This week, as the death toll in the Paris attacks climbed to 130 (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/paris-attack-death-toll_564f3f7ee4b0d4093a57517f), the rhetoric in the U.S. turned ugly. Even though all the attackers identified so far were European nationals (http://thinkprogress.org/world/2015/11/16/3722838/all-paris-attackers-identified-so-far-are-european-nationals-according-to-top-eu-official/), American politicians were vying to see who could shut the door on Syrian refugees the hardest. On Thursday, the House voted (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/house-democrats-syria-refugees_564f5607e4b0879a5b0ac4f7)to add more requirements to what is already an arduous process (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/refugee-screening-process-syrians_564b55ece4b045bf3df0ece7). Even worse was Jeb Bush's suggestion that perhaps refugees should have to prove that they're Christian (http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/11/17/jeb-bush-urges-caution-on-accepting-syrian-refugees/), or Donald Trump saying we might have "no choice (http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/260574-trump-absolutely-no-choice-but-to-close-mosques)" but to shut down mosques. Marco Rubio went one step further, saying "it's about closing down any place (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/11/20/morning-plum-marco-rubio-tiptoes-around-trumps-call-for-closing-mosques/)" where "radicals are being inspired." Even as Americans continue to stand with Parisians, our leaders seem ready to abandon our principles. What the terrorists are attacking is openness and tolerance - giving them exactly what they want seems like a very odd way to fight them. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
