Soap Box

The influx of refugees from the perpetually war-torn Middle East currently flooding Europe presents a problem of immense measures right now, but the current problems it presents pales in comparison to the problems it will present in the future.

Germany, for instance, is accepting eight hundred thousand in a nation of 80.62 million and the refugees will represent almost one percent of the German population in a nation that already has a prominent Muslim constituency.

This flow of refugees is just the beginning of what is bound to come, as the word gets back to Syria and the Isis controlled countries, that there is acceptance in the West, that there's food, shelter and safety available, the flow will turn into a raging river of humanity trying to escape the heartless tyrants and fanatic Muslim murderers that now control so much of the Middle East.

And who can blame them, who can fault a mother or father seeking asylum for their children? I certainly can't, but still and all that doesn't negate the dangers and the future shock this mass
invasion represents.

For one thing, these people are coming with nothing more than the clothes on their backs, they must be fed, housed, clothed and given medical care, all at the expense of the nations they end up in, causing an immediate and ongoing drain on the economy.

Secondly, how many of these people do you think will actually go back to the nations of their origin, most of them will, by one method or another, become permanent citizens of the host country, living among, but refusing to assimilate with the natives? 

Desperate hungry people are easy to deal with, they'll do what they're told, go wherever they're directed and abide by whatever rules they're asked to observe. But a few years, or even a few months down the line when their bellies are full and they have a regular bed to sleep in they may not be so pliable and Germany and other countries could well be importing their own Intifada.

And how many jokers has ISIS  slipped into the deck, how many covert fanatics have inserted themselves in the mix, sleeper cells of suicide bombers and rabid jihadists who will bide their time and bring forth chaos when the order to activate is given.

This is the perfect storm, genocidal maniacs bent on establishing an Islamic caliphate, a power mad tyrant who would rather kill half the population than give up power, a worldwide media which exploits the situation and shames any nation who refuses to open their doors and a US president who drew imaginary lines in the sand and refuses to leave a residual force in Iraq to prevent the rise of ISIS.

Now, Russia has taken the leadership role and, as many of us who remember the cold war know, once Russia gets its foot in the door, it usually stays there.

This whole refugee debacle could have been prevented if America had a president who would have kept his word and stood up to al-Assad and slapped him down when he used chemical weapons and insisted on leaving behind enough American troops in Iraq to keep the Islamic crazies at bay.

But it seems he is more interested in revitalizing Iran's terrorist capabilities and nuclear aspirations, another little piece of his legacy that America will have to live or die with.

In the early days ISIS could have been dealt with fairly easily as they drove caravan style though the desert showing off the state of the art American weapons they captured from the hapless Iraqi Army.

They could still be destroyed, if Obama would only let the elite American forces plan and execute it. But the likelihood of that happening is about the same as Harry Reid being elected governor of Alabama. Valerie Jarret just wouldn't put up with it.

So, what happens in the refugee situation, already the public opposition is starting to surface and it will only become bigger and louder as the flow increases. 

So, the world has millions of hungry, homeless people on its doorstep, people who, by rights and religion should be taken in by the oil rich nations of the Middle East. There is plenty of room and plenty of money, so why not Muslims helping Muslims.

But as usual, the task will be left to the two �satans� of the world, the infidels, the free countries who always answer the call, the very nations the radical Islamists want to wipe off the face of the earth.

So, what do we do about this? I sure don't have the answer, but I feel this is only the tip of a very large iceberg, something contentious that will foster many heated arguments on both sides of the issue as the world tries to figure out what to do with the millions of displaced people.

We can't simply turn our backs on them.

Al-Assad and ISIS are like a deadly contagious disease; the refugees can't go home until they have been completely stamped out.

This conundrum will not go away and unless not just America, but the free world gets some leadership who insists on solving problems instead of exacerbating them, you'd better tighten your cinch strap and make sure both feet are in the stirrups, cause, brothers and sisters, we are in for a rough ride. 

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America
