Allowing Refugees from Syria is an all around bad idea

But that is EXACTLY what makes them RADICAL, both Muslims such as ISIS and Al-qaeda, ect & organizations such as the KKK, Neo Nazi, Charles Manson, for the Mormons its those that practice polygamy. Its claimed by the majority mainstream that these RADICALS are preverting the faith into their own twisted version to justify their actions. Christians say that KKK and Neo Nazis are are not Christians cause they don't hold to a lot of the tenants of the faith. But a lot of Christians themselves don't follow all of the tenants of their own faith that is called for in the Bible, Old or New Testament. Example - The seventh of the Ten Commandments, handed down by GOD states, "Thou shalt not commit adultery" Exodus 20:14. We are told in I John 3:4, that sin is the transgression of God's law, therefore, by commiting adultery you are transgressing against God's law, and therefore, sinning. Not only has God forbidden adultery, but Jesus himself said, "Who so looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart" Matthew 5:28. If even an adulterous THOUGHT is sin, surely the adulterous ACT is sin. Peter described some sinners of his day as having "eyes full of adultery, that cannot cease from sin" II Peter 2:14 and Paul warned the Corinthians to "flee fornication" I Corinthians 6:18.

WOW ! Thats a lot of adulterous acts and thoughts = a whole lot of sin. The seriousness of the sin of adultery can be seen under the law of Moses the penalty was death by stoning. (Deuteronomy 22:2, John 8:4,5). But the seriousness of adultery is most clearly described by the eternal punishment of those who commit the sin cause an adulterer CANNOT GO TO HEAVEN. Ephesians 5:5 says: " "No whoremonger, no unclean person hath an inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God." And in Colossians 3:6, we are told that because fornication, uncleanness, and inordinate affection, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. YET people who claim to be Christians cheat all the time. You say " Well they are not TRUE Christians then cause TRUE christian wouldn't go against GODs word. " Okay. Lets pick another example - GREED. Now most people will agree that greed is running rampart in our society. Big corporations and a few at the top profit off of the sweat, blood, backs and misery of those under them. Jesus warned, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man"s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions" Luke 12:15. "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal" You cannot serve both God and money" Matthew 6:19 and 24. Pope Francis, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church from which Christianity many branches springs from routinely speaks out against greed and its destructive nature, advocating a simple life and charity towards those less fortunate. Jesus taught that it is not the money itself that was the problem. The love of money becomes a sin because it gets in the way of worshipping God and holding true to other tenants of his faith. "Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me . . . I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me"" (Matthew 25:34-36, 40). It is telly us that when we care for someone in need,love, give charity, we do the will of Christ. "If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" John 3:17-18. "What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead" James 2:14-17. When a rich young ruler asked Jesus what he should do to inherit eternal life, Jesus told him to sell all his possessions & give the money to the poor. "When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth" Matthew 19:16-22; Luke 10:17-31. By instructing the rich ruler to give up his money to those in need of it, Jesus pointed out the young man"s main problem: greed. The man could not follow Christ because he was following money. His love of this world interfered with his love for God. Following this thought you might say " But don't we give millions of dollars to charities all the time ? " Yes we do. Total charitable contributions by individuals, corporations, and foundations was an estimated $298.42 billion in 2011, up 4 percent in current dollars and 0.9 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars from a revised total of $286.91 billion in 2010, according to a report from the Giving USA Foundation & the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University. These figures are based on estimated charitable deductions on tax returns filed for 2011. But what about that homeless man on the corner you passed while drinking your overpriced Starbucks coffee this morning ? What about the millions or kids in the US alone that go hungry everyday while you pig out at a buffet ? Our greed drive us to consume things based on a projection of wealth status to other. A $1000 handbag, expensive cars while we can't even buy groceries or pay utility bills, ect ect Unless you are willing to give up your riches ( TV, car, laptop, iPhones, ect ) & live simply, you are going against a tenant of your faith....Making YOU a radical ! DUN DUN DUN ! lol I focused on Christian cause that is what I am most familiar with (born as) but I can make a case for Muslims too if you want
