Senator, and presidential candidate, Ted Cruz has the solution to vetting Syrian refugees: only allow Christians to enter our holy land. We can hear the hallelujahs from the evangelical wing of the Republican party. Perhaps they will be singing all the way into the primary voting booths.
Testing may be tricky. These are the same people that believe our church going president is a Muslim. Will this truly be the church militant, with an army of ministers guarding the border?
Republicans are shirking their responsibility. The neocon wing of the party broke the Middle East with the ill advised Iraq war, but refuse to own it. Security concerns will not solve the refugee crisis. Our allies in Europe and the Middle East have already absorbed nearly 2 million refugees. Our proposal to accept 10,000 is a mere pittance. Nearly 1/3 of the world population is Muslim. If we propose to be the world leader, we must lead the whole world, not just bona fide Christians.
