How should an American Christian respond to ISIS?

Nice dodge.

Translate: "I haven't done anything for Arabs or muslims or Arab muslims, but man am I wracked with guilt for being born here, so I am going to sooth my guilt by opening the doors to people claiming to be refugees from Syria when we can't possibly know where they are from or what they intend to do when they get here, but I'll feel better anyway."

Thanks for playing.

***?

I don't know what you are smoking but I'd probably join you if offered

no idea what I could possibly be dodging

but I feel no guilt what-so-ever though, I love the assumed Limbaugh-esque talking point liberal white guilt narrative without knowing me at all. I've never faltered on this point ever. I've always been open to all immigrants and I don't care where from or even why. It has nothing to do with guilt and everything to do with what I believe makes this country the greatest on Earth, even if people like you are trying to destroy it. This comes up in debates over Mexican and Latin immigrants on tf's all the time and I am always consistent. Migrant's made, and make America great.

Want to ask me a question, ask it and stop making ridiculous assumptions

Drop a nuke. Problem solved.

Great suggestion but one problem. You run the risk of Russia becoming the largest oil supplier in the world, and it would bring them out of their recession and put us in a bigger one. Russia would in turn become the world supreme power

If confined to Syria, probably not.

Maybe, but most likely tossing a nuke in Syria would result in the western world being either an uber amount of price increase or being totally shut out from oil trade with the Arabs. The Saudis are probably not going to take it well. Either event benefits Russia tremendously, so nukes aren't the best option or even close to the best option

Pyro likes to toss in a firebomb every once in a while. It's one of the worst ideas I've heard in a long time...

Re: the possibility of taking in thousands of refugees.

Some people need to be reminded of the classic story of the scorpion. The one that ends with, "you knew I was a scorpion." I hate to say I told you so, but I will, assuming I'm one who survives.

If we are going to take refugees, we should only take women, children, and men over 50. I'm not really for taking the refugees into our country, but that would be my compromise.

A favorite story of mine. Although I generally use it in certain political discussions, it works just as well here.

Not sure taking women is a good idea. It appears the wife of the mastermind of France massacare blew herself up last night.

They are pulling women and children in on the jihad. I agree with the 36 governors (and counting) that have said "No."

You think the Saudis or any other Arab country can afford to cease selling oil to the western world?

Do you think they are going to conduct business as usual and risk being overthrown by another Muslim regime?

Yes...we are their only hope. Without us, they most definitely fall.

The part about Iran is probably the biggest reason I'm 100% against it. They are backed by Russia and both would use the nuking of an Islamic country to their advantage to rid Saudi Arabia's supply to west. Bombing Syria puts Saudi in a predicament that if they don't cut ties they will face the wrath of a Russian backed Iran coming unopposed into Saudi Arabia.

They are coming for the Saudis anyway...now or later doesn't matter.

Regarding Syrian refugees, I found this article in Mother Jones of all places:

Think what you will, but one thing is clear: The political upside for Republican politicians pushing an immigration ban on Syrians and/or Muslims as a broader response to the threat posed by the Islamic State sure looks like a political winner.

"With an estimated 26,000 people calling Los Angeles sidewalks, cars and storm drains home, city officials on Tuesday approved an expanded campaign to help the homeless this winter"

I don't know how many of the homeless are illegals, Americans, veterans, or what race.....I do know we seem to have our own "refugees" who need help. The cost to American taxpayers in bringing in thousands of Syrians will be enormous and at the expense of those who need it here. The cost in additional surveillance and security for every large gathering is immeasurable. The cost to America's lost freedom, as a consequence, will be heartbreaking. It already is.
