In 1941 Dr. Seuss sent a message that, sadly, hasn’t lost its meaning.

37. Just as abused kids often become violent adults, refugees can become rebellious citizens

The fact these refugees fled violence is no guarantee they or their offspring will be grateful.

1- polls of Syrian refugees show a solid 10% support ISIS.

2- experience (Germany, Britain) suggests the second generation grows more radical than the first.

3- more generally, the ideology of Islam includes such violent notions as jihad and violent response to blasphemy, and religious ideologies take 4 to 6 generations to fade away and/or become acceptable to the host culture.

Back to my frog and scorpion question: because many among the refugees deeply believe in the Muslim ideology, and because that ideology is actively being radicalized by the KSA and Qatar, are we sure welcoming refugees is not fraught with danger down the line in 10, 20, 30 years?

I am scared or scorpions and of religions.
