria I would be searching for a way out
too.

In addition, we should all keep in mind that it is entirely possible that
many of us may become refugees ourselves someday.  In our dealings with
refugees from foreign lands, we should consider how we would like to be
treated if we found ourselves in their shoes.

But that doesn’t mean that we should throw the door wide open and just let
anyone in.  And according to one recent survey
<http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-11-18/bloomberg-poll-most-americans-oppose-syrian-refugee-resettlement>,
it appears that the American people are overwhelmingly against Barack
Obama’s plan
<http://themostimportantnews.com/archives/thousands-of-syrian-refugees-being-resettled-by-obama-could-end-up-in-48-out-of-50-u-s-states>
to settle thousands upon thousands of Syrian refugees all over the country…

*Fifty-three percent* of U.S. adults in the survey, conducted in the days
immediately following the attacks, say the nation should not continue a
program to resettle up to 10,000 Syrian refugees. Just *28 percent* would
keep the program with the screening process as it now exists, while *11
percent* said they would favor a limited program to accept only Syrian
Christians while excluding Muslims, a proposal Obama has dismissed as
“shameful” and un-American.

So what do you think our approach should be?
