I find the title of this thread interesting in that it specifically calls out Muslim refugees.
So it would be okay or not okay if the US accepted Christian refugees? Who decides what religion the refugee is? Based on asking the refugee? One day I could be Catholic the next day Jewish, Muslim, Atheist...I could answer that question a million different ways.
The states blocking the immigration of refugees is more symbolic than anything. In the end, there is little a state can do to block someone from entering their state once they have arrived on US soil.
There was an interesting article published by the Washington Post that questions whether or not having the world all tied up with Islamaphobia is exactly what ISIS plan is. The article makes sense, ISIS is selling hate against western civilizations in an attempt to promote their radical and misconstrued views. ISIS then says "we told you so" after all the refugees are blocked from the boarders and persecuted in the countries they immigrate to.
Which leads me to:
The broad painting that all Muslims are evil and that Mosques should be shut down is getting ridiculous. These crackheads represent Islam no more than Jim Jones, the KKK, Mormon kid camps, or Westboro Baptist represent Christianity. Does the riots in Ferguson and looting in New Orleans represent all Blacks? ISIS starts with an ideology and twists it for personal gain (much like Jim Jones or the KKK). They then package it nicely and sell it. People who are hopeless, hungry, homeless, persecuted, ostracized..etc, eat that shit up with the promise of food, shelter, land, friends, women...
So why are all the refugees military aged men carrying cell phones? Simple - the media takes the photos and posts the photos that carries their agenda. According to a UN website there are over 4 million Syrian refugees with slightly over half being female. As for cell phones...hell, homeless people in the U.S. have cell phones - moot point.
With ALLLLLL the above being said - Do I think we should accept refugees? Sure - pending they go through the SAME process that other legal immigrants have to go through to get here and provided they can become contributing members of society.
So for Order of the Flying Spaghetti Monster's sake, stop drinking the grape kool-aid and believing all the Facebook, "like" whoring, drama queens generating meme's to garner attention for their pages.
