In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, many Americans are concerned about ISIS sleeper cells in the United States and ISIS infiltrators among refugees. What is the media worried about?
Republicans, of course.
While France and other countries debate how to effectively respond to an attack in Paris by the Islamic State, U.S. journalists are increasingly preoccupied with how the “right wing” and conservative politicians and activists are reacting to the tragedy.
After the events last Friday, many lawmakers and candidates for public office both in Europe and the U.S. have expressed skepticism about taking in refugees from Syria, where the Islamic State is claiming territory, citing the possibility of terrorists using the refugee system to invade countries they want to attack. One of the Paris attackers entered the country posing as a refugee.
But the New York Times responded by saying that “Republicans on Capitol Hill” and “conservative” governments in Europe that threaten to reject migrants were in engaging in “dangerous” politics.
“These responses are wrong,” the Times wrote. “Confusing refugees with terrorists is morally unacceptable and, as a matter of strategy, misguided.”
Between the media, and those in the Obama Administration who think that global warming and free speech are the problem, the West is in trouble. The problem isn’t the actual threat of terrorism, it’s mean spirited rhetoric.
