Terrorists Among Syrian Refugees
Looks like the ISIS Trojan Horse scenario I mentioned in September is playing out with the mass migration of refugees to Europe. Terrible news this past Friday, but can't say it was unexpected. It was also literally spelled out by ISIS as what they intended to do (flood Europe with migrants and hide among them).
The news here at least acknowledges that rather than treat it as a completely unpredictable event like they often do: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/11...
Just hope the Western world takes the vulnerability of opening up to mass immigration a little more seriously now, but it seems like politicians these days have worked themselves into a corner where they must always do the most short-term, emotionally righteous decision rather than think things through on a longer term, more rational perspective. The problem is they're always reacting to events instead of thinking one step ahead. It's almost as if they'd rather endure crisis after crisis together rather than make the tough call against the herd to prevent one. No matter what they do now with the immigration issue (close, tighten, whatever), whoever wanted to sneak in is already in, and they need to start looking past that.
