This article makes a great point regarding ISIS aim to turn western nations against the refugees. I can't even fathom how it feels to be forced from your home, then be greeted with hostility just about everywhere. It's not hard to imagine developing the sense of hatred that leads to irrational decisions (like joining ISIS), especially in the younger refugees.

I have no idea what the solution is, but I think it's clear banning refugees isn't it. I understand the fear, and I'm as scared as anyone about the potential for new attacks. Still, we need to unite everyone against ISIS, not drive new recruits towards them.
