Should countries take in refugees from Syria?

World leaders are still willing to accept refugees from Syria since the recent acts of terrorism. Do you agree with this or should we shut our borders to them?

an absolute YES.

To be honest, this topic is something me and my partner discuss every day and I am really scared. I've seen so many pictures and overall information that shows only bad things about them and their intentions, including the awful event in Paris and it makes me feel not safe.

Just because they live in a bad country does not mean that there not human life... I say take them in.. if we close the borders than we are giving them a death sentence and that is not right.

I am personally on the fence about this, on one hand i don't want any more Syrian refugees in my country. We place so much emphasis on protecting the innocent there, yet the people in our own country are in jeopardy and sometimes feel we have become to liberal as a society.

Then i read stories of how Jewish refugees were not allowed in certain countries at the start of World War ll. Hindsight is 20/20 and looking back now how could we turn them away.

I really feel split down the middle on this. It is a scary time for the world and some countries are more targets than others. Who would of ever imagined that with all the military,fighter pilots, training and weapons every country has prepared for war, we are up against a few suicide bombers at a time that are equipped only with a gun. And it is enough to forever reshape our world.

My answer is YES, definitely. Syrian refugees are victims and targets of terrorism as much as European or American citizens are.

It's a rather vast topic but I can tell you this: Islamic State militants consider refugees as traitors and are determined to punish them.

No.they are too different and cant integrate
They need receive help but not to come in my country
It is strange they not even  like to come in my country because not have so many benefits here..they only want go in rich country

Border guards Timişeni they took the two refugee brothers , a few meters from the border with Serbia . When immigrants have realized that they are in Romania , they began to cry.

The men were taken by border guards and taken to hearings Timişeni writes opiniatimişoarei.ro . They cried and told the border guards that did not want to arrive in Romania , but got lost and believed to be in Hungary . Furthermore, they asked to be returned to Serbia .

So is obviously they are not happy only with peace

My answer is:
i still live n Romania

and maybe my answer is weird but im not agree people go in other country and i also have part family in Spain,was better with they home
I like see french in France.germans in Germany
i.m only agree if they go study or go work with contract and the most i agree peoples go in other country in vacantions

my opinion can be wrong i not say i have right,dont judge me to hard
i,m afraid about your reactions

My answer is yes, we should help them as much as possible. We had/have many refugees in Belgrade and they are mostly stationed around our Central Train and Bus Stations. I see them lying around on the grass, in small tents in the parks, and I don't mind them. At first it was weird, but now not so much, but a permanent solution is necessary. 

what happened to the human compassion and solidarity ...

I have many to tell but from my experience many are not agree with me so probably i wrong ,so i wait to see what other say maybe they will help me to change my atitude to became a better person

I know i always need add a bit  poison in my comments

I lived in Oslo, Norway for a couple of years.There is a district, Gronland with a lot of refugees.

Read this article and You'll understand why my answer is the strongest NO:

https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2013/11/19/muslims-turn-norway-suburb-into-crimeden-police-we-have-lost-the-city/

At first, when none of this had happened, I was strongly saying and thinking- yes, we need to do that and it will help us too to be more humane. But when I saw the pictures where they are threating everyone who doesn't like their belief, when I heard about the many rapes they've done in Sweden and elsewhere, then Paris.. And the rudeness that comes across when they are not happy with the places they've gone to. Yes some sort of help is needed, but I think we need to think about ourselves first.  Right now I'm afraid to live in my own country and I'm afraid to travel and that's not how I want to live. Might sound harsh but that's just how I feel.

...

Ive seen the below quoted picture before. This is a proof how mainstream and social media influenced ppl are too quick to judge.

As it turned out that guy was a member of official Government forces so that image was taken out of the context and misused for the purpose sensationalism  and creating fear.

...

Yes. Verification of identity and, if not a terrorist - welcome.
I believe that refugees are obliged to accept the conditions of life of the country where they settled.
Adhering to their religion do not to humiliate our religion its attributes and rites.

Paris has nothing to do with the Syrian refugees, all eight attackers were EU citizens.

Syria has been a WORLD problem for a very long time and as they do not have so much oil no-one cared for a very long time, I mean we are talking about many YEARS of civil war of the worst kind. Two countries, Russia and China, have blocked every resolution of the UNO for those many years. The logical consequence is that the people are leaving the country and they would keep to do so unless we do not resolve the problem. Interestingly they do not want to go to Saudi Arabia or VAE and prefer to live in a country dominated by christians.

Stopping refugees from getting in would not stop terrorists at all. They (the modern terrorist) are good organised and have enough money to go where they want to, legal or illegal. Being cruel to refugees would not help. Those people (the refugees), they trust us to be good christians and to help them. Crazy world.

first they refuse to come in my country because is a poor one
if i was born in Syria i would go in first country where is peace  and which accept me

is hard to understand romanian peoples ,maybe my comments sound racist so i will stop

are you hungarian?if yes what botters you?we all know your country atitude beside refugges,that mean Viktor Orban is taken as racist?

my favorite song from all the times to calm  this conflict

apology,peace and love to all 

everyone saw what happened in Paris last week.a lot of refugees are possible terrorists.
So, I think no!

That what happened in Paris is shocking and i wish that wont hapend ever again, but there is a lot of good people for there , poor people that are running away for war in their countries . They are carring their childrens and want a better life for them . I know there is a lot of terrorist , but not all . There should be more controle on borders .

yes let them all in they are just people trying to get away from war they are not terrorist, the real terrorist are the caucasians they shoot up schools and do massive killings and they also blow up stuff every other day, I still have yet to see a refugee do any harm and there's millions of them.

Take it easy man. The Oslo police has not "lost the city". The ambulances and the firefighters can still drive in to all parts of Oslo, without escorte from the police.

As they can not in some Swedish cities, like Stockholm and Malmø.

they was offended to receive that food
probably was better in Syria :
maybe bombs and guns  arent so frightening

After all unhappy events from Koln and other places i no regret my answer regarding refugees
Never was so bad in Europe

I personally feel that this is not just a trouble with a particular country but a particular mindset to create hell on earth, killing innocent people in the name of religion. Ironically, Saudi Arabia and a few more nations finance this massacre.
          Kudos to Putin to clear this mess. Any such conquest by any terrorist organization in any part of the world should be diminished.

We are a nation of immigrants. You let them in. I grew up during Vietnam, I remember Vietnamese kids coming to the school. Did we toss the Japanese out just because of Pearl Harbor. Some of our greatest citizens will be some Muslims that really appreciate that we saved their necks.

I think Saudi Arabia should spearhead the task of welcoming the immigrants from Syria. They are a very wealthy nation and they should help their Muslim brothers

Yes they should, but let them stay in an area just for them and when the danger is over they need to go home.

I still strongly believe that no. In my whole life I don't remember a time when the whole Europe was feeling so shaken and afraid as it is now.

Have seen this topic over the last couple of months and I never responded.  The USA has always helped others in their times of need. I am proud of that fact. Whenever there is a crisis, we are the ones other countries look to for guidance.  If we don't start protecting our own interest, and protecting our citizens, there will be no USA for others to run to. Financially it is crippling our economy. My heart goes out to those in need, and I thank God everyday I was born in this great country.  Terrorists , groups with their own agendas are everywhere. We need to figure out a better way to monitor who we are letting into this country. Not just the Syrians, everyone. Before any one slams me for thinking this way , I know that there are good people trying to enter this country, probably 98 percent. But that other 2 percent have killed about 4000 of our citizens. Can we afford not to change our policies.
thank you didn't mean to ramble on

The refugees problem is the biggest challenge we have had since the WWII and no-one knows what to do.The life with the refugees is changing so fast and the people do have problems to adapt and this apply to everyone. All of a sudden we don't have enough buildings, enough jobs etc. And of course those Christmas pictures in Cologne, not the best publicity for the refugees and for the outlanders. At the end of January we are still discussing those pictures and the problems from the January 1st.
