The world has a serious problem, that of the massive number of refugees fleeing Middle Eastern war-torn countries. The vast majority of these refugees are Syrian and Iraqi Muslims while non-Muslims constitute less than three percent.

Some countries refuse to admit refugees. Lebanon and Jordan shut their borders to Syrians in 2014. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United-Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman will not take a single refugee because of the crime and violence threat to their safety, as jihadist terrorists hide among those fleeing.

After the Paris attacks, Poland said, “ Forget about taking in refugees.” Turkey has ended its open door policy of admitting Syrian refugees. Last autumn, Hungarian soldiers sealed their border with barbed wire. By refusing to issue visas, Egypt effectively closed its borders to Syrian refugees. Switzerland’s motto pertaining to Muslims is “ If you reject our customs, we will reject your application.”

On the other hand Slovakia is Ok taking in Syrians - as long as they’re not Muslim.

The massive migration is due to warring Islamic factions with ISIS as the main aggressor. ISIS has declared that it is restoring the Islamic Caliphate naming Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as Caliph and designated him as political leader. ISIS is attempting to establish itself, by force if needed, as the leader of one Islamic world, worldwide Muslim movement, with no national boundaries.             

Islamic jihadists continue attacking around the world, spreading terror while murdering dozens and maiming thousands of innocent civilians, recently in Turkey, Germany, France, California and Florida. Many countries see the danger. Yet it appears government leaders such as our president and former secretary of state are more interested in protecting thousands of Syrians, with practically no vetting, rather than protecting Americans.
