Interrogate Simon, Uncomfortably

[LutiChris]

Uhhhh, I know it's bad of me, but I do not really follow what's happening in the world right now. I don't know how to explain it, surely I have time for that, but something inside me just wants to ignore everything the media brings. Sure, if the opportunity stroke I would be glad to help the refugees as much as I can. What about you, my fellow american?

From what I take away from the refugee crisis is not black and white but its not really complicated either. I genuinely believe there are those who want to escape the terrible things that are going on in the middle east but then you also have the barbaric people who want to spread their hatred and violence toward infidels and make their ideology rule the world. We don't know who's coming from the middle east to harm others but that doesn't mean we simply ignore the ones that are in need of help. I'm not too concerned if we as a country in the US shut down and close off immigration for the sake of our safety.. im sure other countries would be open to housing the refugee's. My beef with the entire thing is the ideology. If they don't take it seriously and don't harm others then im fine with them coming over. But the fact that you can still have normal people come into or be born in the country and develop radical views/interpretations based on this ideology is what i think is causing terrorism to continue. Most people (I would think) are moderates but religion is what makes reasonable people do terrible things and its especially easy to do so when they don't have proper 21st century education. But even with 21st century education people don't want to have discussions about it and if people aren't willing to have a dialogue about uncomfortable subjects then ignoring the real problem will only allow more and more of this stuff to ensue. If it was reformed and not taken seriously like all the other religions today I wouldn't have a problem. But the fact that i see a bunch of reports involving the refugees and a spike of increased crimes in areas where they outlaw guns only makes me think otherwise.

What are your thoughts about what i've said so far?
