What else Islamic goons (either those already here, coming, or the new recruits from millions who are to arrive next year and won't be satisfied with the welfare money) will have to "achieve" before they're kept where they're coming from, is it ... an airplane hijacked, a nuclear power-plant hijacked?? I'm at a complete loss here, and I'm not going to post on this any more.
No one has ever, or will ever object to keeping the "goons" out, the problem lies in how to root out the few extremist elements within the refugee masses without resorting to heavy-handed and disproportionate measures that makes hundreds of thousands or even millions of innocents (who already risked everything and endured much to get to the boarders of Europe) suffer unnecessarily.
A handful amongst millions committed the atrocity in Paris, and it now looks like many of those who were involved were French citizens, thus not only is blaming the Syrian refugees misplacing the blame, its never going to work.
Because even if you ban every single man woman and child from Syria from the EU, the attackers would have still got through with their French passports somehow.
The attackers probably used fake Syrian passports (in that the identifies of the men carrying them were faked, the passports themselves were almost certainly real ones, that ISIS captured from Syrian government passport offices, which they were able to make using all the legitimate equipment and base materials also captured to make it impossible for anyone to detect the forgery) and the mass or refugees as cover to re-enter Europe, since many or all of them would likely have been on police watch lists. It would have been riskier, and some of them would likely have been stopped and caught at the boarder, but some would be able to slip through nonetheless.
Causing a humanitarian catastrophe right on the doorstep of Europe is not the solution to any problem, it will be the reason and cause of further, worse attacks.
They key to combating terrorism is to stop the flow of money and fresh recruits.
Money is a totally different matter, but you are only helping the terrorists swell their ranks by stopping the refugees coming into the EU.
By all means, screen them, process them, segregate them unit that has been done. But do that inside the EU's boarders, where EU police could enforce European laws and values within the camps and stop the radicals gaining any sway. Provide decent accommodation, food, water and medical treatment so the refugees do not suffer more than necessary.
Set up schools, language classes, job fairs and work gangs inside the camp to help keep moral up and aid with eventual integration of the refugees into the wider public community.
But most importantly of all, use the real refugees as your first line of defence. Get them to look to their neighbours and report any suspicious activities to the EU police.
The EU could thus process and absorb all the refugees in an orderly, safe manner, even if it takes years to do.
The alternative to absorbing all those refugees is to make their homeland safe again.
The EU could get on board with the Russians and help cut off outside support to ISIS so Assad's forces and the Russians could get on with taking the fight to ISIS in Syria and exterminating them. Or the EU could really pull it's thumb out and join the fight directly on the ground in Syria.
Come down from Turkey, and crush ISIS between the EU armies and Assad's forces. Make Syria a safe place to return to and the EU's refugee crisis takes care of itself.
