Making Trump's Refugee Point


Making Trump's Refugee Point by Bill Wilson
 
Was the campus policeman who shot dead 18 year old Islamic Somali refugee Abdul Razak Ali Artan a bigot, a racist, a xenophobe?

He pulled the trigger.

Killed a young college student armed only with his car and a butcher knife. Could there have been another way?

Maybe the policeman just didn't understand the need for tolerance and acceptance of a young person in a strange new land.

Or just maybe President-Elect Donald Trump's idea is not so far-fetched of stopping Islamic immigration from known terrorist countries until there is a proper and thorough vetting process.

Just ask the 11 victims at the Ohio State University's campus who were run down and stabbed just because they are non-Muslim Americans.

Who is a racist xenophobe?

You and me for being concerned that the US president is resettling terrorists in our country who will attack our sons and daughters because they are different than the Islamists that are being resettled?

Donald Trump for wanting to pump the breaks and determine who is being resettled and if their beliefs align with American ideals?

No, let us put aside the politically correct nonsense that people like the president and Hillary Clinton, and soon to be Chairman of the Democratic Party Keith Ellison (another Islamist congressman), and call a bigot a bigot.

If we the people do not look at this from a critical perspective, we are endangering the lives of our children and the future of our country.

NBC News reports that law enforcement officials said that Artan was a Somali refugee who left his homeland with his family in 2007, lived in Pakistan and then came to the US in 2014 as a legal permanent resident.

Interesting.

Both Somali and Pakistan are terrorist supporting countries.

How did this kid become a legal permanent resident coming from those areas?

NBC News reports that Artan wrote on what appears to be his Facebook page that he had reached a "boiling point," made a reference to "lone wolf attacks" and cited radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

Artan's post said, "America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah [community]. We are not weak. We are not weak, remember that."

Trump's point made.

The politically correct crowd label people racists, bigots or xenophobes because they would err on the side of caution before allowing radicals to resettle in peaceful areas.

It would be my wish that every refugee that comes to this country would come to the knowledge and acceptance of Jesus Christ. Folks like Artan need Jesus Christ. They are so passionate about their own false religion that they will kill and be killed for it. Think of how on fire they would be for the truth if they only knew it.

But they generally hate us because of Christ.

So who is the bigot?

Keep trying to bring people to their senses. As in Romans 14:16-17, "Let not then your good be evil spoken of: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."

You are not a bigot for trying to preserve life, or because you want to share the eternal life Christ brings with those who do not know Him.
