To call families fleeing war "potential terrorist candidates"...
Can you see how this is an extremely broad, lazy generalization? What really supports this comparison, other than their religion and colour of their skin?
To the parent's point, support for this generalization comes from the very odd fact that fully 75% of the composition of the refugee families are men, with women and children comprising 12% and 13%, respectively.
I personally don't like this argument. It is not surprising that young men will go first and let their families come safely after. Not all of Syria is a war zone after all.
If course it is, it was meant to be. While my comment represented my thoughts about the whole situation, I also wanted to provoke a little bit.
And yes, "families fleeing war" are potential terrorist candidates. There is quite a possibility of future generations to radicalize. This happens (Europe exports quite some fighters for ISIL) and it will happen in the future, because the foundations are present. The refugees coming here will be mosty the future bottom of the lower class. And being poor, having no perspective and being insecure about ones identity aren't really things thatr you want to experience combined into a single adolescent boy.
And "families fleeing war" are not the only ones coming as refugees. It is also the fleeing fighters of ISIL.
