[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]What a strange post. Those are Turks, not Syrian refugees. Turkey is supporting many of the Jihadists who are the cause of the refugee problem in the first place. That's almost like blaming Palestinians for something the Israelis do.

Anti-western pro-jihad attitudes are wide spread among our Muslim allies in Turkey.  But rejected by 100% of Syrians.  Got it.

Pew research shows the vast majority of middle eastern muslims favor imposition of Sharia Law.  But of course, this wouldn't apply the that bastion of secular liberalism that is Syria.[/quote]

Syria actually is, or was, secular. I think it's a good bet that people fleeing jihadists are not fans of jihad. But go ahead and keep banking on stereotypes. [/quote]

Wow..so was Iran before the shah was overthrown. Just because a government is Secular does not mean private citizens are not religious, or even fundamentalist. I agree many Syrian refugees are city folk displaced seeking economic opportunity and freedom and are probably comfortable with a more western government, but that does not mean they have all shed religious customs or traditional views. Have you read the accounts of gay refugees being hassled by non gay? One said they set his toes on fire. Also, as we have seen in Paris - the younger generation often veer traditional (even if its an invented notion of what that is) when they don't find their footing in the new society.. Oh, we saw that with the Boston bombers. Weren't they conflict refugees of some sort or other? Come here for a better life that they then rejected? Too many holes in the 'syria is secular' argument. And no one says people should not be religious. They should just not be bitter, crazed angry killers.[/quote]
