Western powers are insane to be letting the Syrian refugees into their countries. (And I think the U.S. needs to extricate itself from the Middle East ... our presence there has been almost totally counterproductive.)
First of all because that takes the pressure off the Syrian, Iraqi, Turkish, Lebanese, Kurdish, Saudi governments to come to a solution.
Second because what is happening in Paris is exactly the results of a migration of Islamic and non-European cultures into Europe (and the U.S.?). This also demonstrates the need for cultural integration of immigrants into the lands into which they have moved.
Just like any religion, extremists become fanatical and right now we are seeing this for a variety of reasons in the Arab-Muslim world.
Of course, 99 percent of Muslims are just trying to live their lives like all the rest of us, but there is simply no denying the fact that Muslim radical fanatics are on a rampage in the Middle East and around the world ... in New York, Washington, Madrid, London, et al.
I am very sorry for this, but to preserve our liberal democracies it may be necessary to stop immigration into European nations and the U.S. from the Middle East; it may be necessary to face square-on the militancy of the radical faction of Islamic extremists.
